On a related note, is this a triple axel catch or a quad twist from an axel entry? Looks like a triple to me, but still a move from Cherkasova:
I wish they would bring these back.
Really? This is one move I don't miss. It's so hard to do a proper catch or land on one foot, it just looks like a recipe for disaster under CoP scoring.

Best LP ever from Sasha Cohen:

I know some people criticize this version of Swan Lake choreographed by Robin Wagner (I don't agree with those people; it's still a good program, albeit totally different from the original one), but you can't deny that this performance is simply fantastic. Every jump, spin, the spirals--down to the fingertips at the exact correct moment of music, the expression, the ease of it. She still makes me excited about skating.

Didn't Brasseur and Eissler do this at some point? I think they had a triple axel catch planned in their 94 Worlds LP but because of her ribs they left it out and did a single.
Kitty and Peter Carruthers and Underhill and Martini did them. I bet Floskate can name some more.The move planned was a triple lateral twist. The only other couple I can think of that did a lateral twist was Eltsova & Bushkov in their long program at Nagano. That was only a single (or was it a double ) as well. Someone else has to have done this move over the years, right?
Lisa Marie-Allen, then 37 years old, competes at the 1997 US Open Professional championships with pretty much the same content she had 20 years earlier!!!

I love Lisa Marie's skating here! She was my favorite lady skater of her era.
Me too, skatesindreams. There were a couple of years that I was as to why she didn't win over Fratianne.
Certainly 1978 US Nationals. She was on fire that season and while she only had one triple there was sooooooo so much more to her than just that. She was woefully undermarked at 1978 Worlds. Robin Cousins actually went on record stating that she should have been the clear winner of the SP and LP there. Love Lisa Marie Her 1978 Worlds LP would be in my top 20 LP's of all time
And because I can, here she is back then too!!
