I agree, the lutz edge isn't a real problem, she's only doing one anyway. And her approach is smart, she's doing it early in the program, adds that tano and doesn't do it in combination. Even if she would get an edge call she wouldn't lose too many points. She gets the 10% bonus for her good jumping passes.

Does this say she will try 4S at the end of the season?

You know my Russian is wonky, but basically yes.
She says that figure skating isn't standing in place (is progressing) and it's necessary to try new things. It's necessary to constantly go forward in order not to be left behind. Sometimes it happened that she wanted to try something like that but the coach thought it was too early, too soon. For example, the 4S. She is interested in it and she wants to try to do it - at the end of the season.

So Eteri is against Zhenia trying 4S? I can understand. It might affect her consistency.

She was at least. As I understood, Zhenya wanted to do it earlier but was told by Eteri it was too soon (I do think you've got the correct reason as to why, her consistency but she doesn't say). So now she's going to try and do it, at the end.
Post Worlds probably, when nothing is really at stake. I mean I can certainly understand fiddling with it, considering what's happening and it's no risk then (as such things can be 'no risk', when it's a quad but I'm sure they'll be careful).

or cause an injury before the olympics
Maybe in Team Trophy? But I don't think she can do 4S
She has great turning force, so she can do 3T-3T-3T-3T but she is not powerful jumper as Miki Ando who succeeded in jumping 4S

I think the 3S is one of her best jumps, for what it's worth. As far as I know, Zhenya has already tried the 4S, this summer and she didn't include it because she felt she couldn't make the jump her own, if I remember well. Then recently, Tarasova mentioned the 4S when Zhenya did the 3S, I don't know if she knows something or just thinks she can give it a try.
As for whether she can or not, we'll have to wait and see but personally, I do think it'll be a struggle. But it's a struggle for every lady right now so heck, why not try and yes, definitely maybe WTT. One thing I absolutely have to give to her and that's her mentality of a champion and I think that's driving her to go for it. She is not giving up her place without a massive fight.

Even Miki's 4S was very short. But we shall see...
Wow. Well perhaps it's not worth it to do it at Worlds, but she could definitely do it at WTT

Frankly, she has no reason to do it at the Worlds. With how her programs are currently, if she continues being consistent, she's all right. But next season it may very well matter.
Still though. I wonder if she kept up the practice and it got good enough that she's now actually going to try. I just don't see her attempting it in public otherwise. Hmm, I am sure there was an interview that mentioned the 4S earlier too, I've got to see if I can find it, I don't remember what she said.

Well, she knows better she also sees what's and who is coming next on her own rink everyday, Alina, Polina, Sherbakova And she knows it's gonna be harder and harder as all those girls will come up, Anna and Sasha are both training difficult jumps for when they'll turn junior next season, Polya has supreme quality on everything, Alina counts on her extreme layouts It will be harder and harder, she knows and tries to upgrade her technical baggage, I only welcome this.

Yeah but can she land somewhat acceptable 4S? That's doubtful. I would be happy to see her to land an UR 4S though.
Trying 4S season before the Olympics is risky but if she succeeds it might be a powerful weapon in Korea. But to be honest I'd like it more if she polishes the elements she can already perform. Like her Axel :x Or trying to do 3-3-3 combination where all jumps are valid.
On the other hand Zhenya's quad would push ladies' competitions forward in terms of development.

Found it.
So from Dec 12th she said something like - it's in the works but not a priority. While doing it on a "fishing rod" (I think it's Russian phrase for harness), she has not yet done it. But it is not what you want to try the most. Female body is not as strong as the male. So it should be approached not from the point of power but from the point of technique.
And post Nats, when asked if there is anything else (they were referring to the 3-3-3) with which she can surprise people, she said maybe yes, maybe no. She'll surprise us.
So that's an interesting difference between mid-December and now.

She is so cute! It said that she did 3-3-3 multiple times in the practice and when she turned only 3-3, zhenya began to laugh
This girl really enjoys the competition.

Ah, she was excellent! :agree2: Russian commentary SP:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFnA9berh3E
TAT said she improves every time (I agree, I do think she was better here) and she actually said she's never seen one like her before.
Italian commentary, RAI:

Beautiful, incredible, no words. Really no words. In essence they adore her.
During the conference she said that yes, she can do different 3-3-3s, like 3F-3T-3Lo but it's more difficult for her and she'll only do it when her body is ready. Good attitude.
