Maybe that’s why her success rate of landing it in competition is not particularly high? Relying only on speed rotation may work during practice, but in competitions, with a bit of adrenaline in her body and things may not work the same way.
A few months back we were discussing here whether it is more important to jump higher or rotate faster. (Or both). If you look at the interview of Trusova’s coach, they started doing the quads because her jumps were quite high. So the height of the jump does matter!
i'll say that her success rate at landing 3A in competitions is exceptionally high in comparison to other ladies. she has more problems with skating the rest of the program, than with 3A itself.
i believe that the jumps with lower height and higher rotation speed are more consistent in general. take someone like kolyada, his 4Lz is unbelievably high , but success rate in landing is about 10-15%
on the other hand nathan chen's 4Lz are amongst the lowest in height, it only depends on the rotation speed, but nathan lands his 4Lz consistently
