I think it was the only time where I've heard or seen a skater do a triple One-Foot Salchow, meaning, in this case, you land on the left foot, which allows you to immediately tap in with the right for the double flip.
@TripleAxel1996 The stipulated 2F always gave skaters trouble, especially when they couldn't consistently land a 3T as the 2nd jump (as was the case w/ Pocker)--because the only viable alternative is to do a 2F-2L, which won't give them high marks. This combo drew so much attention, but he didn't even land one in practice and changed it to a 2F-3T at 79 worlds, if I remember correctly.
Rest in peace, a wonderful skater.
