Wow! Did she say if she had an idea of incorporating it, at least in her Free where it would make such a difference? Of course I hope that she can have it in her Short Program too!
That is a very good question. IIRC she already said two seasons ago she wanted to try it in competition, and had already been attempting it in practice for a while before that. I think it was when she was coached by Agnes Z. However that didn´t happen. Sometime after Worlds that year she was injured for a little bit, so I guess between that and changing club and coaches she went back on that goal for a bit until the right time and adjustment were made.
I think she said in the interview after her free at Euros that her plan forwards is to work on her technical layout in her programs? So I do think she is going to add on her BV a little more. She also has posted more then once the last weeks doing 2A-eu-3F combo, so my guess is she might already try it next week at Sonja Henie Trophy instead of the 2A-eu-3S. I think she specifically has mention she wants to add one more flip in her free, so I think that might be the combination.
She does usually start her FS with 3Lz-2T combo now, so it seems it could have been intentional to add 3Lz-3T later. Maybe she will both try 3Lz-3T and 2A-eu-3F next week?
She could possible also try the 3Lz-3T in her SP next week at Sonja Henie Trophy, but if she is not planning to do it at Worlds and rather have the 3T-3T instead, I don´t think she will change up the layout so shortly before Worlds before changing it back again. Might be safer to try it in the free.
There is going to be a free livestream for Sonja Henie Trophy next week, so I will be watching it
Congratz! That also gives her some good ranking points on the way.
What a huge accomplishment. Not just that, she is making history for Norway as the first Norwegian skater to take a Challenger medal.
