To be fair, those 11 y/o girls are relatively recent phenomena. Probably no one has reached puberty yet.
Most 11yr olds haven't. What is the point here?

Why not? I think some men already leap that high on their death drops.Can this be done on ice? Maybe not the ladies but men? https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=803439213014184
As preceding comments pointed out that 7 triples did not beat the Queen. Korean judges and friends Cinq can make use of anonymous judge system. Obviously trend is simpler lovelier and prettier.

Huh do you have a link for that? I wonder how the Russians do their math. I haven't seen any ladies' 2A's that are remotely close to the height of Mao's 3A. Although some of the numbers may change when I do a more detailed analysis, using air time as a proxy for height, for the Olympic FS so far it looks like Mao's 3A is around 17/25 = 0.68 seconds (counting number of frames in the air from a video running at 25 FPS), while Adelina's was 14/25 = 0.56 seconds. Adelina's, Yuna's, and Carolina's 3Lz's (the first jump of the program) were all about 15/25 = 0.60 seconds, by comparison. Mao's SP 3A where she fell was around 33/50 = 0.66 seconds, to give you an idea of how much height (or rotation, etc.) she has.
Granted, Mao's own 2A later in the program was also 14/25 = 0.56 seconds, so it's certainly possible that if Adelina puts a 3A (or 2A) at the beginning of her program it will have similar height as Mao's 3A, seeing as how their 2A's in the middle of the program had pretty much the same height (Yuna's and Carolina's were smaller). But that's significantly different than saying that Adelina's 2A in the middle of her program was higher than Mao's 3A at the top of hers.
Yes I've read that a 3A is not necessarily higher than a 2A (the additional revolution comes from getting into the rotation position earlier as well as having a tighter position -- Mao's rotation speed in her 3A is slightly faster than Yulia's in her 3Lz IIRC), but it seems like for the ladies so far this holds up; Mao's 3A is simply higher than any other jump in the Olympics that I've measured so far.
Some people say they want the artistry to dominate so I think even 5 triple program is enough for them. As for me, I want more jumps but not too many or else those jumps would ruin the other elements.
Mao did 3axel but she never forgot the artistic part. She one of the most artistic figure skaters, so that is not excuse.
Those girls who could do 3Lz-3T at the age of 11 have not reached puberty yet. So the general tendency is unknown. I estimate more than 30 ladies can do 3Lz-3 or 3F-3 worldwide. This number is close (a little less) to men's quad jumpers.
depends on how you call a 3lz-3t... the quality and consistency.. and of course the severe edge call on the lutz and the under-rotated 3 toe.. but then again.. if you have judges at the tech panel that will overlook the proper technique.. who really cares..
Was Midori Ito really quick in the air? (I just find it hard to believe because of the leg wrap). It seemed like she just jumped so high--higher than 95% of the men in the field--that it really didn't matter what her rotation/technique was.

Interesting analysis! Do you have a comparison of their flip jumps (for Adelina, Yuna, Mao and Carolina).
It's not just the other day, it's like a repetitive ad you see on tivi every time you turn it on. you know, beating a dead horse. Very boring and it's already worn-out.Lol. You just posted this exact sentiment the other day. How many ways can you reword it?
