Judging by the pratice rounds she will only do the 4Lz and 4T+3T and 4T+Eu+3S.
She is replacing her 4F with a 2A. With a GOE+3 that means she is lowering her scoring potential with 10.01 points.
If this is the layout, I think it's the right way to go. I suspect her other elements will be much better with less quads in the program.
That layout won't cut it against Kostornaya and Shcherbakova's know and proven FP scores.
If Aleksandra wants to compete for anything higher than Bronze, she must compete maximum difficulty she is capable of. Unless, she jumps the triksel twice, like Alyona ... If she messes up (again), she might still end up being at the mercy of the coaching council in the run up to World Championships.
Tomorrow's practice runs will be interesting, but still might not give a clear indication of the plan for Aleksandra.
I really do wish for her to succeed and be content over the delivery of her routine.
