IIRC Michelle has said that she always had to work hard on her flexibility. For instance, she had to experiment with different kinds of layback positions because it was really hard for her to get enough arch in her back in the classic attitude position.Disagree that Sasha had the best spirals, but we can agree to disagree.
As for her spiral, it always seemed to me that the difference between Michelle's (and Nicole Bobek's) spiral position and Sasha's was that Michelle achieved her amplitude by rotating her hip. Sasha could bring her leg straight up and back, but at the cost of security and depth of edges.
Do you think that analysis is correct?
