The Biellmann is so done to death now that I'm not even sure one could refer to it as an "irregular" move anymore (it had much more impact back in the days when it was).

But I agree with Vash that the best Biellmann was by Denise herself, tho I have to admit that Surya Bonaly on a couple of occasions came pretty close, IMO.

All my favorites are listed, so I'll name the one and only "skating" move that made my boyfriend sit up and take notice. In the Olympic version of Dubreil and Lauzon's OD, when Marie-France goes up into the standing "figurehead" lift is when she also slipped her hands and arms through the white strips of her halter top, causing it to slide off her chest, around her shoulders, and onto her back, leaving the gold sequined and beaded halter top as the chest piece.

Well, for just a moment when she does this, both my boyfriend (Rman) and I thought, "Whoa! This is one hot ice dance!" because at first you don't notice that the gold halter is underneath. Neither Rman or I said anything right when Marie-France did "the move" (I think my jaw dropped), and just before I was about to say something, Rman said, "Now she's really talented!"

They changed when Marie-France did "the move" for Worlds, but from now until forever, Rman will appreciate the glorious talents of Marie-France Dubreil. :love:

Forgot Shawn Sawyer's "tilted Y spin" with both hands behind his back.
I don't know if this counts, but speed. Ilia Kulik and Irina really do it for me, especially Kulik. Two strokes, he's halfway across the ice, I'm done for.
