2023 GP France: Pairs' Thoughts?

[NanaPat]

so we cleared out one thing.... even if judges get the memo and there is a fall on the last jump 3t-2a-2a 4.2+3.3+3.3 , it's still is worth trying as 2.1+1 = 3.1 penalty and the jump is 3.3

Falling on the single axel or double toe would be costlier.

Yes, it's a high-scoring combo for those who can do it. I think we'll see more axel combos in the pairs. We are already seeing 3T-2A-1A and 3T-1A-2A as well.

3t-2a-2a is indeed better than 3t-3t-2t done by the aussies 4.2+4.2 + 1.3 = 9.7

Here is why I may have been misled

4. In jump combinations / jump sequences when applying the GOE with the numerical value of the most difficult
jump, the signs “<”, “e”, “V” are taken into account (e.g. 3T with Base Value 4.2 is considered more difficult
than 3F< with reduced Base Value 3.98).

So for a jump with a rotation call, the base value of the 3t may become higher, hence the minus 2.1

I knew it !!! I am not (completely) crazy LOL
