As demonstrated by these rhythmic gymnasts it is very possible. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhoZL9ycG4k&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Love it! And moving 'forward' on the spin it seems rather than backward!! I counted three turns. They got their momentum from their arm movements. Perhaps some very flexible skater with terrific spinning skills will come along who can pull it off.
This one gymnast does an upside down Bielmann. It's crazy. Not sure if this could be sustained on skates.

Exquisite! Maybe not possible but who knows? Skaters are doing moves today that weren't done in earlier eras. Who knows what skaters will be capable of in the decades to come?
