What's the difference between "tano jump" and "rippon jump"? I know both of them has to do something with your arms over the head in jumps. And where do the names come from? Sorry if this has been explained earlier or somewhere else.
He was so amazing! so manly... aww...such a pity at the time I was too young to acknowledge anything.Below is a link for Brian Boitano's short program from the 1988 Olympics; the tano lutz comes around 0.43-0.45. And the height he gets on the death drop @ 2.00-2.01...!

In case you haven't seen it, here's a whole thread about "tano" jumps and whether they should be limited in programs:

Do judges apply GOE marks while the skater is performing his/her routine or during the replays following the skate?
Yeah, actually that thread was the reason why I wanted to know the difference between those two positions! I understood only some part of the discussion so I wanted to learn more. Excellent figure skating trivia And thanks for the link, what a great program! The flying spin jump was huge!
Judges put in their score as the elements come up on the screen, which is about a 10 second delay after the skaters do the element. If there is a <, << or e added to the element after the program is finished they have about 30 seconds to fix their scores then.
This may not be especially stupid, but I was wondering about World Championship ticket prices and general info. I want to go in 2016 in Boston (very far away, I know) but I would like to know what I'm to expect. I searched for info about Worlds but got only bits of information. I was wondering when is the earliest they usually will be put up for sale? ...
Does anyone know when to expect the 2016 world championship ticket packages to be made available for purchase?
What was the reason Canada didn't send any ladies skaters to the Nagano Olympics? Did they not qualify for even one entry?
WD counts as "skater didn't make it to the free skate" under the rules at the time. I assume Canada didn't end up qualifying any skaters due to that rule.Well a quick glance at the 1997 World Championships shows that the only Lady they sent had to withdraw so they may not have qualified for an entry. Not sure exactly what is done in that type of situation in terms of getting a spot back. I am not sure what is/was needed for a single spot.
Sure there were Joannie and Liz with podium finishes at Olympic and world competition, but no world or Olympic champions since Barbara ann Scott...
