I don’t get this layout at all. I have a hard time believing she’s somehow lost her 4T when she’s also doing 2 rippon 4Lzs. And if the goal is to play it safe and skate clean, surely that’s much more likely with the 4T than the 4Lz...not to mention, the lz-lo combo is still inexplicably in the program.
I read that Sasha refused to jump toeloops and salchows due to an injury because the supporting leg was injured. That's why she only trains lutz.I don’t get this layout at all.

Edit: Nvm, I just realized she repeated 3 jumps with this layout, so one of those 2As must be a placeholder for a 4T.
Is this from CoR? =/ I'm not sure if we ever found out if she was really injured or not.
No, doubles count separately in the Zayak rule. You can repeat two doubles of the same kind outside of triples and quads. (Anna had this exact same layout at her two GPs last season.) Not to mention that Sasha hasn't been seen trying the 4T in official practice in the past two days.I don’t get this layout at all.

Ah, that makes sense. Hope she is able to recover without delay. She really did look substantially worse at CoR, even in practice, then just a couple weeks earlier, coupled with the downscaled difficulty here makes injury the most likely scenario.
Well last season Kihira was doing 3A without a 3Lz. Or Lambiel with a 4T but not 3A in 2006. Not sure how it works, but there we are I guess.It's just kind of hilarious that someone's situation is "I'm injured, I can only do Quad Lutz with arms over my head".
Oh, it is! Just one of the reasons we love Sasha so much!It's just kind of hilarious that someone's situation is "I'm injured, I can only do Quad Lutz with arms over my head".
If fact that's why Anna jumps quad Lutzes and Flips, because her injury she suffered three years ago makes 4T and 4S impossible for her.It's just kind of hilarious that someone's situation is "I'm injured, I can only do Quad Lutz with arms over my head".
This layout is very interesting. Perhaps those rumours of injury are true. If she can't do 4T and 4S, knowing Sasha, I would expect her to go for a 4F as well? But we haven't seen that quad at all this season, maybe it is because she has been called ! on her 3Fs?
Not surprising at all. This season has been strange. A lot of skaters have been isolated and haven't gotten the chance to train properly.
Hmm wow. That's essentially Anna's old layout. Although, I just really want her to be clean, so I hope she goes with something "safer" like this.
I hope so too. Although, it's interesting from the girl who always wants to jump.
In other news, win and you're probably going to Worlds. But if you don't and we like you, expect a Evgenia Liza Cup of Russia esque skate-off scenario. And we reserve the right to pick whomever we want. So...business as usual.
