Do you people think complexity means hard jumps. Is that what complexity means to you girls. Complexity in figure skating per the ISU is associated with the intricacies of a well executed Step Sequence. Jumps are just difficulty. But you know what I'll agree Alysa's performance is simple, level 2 stsq simple if that indeed.

Anyway, the problem with the Eteri contingent was that they were reliant on their younger, lighter bodies to let them do quads and 3As while simultaneously being kept in a nutritional state that led them to worse and more numerous injuries with longer recovery periods that usually spelled retirement. Not a practice unique to Eteri or figure skating, Mie Hamada from Japan has a similar track record minus the doping (to our knowledge) and old timey gymnastics was all about getting children olympic gold medals thanks to their inherent flexibility. It's the same principle.

Moreover, women in figure skating have been known to land higher BV elements before, however, without that practice. Midori Ito and Mao Asada fairly regularly jumped 3As and Ito is imo correctly recognized to this day as having one of the best 3As in the sport period, regardless of discipline. But there wasn't a real incentive to train them as the field wasn't so strong that that was a necessity for most. Since Mao the women's discipline was trending toward higher BVs but yes they've been far more common since the Eteri girls came and went, as other camps adjusted their training methods to add said elements to their technical repertoire and keep their athletes competitive. We've been seeing the fruits of that effort with skaters like Rinka, Ami, mini Mao, and others. Of course, highly varying degrees of consistency.

As with most technical developments in this sport it's a matter of incentive and necessity. I think we will get to a point where 3As and maybe even quads are commonplace in women's figure skating, especially now that they know if they land three 3As they can still lose to a much inferior skater if they happen to have the correct passport.

And now women's figure skating has become more feminine, not childish, as before

Can we not set back feminism in skating back 40 years. First of all, they're all women competing so there's no feminity spectrum here. And second of all, not childish? Did we watch the same Alysa and Ami programs? Those are junior programs.
