Yuna could have done a 4Lz+4T and still have gotten the silver. Sochi is a memory most don't want to think about. That was not a competition but a skating show showcasing national pride of Russia. The only good thing that came out of the competition was Yulia's performances. Sucks that Yuna's last performances were done at a scam event.
If she only had 4 different kinds of triples to work with, then 6 is the maximum number of triples she could legally include. Only 2 different kinds can be repeated.
No. Between all the triples and quads, skaters are only allowed to repeat two of them. Zakay rule.I think she could repeat all of her 4 triples, no? For instance:
3Lz-3T
3F
3S-2T-2Lo or 3F-2T-2Lo
3F-3T or 3S-3T
3S
3Lz
2A
So, she could even have 8 triple jumps.

Thank you. I did not know. So she did the maximum! Love you, Yuna!
What about the doubles? Yuna had three 2 axels in her 2010 Olympics FS.
Rules changed after to limit it to two. And later, they expanded it to limit all doubles to 2 maximum. (Mao and Miki used to do something like 5 or 6 +2Los per program.) At the time, the max 2A limit was three, and she used it to replace the 3Lo. The changed limit is probably why they dropped the 2A+3T, because she was stuck needing to fill another jumping pass.
Really, the rule changes after Vancouver were designed to hinder skaters like Yuna and Evan, who would rely on quality and huge GOEs. I don’t really disagree; while Yuna was awesome, I didn’t think it was fair for her four, five, six-triples skate to be able to stomp Mao landing as many triples with two 3As. GOE factors were introduced to shift importance to base value, although apparently now they want to go the other way again.
Leaving aside the 2Lz in combo that she could’ve done, her 2013/2014 content was as high as she could realistically do under the rules.
Not one ladies OGMist under COP has won without winning TES. Artistry can carry you to wins almost everywhere except the Olympics.
Hmm, but the quality of Yuna's jumps are amazing! Much better than Mao's. Sorry. Yes, Mao could do 3A as a single jump and 3A in combo. She could do all of the 6 triples and have 8 triples in the FS. Yet Yuna's technique is much superior than Mao's.
Hmm... I am wondering, is it possible to include 5 different triples in a program and to repeat only one of them?
Once again, my thread is not about the 2A. In fact, she had three (!!!) 2A in her Olympics 2010 FS program. She repeated that jump three times.
My thread is about the reasons why she did not have triple-double-double like many other ladies. Carolina did 3S-2T-2T in Olympics 2014. Yuna did again 2A-2T-2Lo.
Yuna is my favourite skater. High expectations.
It doesn't make any difference to do to 2Axels alone and a 3-2-2 or a 2A-2-2 a solo 2A and a solo 3, the total max GOE and of course the BV don't change. To maximise GOE she should have had as few doubles not in combo with a triple as possible, so technically doing a 3Lz-2T, 3S-2T-2Lo and 2A-3T would have been the best option for her (and also easier), but there is this legend that 3-3s are important for PCS, so I don't know. All things considered I think she made the right choices, except maybe the 3S-2T in the 2nd half like in Les Mis. It's not her fault the judging was what it was, and just saying but IMHO the most controversial result was the SP, even more than the FS
Yuna was great for her time, and nobody was challenging her technical content. Things can be different if she didn't retire.
Evgenia ist doing 2A-2T-2T
You know it's the off season when golden skate is back to rehashing the same arguments about Yuna.
