Axel, Lutz, Flip, Loop, Salchow, Toe loop--Who was the best at each triple?
A lot of skaters have performed each of the triple jumps over the years. Which skater did you like the most for each jump? Why?
Here's my list:
Triple Axel
(Men) 1. A.Yagudin (amazing height) 2. I.Kulik 3. E.Stojko
(Women) 1. M.Ito (awesome) 2. T.Harding (she's the only other one, and hers was pretty good too)
