Alina Zagitova

No. She will keep her old jump combos as they maximize her TES. 3F-3T would negate all the effort of doing 3Lz-3Lo, as she'll be repeating 3T.

Or she could do something like this:
3Lz-3Lo
3F-3T
3Lz-2T-2Lo
3F
3S
2A
2A

with whatever distribution they choose

I would love to see her do it like this:
2A
2A
3S
3Lz-2T-2Lo
//
3Lz-3Lo
3F-3T
3F
 
One of my fave technical figure skating fan-experts, Alice, said that the most rewarding program layout today (on BV and GOE) would be what Alina is already doing, will quote her here (she’s not an Alina fan btw, nor a hater):

“If she can’t do 3A but is confident in the rest of her triples, then the layout that would optimize her BV is a 7-triple program with 2 Lutzes and 2 flips. Basically, it’s what Alina Zagitova has been doing: 3Lz+3Lo / 2A+3T / 3F+2T+2Lo / 3Lz / 3S / 3F / 2A. This layout, with its 2A+3T combo, will also maximize her GOE range, since it keeps the number of solo doubles to a minimum. Note, though, that this layout would require the lady to be (1) capable of a +3Lo combo and (2) equally comfortable with both Lutz and flip - and this is the main reason why it’s incredibly challenging to pull off. “

Imo she will probably keep both her 3Lz-3Lo combination and her single 3Lz in the bonus part of her FP. This way, she has a back-up plan in case the first combo will not succeed and she won't be able to add the 3Lo. I feel like she trains more her signature combo, 3Lz-3Lo, so it won't be so comfortable to add the 3Lo at the end of a 3F (even though I am totally confident that she is capable of it, taking into account her outstanding athleticism and skill). :biggrin:

That would be worse than what she has before. Adding the 3T to the 2A maximizes GOE as it allows for the application of a triple's GOE to the combo, as opposed to a single 2A.
 
You mean her old school?
She hasn't changed school afaik, she has two classes more to go. I recalled the old periscope, when some boys from her school passed her, not saying a word, which she snarkily commented.

Hello figure skating experts. I was checking rules and found something interesting (I am not at expert and would appreciate if you can answer my question).

Jump sequences are evaluated as one unit by adding the Base Values of the two jumps, multiplying the result by 0.8 and applying the GOE of the jump with the higher numerical value. The factored Base Value of the jump sequence will be rounded to two decimal places.
Jump Sequences
A jump sequence consists of 2 (two) jumps of any number of revolutions, beginning with any jump, immediately followed by an Axel type jump with a direct step from the landing curve of the first jump to the take-off curve of the Axel jump.

For example: 3T + 2A will be considered as jump sequence and rule “0.8” will apply. (4.20 + 3.3)*0.8=6.0
It means she/he will lose points doing this jump sequence, did I understand it correctly?
But 2A + 3T will be considered as jump combination and will get full value.

Jump Combinations In a jump combination the landing foot of a jump is the take off foot of the next jump. One full revolution on the ice between the jumps (free foot can touch the ice, but no weight transfer) keeps the element in the frame of the definition of a jump combination.
An Euler (half-loop) when used in combinations between two listed jumps becomes a listed jump with the value indicated in the Scale of Value.
If the first jump of a two-jump-combination fails to be successful and turns out as a “non-listed jump”, the unit will still be considered as a jump combination.

So Alina is not planning to put 3Lz 3Lo at the 2nd half to get extra points this year for the SP huh?

Well guess she might do it for thr FS

I remember that periscope translation, she was walking around the ponds near her apartment when told that. It was no later than summer of 2016, at that time she was studying in another comprehensive school. 2017 is her first year at Sambo as a comprehensive school (i.e. besides figure skating).
