I agree with this. Michelle does not have the same natural flexibility in her back that a skater like Sasha does. Michelle has said herself that she had to work and work and work on flexibility exercises in order to get a good spiral position like Nicole Bobek. Her compromise is the dropped leg position, which allows her to get more arch in her back and also improve her speed.SusanBeth said:Attitude. Sarah's layback is my favorite.
Michelle's dropped leg layback looks best for her.
