Ito has done 3Lz+3T. When did she do 3S-3T?
I can think of several others who have attempted three different kinds. Do you count them if the second jump was underrotated?
When we are talking about 3-3, I want to ask, why so few skaters do 3Lo-3T? Is it difficult to put 3T after Loop jump?
I'm not sure if it's been asked before...but how come in the Olympics they don't show the little box with the Leader and Current scores in it? They do it at Euros and Worlds, so why not the Olympics? I find it very useful, and it helps in knowing why so and so got a certain score rather than having it pop up in the Kiss and Cry and going :scratch:
Question about terminology:
Why is it called a Short Program and a Free Skate? I think I prefer the terminology Free Program or FP much better. What's the point in naming them this way?
that seems to be a new thing that started at Worlds 2014

No, the webcasting/broadcasting of 2013 Skate America had the new-fangled TES display, which was discussed on GS at the time.
IIRC, that was its first usage.
B.J.T., before Janet Lynn and Toller, we didn't have short programs. We had schools (compulsory figures) and the free skate (no compulsory moves). The short program was introduced sometime in the early 70s to reduce the effect of the compulsory figure on crowd pleasers and amazing "free skaters" such as Janet and Toller.

Does anyone know of any clips of Adam where he says his last name? I am tired of all the variations of how to pronounce it, and at this point I just want to hear it from his own lips.
Rippon saying his own name:
