Anna's? Lutz has always been her best triple. It was also the triple she learned first.It's indeed interesting question - why 4Lz before 4T? 0_0 I can think only about two possible reasons:
1) she already did 4T but Daniil just didn't record it
2) she has some problems with it and they decided to try another jump with unexpected success. And Lutz most likely because Sasha already did it and inspired her to be maximally competitive
Btw, remind me what was her best triple until now? 3Lz?
Outside of that though, the triples aren't amazing. The Flip is okay but the edge is so-so. She also has sometimes struggled with fully rotating it. The salchow is extrordinarily tiny and the -3T is one she's underrotated and fallen on frequently. The loop has also been tiny but actually, her very last competition made me think that perhaps her Loop is her second-best triple after the Lutz. It suddenly stopped being tiny.
Then again, considering that she's done the 4T... I doubt it actually is that bad of a jump, either.
Ah, right. Lutz was certainly the plan, it wasn't something that was inspired by Sasha, I don't think. Back in early 2017, Daniil said that the two quads Anna had been working on are 4T and 4Lz.
