it's another thing about conserving energy for when it matters, but this depends on the athlete too. this is evident in gymnastics too, i don't know how many times i've read from an olympic gymnast just how tired they were by the end of the competition. i couldn't even imagine what competing at the olympics feels like in this regard. competing in general is 90% mental (really the entire sport is). Obviously i have never been an olympic athlete, but i can relate to how tiring and mentally exhausting competing is, and that is why some people think the team event can tire an athlete out. the amount of work she has done to even get back to the level she is at today is insurmountable and goes to show just how difficult skating is and the incredible high level of fitness these athletes have. there are a lot of factors that go into that alone- take Gracie Gold as an example. if you stop skating for a month or two, gain weight and lose shape it's gonna be really damn hard to get it back. if you don't do any for a month it's gonna take longer. your body won't be as automatic and it might take a day or two. if you don't do any for a week, you're gonna feel it when you go try one. as i said earlier, skating is all about muscle memory. did they completely stop skating? did they completely stop exercising/any sort of physical activity? did they still maintain some sort of fitness level or keep skating without doing that jump (and doing other jumps?) i have never tried a triple axel in my life so i am speaking more generally, but if you want to keep doing that jump in your sleep then after you gain consistency with that jump, you need to be doing several everyday. To answer your other questions, i'd say it depends on a lot of factors on how long it takes to lose a jump.

IMO if you're not pushing the full runthroughs in practice everyday you're setting yourself up for failure in competition. it's a completely different thing than doing jumps by themselves in practice. and it's not really a matter of remembering your program, but training your jumps in the program and building stamina. an 'off' performance to them might look like an amazing one to us. a lot of times even when her skaters are off, they're still not falling or making major mistakes. you go on auto pilot, your body just knows what to do. skating is all about consistency and muscle memory and the only way you're going to be able to perform when the pressure is on is muscle memory. i'd imagine they do a lot of jump consistency drills too. I think the reason Eteri's girls are so good and consistent is because of how many runthroughs they do everyday. at practice ice many skaters won't do a full runthrough to conserve energy for the competition.

Why do people say that the team event tires the skater out? Isn't that performance just like a run through before the individual event? Like a trial test? Wouldn't you be practicing anyway even if you didn't do the team event so why would you be more tired?ДЄnyways please don't take offense! These are things I genuinely want to know and these questions have been swimming around in my head for a while!!!!ДЄs for your first question, i guess it depends if you are referring to at competition practice ice or normal daily training. Do I need to jump it everyday? If I don't jump it for a week or month do I have no 3A? As in if I stopped for a month and then tried to do a 3A, would I crash? How long do you stop jumping before you lose a jump? What do you do (as in how do you train) if you don't do run throughs? I've always thought it was fairly rational to just skate your entire routine like you would in competition. If you don't do a run through how will you remember your routine or know whether you can do with full thing with all the jumps? Now bear with me because I have close to zero realistic skating knowledge. So often I read about people complaining that certain skaters from a certain school have to do many run throughs and that it's punishing on their bodies etc
