isnt it some other positions also called ina bauer, or when we say ina bauer we mean only the layback one?
unless you want to see the room upside down for one last timeBottom line -- don't try this at home.

Spread Eagle

If you're familiar with ballet terminology, the spread eagle is the legs in 2nd position, and the Ina Bauer in 4th position
fun?who 's laughing?
I see we both work hard...
Peggy used to do a spread eagle into a 2 A and right back to spread eagle.
Is a "spread eagle" what we ancient one's call an "Ina Bauer?" Or are they similar but done on different edges?
Peggy did this at 68 Natls , Olympics and Wolrds, all of which she won that year.
I think it is part gamesmanship - a pysche job - trying to get any advantage possible over rivals. I can't think of any other worthwhile reason to keep music selections secret until the start of a new season.
Like nylynnr said, some of this stuff - coaching changes and music may be more important to many of the fans than it is to skaters. Somwhere in a rink Rachael may be skating right now and she is not aware that Caro K has just left her coach. She may not hear for a few days or even a week depending on her schedule, and how busy she is right now.
And why would Flatt be concerned with Caro K's move to a new coach? :scratch: Yes, they have both utilized Nichol for choreo, but Flatt lives in Colorado. Is Caro planning on moving to the US?
Shizuka's Ina Bauer is so astonishing that someone posted a video a while back where she was studied by a team of medical researchers to see how she can possibly do it.
They put little electrical thingies all over her and did a computer analyis. The conclusion was that she actually had some sort on anatomical anomaly in the vertabrae of her lower back.
Bottom line -- don't try this at home.
I would guess by keeping the music a secret, the skater creates more anticipation among us fans! [B(]Also, you don't release the soundtrack before the movie is in the theater...)[/B]
I for one do not hope Yuna and Mao have chosen the same music
