Spirals and the Rules are well known. If the Rules would put Spirals in MIF where they belong, it would improve choreography.
That's now the case for the junior ladies' long program. What do you think of those?

Super! Now a choreographer can put a beautiful spiral in a program which bests fits the music and not worry about points. A beautiful spiral with good line is soooo much about ladies' figure skating and it enhances the program soooo much. Nothing wrong with the 'Open Fan' in another part of the program. The catch foot spiral, for me is just plain bleh, although it could be used for a character performance.That's now the case for the junior ladies' long program. What do you think of those?
Great video. She had it all - super technique - great line - superbflow, and non stop. Few skaters today can match that.Karen Magnussen of Canada - Olympic Silver Medalist and World Champion made this move very popular and in fact it was always a part of her programs as she was so good at it. Here is a video of her world championship program - 1973 - she elected to do a bauer into a flying sit spin in this program, but it is still fantastic. The footage is sort of grainy, but worth watching for the historic value.
