Alysa with a solid, dependble triple Axel will can be competitive on the world stage. She doesn't actually need the quad Lutz. Her main goal shouild be to work on her speed. That will increase her PCSs across the board.
Is it me or does it seem like Alysa has more speed going into that 3axel? I remember when she first won Nationals she literally was walking into the axel jump she was so slow back then. If she can improve her speed the big jump could come back but even without them she could win Nationals again.
I have love the duel Valieva / Liu at jgpf last year ! I hope that Alysa challenge the Eteri girl, it will make the competition much more exiting to see
