“Triple lutz and triple flip having the same base value is so unfair. It punishes skaters with a correct lutz who lose points in base value and helps flutzers who avoid performing lutz in their programs. I was shocked when Bianchetti, the chairman of the technical committee, said that the technique of lutz and flip is the same. The lutz is the only counterrotational jump. How can it be the same as the flip??”
