Ladies and Gentlemen.....I'm sure you all are very familiar with most, of not all, of the topics included in this glossory. I thought you would enjoy scanning thru the list, viewing the excellent photos, etc. Enjoy!

Just love those spirals!!!

Just wanted to say I was glad the face of the skater doing the leg wrap was blurred in the photo so that we cannot easily identify the skater. There's no need to embarrass anybody!

I know who it is. I'd recognize that "Capriccio Espagnol" dress from anywhere..

Well, I think I recognized the skater, too, but I'm still glad the face was blurred. No need to identify the skater, IMHO.

Me, too!! I wondered what in the world that move was called. Annet Poetsch of East Germany included that move in some of her programs, and I always expected her to fall flat on her back. Amazingly, she always held the position and continued on with her routine.

Just found a photograph of Annet Poetszch performing a cantilever during her competitive days. How in the world she managed to achieve and hold that position and not fall on her back is truly amazing. Wow, talk about a balancing act.

Looks like I already commented on this! Oh, well.
