"That Time I Broke My Nose Trying to do a Triple Twist

[barbk]

Great article by former US junior competitor Archie Tse, with some great photos showing twist from the leading teams in the Olympics SP. The one of S/M is wonderful.

I'm assuming this is the video that @skateboy posted - couldn't watch it in Canada.

Great to hear a little bit from Archie Tse, and those accompanying pictures are really neat too.

Wow all those photos. It gives the impression that the guys just kind of stand there while waiting for the women to do their thing. But the photo of Aliona and Bruno is the best. Also really shows the muscles in her arms.

I did like with the replays of the event where they did the frame by frame of the twists and jumps. You got a great impression about how big and long they were.

This is one element where seeing it live done by top skaters gives you a whole different sense of magnitude.
