Ok I need to clarify thigs a bit, the picture above is not called a chinese spiral, it's called a catch-foot, or beilman spiral. And there is no such thing as a "
quint axel", the hardest jump in
figure skating is the quad axel, never landed in competition, but it is still possible. And I heard all of you talking about how difficult and dangerous figure skating is, but you failed to mention
the grace and beauty of the sport.
"Here it comes, the triple
lutz, this one's big,..., wow! She landed that so
beautifly and gracefully, that
take-off was absolutely esquisette, and her height was amazing. She just proved herself to the judges as a TRUE figure skater"
