About
The front triple full existed as a theoretical element for many years until Andrea Maldonado successfully landed it in qualification at the Cottbus World Cup in November 2019.

That no one has followed Maldonado’s lead in adding the front triple to her routine is testament to its difficulty and also to how ridiculous the F (0.6) value is for this element. If we’re supposed to believe that this is the same difficulty as the double layout, then why does everyone and her aunt Hortensia do a double layout, but no one does the front 3/1?
