I am very curious about jumps' points. When my skater finished all doubles and worked on triples, I was looking back at her journey. She landed her 2Lo shortly after her axel. It seemed so easy. Based on what she said, 2F and 2Lz are similar to 2Lo. Then she started landing them. Her first 2S came after that. But it took her very long time to get 2S consistent. 2T seems so hard for her that she even landed her 2A before it. Yes, 2T tortured her for years. She almost gave up and thought she will never make it. Eventually, she got it.
So when I look into the jumps' base value in competition, I really get confused. The easy ones for her, 2Lo, 2F, 2 Lz are 1.70, 1.80 and 2.10. The hard ones for her, 2S and 2T, are only 1.30!!! Especially 2T!!! Isn't it the hardest one? Are the base values decided by difficulty or anything else? If the base values are so different, do some skaters pick which jumps to learn first for competition purpose?
