yes that is correct. "artistic" is a bit misleading as it's a more fitting term for rhythmic.

Sofia is in Minsk so she is going to compete. I hope she has a good showing there.

Liza went back to 3T-3T... Ironically, in the video released just a few days ago, she was saying how 3T-3T combo won't fare in the new season anymore..
I wonder why they don't go for Lz-T and solo flip?

Seems like an unnecessary risk to me. If she succeeds with both it will be amazing to see, but I figured they would have learned from JGPF last year.

I wonder if she will have the same strategy as Kamila and Aliona this year - if you land the 1st with a combo, go for the 2nd. If not, backup plan.

Why is Liza decreasing her tech content? She’s already not getting good scores with an increased content

They must think they can get higher GOE since the judges aren't going high enough for the lutz-toe. I don't think it's a great idea in this field, but after Finlandia maybe they think it's worth a try.

Maybe factoring in the lost GOE and penalty for "e" her team feels like the risks from trying the flip-toe aren't worth it. Even if she did a lutz-toe, I'm not sure that she can do a 3S or 3Lo out of steps.

cuz she can't do flip with the right edge?
With Eteri probably she have a back plan with all letters of the alphabet

Liza has changed the entrance of her 3A. She is doing a bracket now as an entrance.

No one can say she isn't trying. It is positively shocking to see how responsive Team Mishin is being to feedback from judges. It makes you wish they had done so long before it got to this point.

If only they had done this in 2018... she could’ve beaten Maria for that 3rd spot :/

I'm sure thats the plan. If they have that thinking with Kamila and Aliona, they'll use the same thinking with Anna. That -5 + << + REP that both her and Sasha got (iirc?) at JGPF 2018 really did not do the program well. Plus, starting with two huge falls is not good for the program; It will take away PCS for sure and make her tired for the rest of the routine. That being said, I still think its a better idea to do just one quad lutz, even if she lands the first one. I think she'll win with just one (or at very least be top 2), so I don't think its worth the risk. Plus, while the first quad lutz replaces a 2T making it worth it even if she falls, the second one replaces a triple flip, making it definitely not worth it if she falls. And from what I've seen of this practice, she's been landing the first one and then crashing the second one. If she wants to win/place at the GPF or make the top three at RusNats to make the Worlds team, then the two quad layout might be worth the risk (its probably necessary if she wants to have a good chance of winning GPF or Worlds), but here I don't see any benefits to attempting two. Maybe they want to make sure she beats Liza, but I think her priorities here should be making the GPF, for which she would want to just have a top two placement (a third place would make it really important that she wins CoC). And one quad lutz will definitely get her that. Although I guess one quad lutz + one quad lutz fall could still get her a top two placement anyways.
