I would love that too.
It actually didn‘t look like a real flutz here, more like a flat to slightly inside edge. That’s what most girls at Worlds 2019 in the top ten had. If she could somehow get back to that old technique while keeping the flow in and out of the jump she has now, she could actually include two lutzes in her programs. Should we talk about layouts or is it too early? I need a distraction from all the drama. She could put the 3F+2T+2T in the second half of the program, it will increase BV a bit. And if she can, she could do a 2Lo on the end. But only if it‘s stable, or otherwise the low GOE might not make it worth it. Of course, if she added the 4S, it would be worth it even with a fall and UR. She could be doing three combos then. Something like this:
3Lz
3S+3Lo
2A
FCSp4
ChSq1
3Lo
2A+3Tx
3F+2T+2Lox
3Fx
FCCoSp4
StSq4
CCoSp4
If the Salchow doesn‘t work out. BV: 63.61
4S<
2A+3Lo
3F+Eu+3S
FCSp4
ChSq1
3Lz
2A+3Tx
3Fx
3Lox
FCCoSp4
StSq4
CCoSp4
With the Salchow. I included an UR on the quad because it‘s likely she won‘t land it the first few attempts. BV: 67.55
So, the difference here is obvious. A quad can do a lot, because it allows you to attempt three 3-3 combinations. I think Zhenya could do a beautiful +Eu+3S combination. I chose the flip because it seemed like the easiest jump for her to put that combo on. I don‘t think we‘ll see a layout like that any time soon. It will likely take some time to develop the quad first, then the Euler combo. But I was just thinking about what might be possible in the lead up to Beijing. If she stays healthy of course.

I used this to work out the BV. I‘m sorry if I did something wrongly, Maths isn‘t my strength.
