I wonder why most of the girls prefer to have a 3-2-2 or 3-1lo-3 as their 3 jumps combo rather than 2-2-2, while a 2-2-2 is more easy and give more GOEs.
What do you mean a 2-2-2 gives out more GOE?
.
Many posters said that it's easier to have higher GOEs on a 2-2-2 than 3-2-2.
Im a big fan of hers though be honest, Yuna would have benefited with choreography by Averbukh. So many of her programs were cheesy warhorse fests - also, the way she left so many points on the table compared to the contemporary group of Russian skaters (that effectively ended her career), she might have been better off going to Moscow for transition and jump training.
Sad to see so much of her potential locked up in conservative style and inability/unwillingness to adapt with her contemporaries
With only 4 triples she didn't have so much possibilities either. She tried to maximize her BV with what she was able to do i think.
Did she ever do a -2lo-2lo combo? It's so rare.
Ppl rag on Yuna for not having 3loop but Med doesn’t have 3lutz lol
Yuna was a great skater. The jumps she had, she did very well. I’m sure if she competed in this era of skating she would have done another +3t combo. She didn’t need it when she competed. I don’t know why posters feel the need to constantly tear down Yuna or analyze her 2-2-2 as if it’s bad that she did this combo( Med does 2-2-2 but there are no threads about her...) Off season really makes people bored huh...
That’s mean! [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
And in Yuna’s case it’s not like she couldn’t do it because of a lack of technical ability. There are videos of Yuna doing 3Lo in practice up until 2009 season and there was absolutely nothing wrong with them. She CHOSE not to put in her layout because of her health, because it was an option and it wasn’t worth it to do it just for the sakes of executing all triples(except 3A).
In Medvedeva’s case, she tries but... I don’t think I’ve ever seen a perfect lutz from her. And if she completely excludes 3Lz from her layout things would get tight for her so it’s not exactly an option. She is great though, no one is perfect.
But those ubers can be a little crazy when it comes to comparing two skaters (or in the case here, one skater to a whole group of skaters) who are not competing against each other and have totally different styles.
It’s probably better, for a skater with only 6 triples in the free, to just maintain one 3+3 instead of also training a 2A+3T. They’re going to need that 3+3 in the short program.
