She can actually do a front aerial with perhaps deductions on flexed feet and bent knee. I get that some may think Onodi is reserved for flexible gymnasts, but there’s no incentive for her to change if the code of point doesn’t allow judges to take body shape deduction on Onodi.
 
I agree she should take out the sideways straddle jump instead. There are more deductions on this skill than just counting the wolf jump.
 
What direction did you think they would take her? They probably would throw away problematic skills that are not consistent (e.g. mount) or replace them by something else.
 
My point was more that she’s still doing all of her skills the same way, but there are just way less of them. The flight series in particular was usually solid, so it’s bizarre that they truncated it rather than remove skills like the “Onodi” and the problematic jumps. They aren’t ever going to be able to undo the rubbish coaching, but they’ve gotten her into the 14s on floor, which puts her among the best in the world there. The beam strategy just doesn’t seem clear to me yet.
