You have GOT to see this picture...unless you've already

seen it!!!! Gives a new meaning to "contortionistic" spirals!!!

Take a look at the audience's faces right in front of her. And note the young girl in the pink with her head back as if to say..."I can't believe this is figure skating".:rollin:

I'm trying to post more so I can get the "on the ice" out from under my name. It's starting to get cold out here on my own.:smokin:

Re: You have GOT to see this picture...unless you've already

Some photos were made for captions.

-- "I...just...can't...reach...that...itch!"

-- Feeling that figure skating was becoming too much of a "jump-fest," the ISU recently began requiring skaters to perform at least two upside-down backward "semaphore signal" moves during each short program.

-- Disney's "Yoga On Ice" tour wasn't the hit they were hoping it would be.

-- "Somebody call my chiropractor! I'm stuck in this position and I can't get out of it!"

-- "Gimme a Y!"

I'd be more impressed if she was doing that without holding herself up by wrapping her arm around her leg.

I'd like to see someone

do that in person...LOL!

It's Kim Ryan, Red Dog.

And spirit, please quit...I've got tears rolling down my face from laughing so hard...:rollin:

Especially the "Give me a Y"...omg!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my God! The first thing that comes to my mind is one of those "Summer's Eve" commercials..."Do you ever feel, you know, not so fresh?" LOLOL

That's not Sasha C? Wow, someone else is doing that spiral, cool...Kasey

[c]Sasha Cohen and Laurent Tobel also do that move, sans the arm wrapped around the leg. I wonder what else this Ryan girl can do. (I've only seen stills of her, not film footage). Meanwhile, if anyone is interested in seeing an extremely weird picture of Olev Ovsiannikov in which he appears to have three arms, click on the little box below:

weird...

This spiral

Nicole Bobek and Michelle Kwan also have done this move. Michelle's version doesn't have the back position that Nicole or Sasha do.

I think it looks more difficult with the arm wrapped around the leg. Seems to me having two arms to gain your balance is better than just one.

But does it look like the crowd enjoys being flashed?:rollin:

Re: This spiral

I think we need to rename the sport from figure skating to "figure it out skating"....my back hurts just looking at her..42

rgirl181 · Mar 22, 2003

Re: This spiral

Now remember folks, she is moving while she's in this position, as in skating across the ice. So it's not like she's just lifting her leg and saying "HI EVERYBODY!" And for those born with the ability to do that kind of thing, it really doesn't hurt. Seeing somebody do lots and lots of 3/3s--that's what makes me go "Ouch!"

It is a funny picture, though. And Kasey, you just about read my mind:lol: What I got was, "Have you had your sprinkle today?"

I can't wait for this girl to be on TV so we can hear what Dick and Peggy have to say!

Re: This spiral

Rgirl181, you should start another contest to name this move. I see the Beaver Cleaver has become popular on other boards. Couldn't stop laughing when I read the BC on another board.:lol: :lol:

Okay, I must know the story behind the BC move.

It doesn't involve anyone named "Witt," does it?

That's some bend!
