This is not exactly a snapshot. It's a scene from a movie, Lady Let's Dance (1944). I am posting this in honor of Joesitz, Golden Skate's first moderator and a mainstay of the forum for many years. This is Belita, Joe's favorite professional skater.

Here she has just finished her routine to Beethoven's Fifth Symphony in front of the Statue of Liberty. This famous show number featured seven Axels.

Does anyone have an animated gif of a 3f+3Lo or 3Lz+3Lo combination, by the way? I've found numerous gifs of 3F+3T and 3Lz+3T combinations (mainly Yuna's and Gracie's), some 3F+3Lo combos (mainly Mao's), but no 3Lz+3Lo combos. :confused:

This is not on the ice, but I thought these were nice pictures.

Those pictures are nice:)

It's off-topic, but can anyone translate this part from Adelina's interview? I think she's saying things about how Russia got two spots for Sochi...

О распределении мест на чемпионате мира в Лондоне

Я считаю, что все русские одиночницы заняли в Лондоне не те места, на которые катались. Судейство в этом смысле не отражает реального положения вещей. И я, и Алена, и Лиза достойны более высоких результатов.

В других видах, кроме ребят из нашей сборной, впечатлил Патрик Чан. То, как он откатал короткую, я не могу забыть до сих пор. Всегда импонировала Каролина Костнер. Ее катание женственное, мягкое, с красивыми линиями.

I just realized that I've amassed a small collection of relatively high-resolution photographs of skaters over the past month (Thank goodness for Google). Just wanted to share some of my favorites.

What are some of the favorites in your collection or memory? (They don't have to be on-ice photos either. Instagram's cool too. Heee.)

Spread the love! :) :love::agree:
