Unique skating moves

Lipnitskaya's spin should be added to the list- that's the first time I saw that on ice.

Which one? The I-spin? Or the Bielmann, because Anastasia Kononenko has done this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...ATUeEuXM#t=43s

Yes, I meant the biellmann, it's pretty cool. I've never seen anyone else do it, but I guess she's not the first one. Thank you for showing Kononenko. However, I think that what is so interesting about Lipnitskaya is that she doesn't just do the Biellman with perfect stretch but she also does it so quickly. The same is for the I-spin. I don't really like how she does the I-spin but it is SO FAST.

I don't know if it's a "unique" move, but I Ilia Kulik's cantilever move!

Aka: "candle" position jump

Here's to hoping one day I might actually see an upside down Biellmann performed ~ never give up hope!

I found something that might please you

One more thing, I noticed quite a few Russian Ladies do a weird type of Half-Biellmann, wherein they resemble Does, leastways Adelina Sotnikova does, at 1:50 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DGm_...eature=related (btw I love all the different & unique images she makes on the ice, simply by a bend of a knee or a twist of her arms)

I've seen Mao Asada do similar Biellmann spins. She's been doing a one-handed variation for a while, but I don't believe I've seen her do it like this until this season. I don't see how they resemble does though ... if by doe you mean a female deer?

The first time I saw a cantilever done, it was done by Frick & Frack in the Ice Capades, so no, it did not originate with Ilia Kulik. It is pretty cool though.

^ In that case, maybe I got to see them do it when I was a kid. My mom took us to the Ice Capades many times.

what about courtney hick's sit spin variation? i think it's already been being called the hicks spin. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PA0dBZnxfcs
