Carolina landed solo Triple Lutz in Italian Championships Free Skate with small negative GOE IIRC.
Thanks I didn't know that!

I really liked her SP the first time I saw it, but after repeat viewings it fell flat for me because I started to really notice all the empty choreography and two footed skating. The sass captured my interest the first time around but after that it started to feel cheesy.

good news... I like to see Caro on the podium and with lutz she can make it happen
It is a strange concept...as I don't think we've seen this kind of dominance in sometime. Even with Yuna Kim, there was always Mao Asada to shake things up -- not mention a mix of players for the bronze. And even Michelle Kwan didn't win everything either internationally -- her long tenure is what allowed her to rack up those World titles. and she only won back-to-back titles once
I was going to even say Katarina Witt in the late 80s could be an example, but even then you had the likes of Debi Thomas playing spoiler. This streak of winning, in my opinion is pretty unheard of in Ladies, IMO.
She attempted, but after a flawed landing on 3F she actually did 3F+2T.At Nordics, beginning of March, she did a 3f3T in SP, which was not perfect
No, she did 2A+1Lo+3S combinaton.and a sequence 2A3T2T
Caro goes to Worlds to do her best or even more if possible, as any other skater.Others must win and earn spots for their Nations, Caro (unfortunately for us) not.
She did 3F2T in SPAt Nordics, beginning of March, she did a 3f3T in SP, which was not perfect, and she improved in the spins.
In the FP she did a 3T3T and a sequence 2A3T2T, in general she skated better than at Euros. In a photo she recently posted on her FB page, she seemed to be trying the Lutz. So we will see.
The big pro for Caro this year, is that she's not expected to win, or even being on the podium. If she manages to keep calm, confident and simply happy to be again in the competition, she can skate well, quite well. Others must win and earn spots

I have a question, as I am not very good with everyone's BV. Anna doesn't really have the favors of the judges, so if she and Kaetlyn Osmond go clean, I'm pretty sure Kaetlyn would beat her.
Do Karen Chen and Mai Mihara have a BV that could push them above Anna?
No, neither of them really do. In the SP Mai could move slightly ahead in BV if she got her step sequence to level 4, but she's been hitting level 3 all season. She does have a more difficult solo jump (3F versus Anna's 3L) but the difference in base value isn't much between a flip and a loop. Karen has the same SP content as Anna but she doesn't always max her levels either which leaves points on the table.
Anna usually earns all level 4s on her non-jump elements which helps, plus she has a sizable lead in PCS over both Karen and Mai. Even if those two could best her by a bit in TES the PCS gap would be too wide for them to catch her.

I have posted this in a few threads, but I figured this would be good to add to this conversation, since I've seen some posts about her "2 foot skating"
Here is Ashley training her short program on 3/22/17
