That's wrong! They have their own fully choreographed musical! 😀

Four years seem pretty harsh for me, given that Valieva most certainly did not take the Trimetadizin on purpose (or knowingly) and Eteri Tutberize (and/ or the team doctor or other shady figures in the background) that surely play a role in this scharade go unpunished.

I almost find Irina‘s comment more interesting (if translated properly), not caring about Ilia‘s quad axel „because he is American“. For somebody who dominated the field quite some time, this shows some big ignorance in the developpment of her sport.

Congratulations! Nice to see her so happy! :)

Rest in peace, you will be missed.

I'm afraid her nomination would be in vain...

I was also wondering why you don't say "Rittberger" in the anglophone world but "loop jump".

It Why is this not a thing?

Wouldn't a toeless lutz be anything different than a Walley taken off from the wrong edge?

At least we know now what we are talking about! German English Oppacher inside axel Einwärtsaxel one-foot-axel

Wow, thank you! This is the first time I already saw this rare jump, wow! :40beers: Looks like an axel jumped backward for me.

As far a s I know, Swiss skater Nathalie Krieg invented the "Biellmann". It bears Biellmann's name, because she made it popular and it was her trademark element.

A little bit off topic, but does anyone happen to know what exactly the Oppacher (jump) is? Thanks!
