Thanks!
Personally, I have a mixed feeling for the Biellman because I have re-occuring back issues from trying to learn it, but if anyone did it best I think Mao Asada and Yuna Kim. Yulia-if you want to pick the most flexible. Credit to Yuzuru for trying it, too.

I thought I was the only one to not find Lipnitskaya's Biellmann/Candle spin nice to look at. Maybe it's just a personal aesthetic thing but I don't like it, although I see why others would.
As for Biellmanns I do like, Mao and Elena from the current crop and I always liked Slutskaya's double Biellmann.

Far from it. People have been very vocal about their distaste for Julia and her spins ever since I can remember. Going into Sochi people around here called her gumby or the girl who puts her leg over her head. I'd say the only reason I began posting was because of all the negativity people were putting out in regards to her.
I've never tried to convince people to like her or her spins. To me it's their loss. I have made several pleas for respect. Not that I'm calling you out or anything....this is just for the sake of discussion.

That's cool. People shouldn't need to be convinced to like something but nor should it be considered someone's loss if they don't like it - I'm sure I like things that others don't in skating so it all balances out. As long as the distaste for an aspect of someone's skating doesn't get personally insulting, all is good! :thumbsup:

My peeve is the "look at how much I feel this music" thing that some skaters do. That's about the most I've ever posted on that. Fortunately and for the purpose of this thread....that would be pretty tough to do while performing a Biellman

I love Adelina's, Radionova's, and Mao's! Glorious. Also Irina's and of course Denise Biellmann herself. There's been a lot of discussion about Yulia's spin being a needle/Biellmann but if it qualifies as a Biellmann, it's also one of my favorites. Also I'll pretend Mao and Yulia's half-Biellmanns are real Biellmanns, so also those two. 
Maybe it's because I haven't been a fan as long as some of you, but I really really like Biellmanns. It's one of my favorite spin positions (next to Yuna's camel.)

I always loved Biellmann's herself.
I especially liked when she did the one arm grab first and switched it to two like here: https://youtu.be/lKYQxRteuis?t=4m06s
I've grown to not like them as much since so many people do it these days. It was more enjoyable when only a few people did it.

Yulia is in the league of her own - of course, she could replicate any position of any skater with ease - then it is just funny to see the critique of her especially when alternative lists contain just non-Russian names. Other 2 best Bielmans now are from Elena and Adelina.

Julia Lipnitskaya is Michael Jordan of spins, there will be no spinner like her in near future.
Phenomenal physical specimen and hard worker since childhood (she said once "three days without stretching and all [flexibility] is gone").

All girls in Russia try to imitate her I-spin, the closest ones being Proklova and Nugumanova imo.

Or Wilt Chamberlain since she's got that Guinness record. :yes:There is nothing wrong with being the Magic Johnson of spins is there? Is that taken?
Denise Biellmann may be Oscar Robertson of spins - the innovator and standard-setter.
Still... everybody wanna be like Mike.

My favorite Biellmann spin was Mao Asada's incredibly dramatic and beautiful one handed Biellmann with her hand held against her chest at the end of her Bells of Moscow LP.
