Remember when she said she couldn't do triple triple triples like Med in her Golden Skate interview? Challenge accepted!
And that 2A - 1/2Lo - 3F combo after this one.
Me too! I am in raptures with that 3A cascade sequence!
Only other woman that I've ever seen do a 3A-3T (not in a cascade combo) was the Legend, the 3AEmpress Herself Midori Ito in this 1992 Olympic practice video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQgR0cBsK4Y
It would need to be a:
Colledge-2S-1/2Lp-3F
Colledge = 1A with a landing on the same foot as takeoff ... @Coco I am certain you are thinking of Trenary's Colledge-3S ...
Brian Orser used to do a 2salchow that landed on the take off foot. A triple flip or a second salchow jump could be done immediately after this. I'm not sure what value of 1 foot double salchow would have but it would be a cool combination.
No, I know what I'm talking about.
"Not allowed," but the first three jumps would count, and the fourth could be considered a "creative exit" for purposes of GOE.
No I don't think Evgenia did it just because she could, but she practices her long programme pretty much doing triple toes after every single jump she does so that if, for whatever reason, she doesn't do the combos where they are scheduled she knows that she can add it to pretty much any other triple jump she does. I think she had a brain fart moment...or the downside of training muscle memory doing triple toes after everything is that sometimes you do it and it can't count
I'm loving Mirai's progress in the off season and into the start of the season but I've got to PMSL that she's trying the 3A in both SP and LP and the fans are now calling for 2 3As in the LP.
That in itself is an incredibly daunting/intimidating task, and it might not happen right away, even though she has the potential to do it. Or, she might land what looks like a good one to us, and get dinged on the rotation of it. I will admit that i'm nervous in particular about the short. But if (hopefully when) she does eventually land one, her agent needs to work on getting her a ticket to the premiere of I, Tonya.
I can see your point, but I definitely want Mirai to make the GPF, if she can, because psychologically, for her, I think this could be a brilliant and compelling statement heading into Nationals in the Olympic season. Injuries are always a concern, though. I hope and pray Mirai stays healthy, healthy, healthy!! As Dick Button advised Yuzuru, don’t overtrain. Ditto for Mirai.
I would be beyond thrilled if she made the GPF but something in me says, Don’t ask too much. I dont want her to be burdened by other people’s expectations. I think her main goal is just to get back to the Olympics (and maybe also reclaim her national title). It might be better for her psychologically to stay under the radar... like in 2010 in Vancouver.
It could be, actually, but I think Mirai is enjoying this (most recent) spotlight, and if she can build on it, more power to her! Obviously, this being her fan thread, we all want her to succeed, so I say whatever makes her the most comfortable or however she gets there -- just get there! We want this for HER!! Go get it, girl!!!!
The name of the game!
I agree. Go Mirai! Confidence!
