Without exception Denise Biellmann did the defintive spin that now bears her name. Of course she did not invent the spin but did make it popular. Her spin was more athletic than one sees now. However, frankly I am tired of seeing the ladies copy one another or trying to outdo one another with this spin. I would love to see a text book camel spin equal to the famous "Hamill " Camel (Dorothy Hamill) or Karen Magnussen classic.
Unfortunatley there is no footage of Karen Magnussen available, but here is Dorothy Hamill skating at the 1976 Olympics (which she won):
By the way this was covered by Debbie Wilkes and the late Johnny Esaw of CTV in 1976:
