Savoie is probably the best in that regard of the recent crop, especially given that spinning in general is a lost art the last few decades.

I also think Eldredge, Scott Davis, and Ilya Kulik had/have excellent camels. But among the current crop of eligibles, I'd be hard pressed to come up with anyone all that impressive.

Yes. There is Savoie but who else has the classic spin?

I'm not sure I've seen a camel spin that I would consider "classic" since about 1982..... :sheesh:

I will, say, tho, that I think SIT spins have gotten much better over the last several years; these people are finally learning to GET THEIR BUTTS LOW as opposed to bending down about half a foot and thinking that's a sitspin.

Shawn Sawyer has excellent extension on his spins, camel included. Needs more speed and a lower sit spin though.

I think Alissa Czisny could be the first american that could be known for her spinning, if she chooses to. Good spinning doesn't usually equal an olympic medal, sadly.
I think Alissa is already America's great spinner. But oh, those jumps.:cry: I'm looking forward to the GPs with jumps not a problem.
