We are officially in the off season so I figured i'd lighten the mood. Who are your favorite Double Axel's by women? Here are mine though not necessarily in a particular order.
1- Oksana Baiul- Prior to her turning pro, her's was always great and I loved the pattern and snap she got on that jump.Later on, she stalked the jump big time but I actually liked it LOL.
2- Midori Ito- I don't really think this needs an explanation.I will say that I love how she was the one skater throughout time that turned a leg wrap into an effective jump technique. She actually used it to control the height and trajectory of the element which was amazing.
3- Michelle Kwan circa Riedell boots- Her Axel never lost speed and had a lot of height and flow.It was a hallmark of hers as a younger skater.
4- Anna Rechnio- It was textbook. The step through, speed and power were wonderful
