I would like to know what are the criteria for judging ISU judges and assess the layback spins to level 4 .. you need to end the turn with biellman?
All Spins
1) Difficult variations (count as many times as performed with limitations specified below)
2) Change of foot executed by jump
3) Jump within a spin without changing feet
4) Difficult variation of flying entrance/Landing on the same foot as take-off or changing foot on landing in a Flying Sit Spin
5) Backward entrance
6) Clear change of edge in sit (only from backward inside to forward outside), camel, Layback and Biellmann position
7) All 3 basic positions on both feet
8) Both directions immediately following each other in sit or camel spin
9) Clear increase of speed in camel, sit, layback or Biellmann position
10) At least 8 rev. without changes in position/variation, foot or edge (camel, layback, difficult variation of any basic position or for combinations only non-basic position)
Additional features for the Layback spin:
11) One clear change of position backwards-sideways or reverse, at least 3 rev. in each position (counts also if the Layback spin is a part of any other spin)
12) Biellmann position after Layback spin (SP–after 8 revolutions in layback spin
1) good speed or acceleration during spin
2) ability to center a spin quickly
3) balanced rotations in all positions
4) clearly more than required number of revolutions
5) good position(s) (including height and air position in flying spins)
6) creativity and originality
7) good control throughout all phases
8) element matched to the musical structure
(GOE must be negative)
Fall -3
SP: Position in the air not attained (flying spin) -2 to -3
Touch down with both hands -2
(GOE reduced but not required to be negative if there are other positive qualities)
Less than required revolutions -1 to -2
Poor/awkward position(s), slow, traveling -1 to -3
Unaesthetic position(s) -1 to -3
FS: Pos. in the air not attained (flying spin/entry) -1 to -3
Change of foot poorly done (curve of entry, except when changing direction/
exit, moving to non-basic position. etc.) -1 to -3
Incorrect take-off or landing in a flying spin -1 to -2
Touch down with free foot or one hand -1
Who do you think makes the best layback? I think the best are Viktoria Helgesson an Akiko Suzuki! soooooooooo faster!
Viktoria Helgeson http://youtu.be/e9caBRBZyGM at 1:20 very very fast!
It is very fast indeed but to me it's not a layback spin but rather an upright spin with bent head and leg.
Layback quality:
Current: Alissa C, Caroline Z, Ashley W, Adelina S, Julia L
Past: Denise B, Peggy F, Sarah H, Angela N, Caryn K
To me, the most important aspect is the back position followed by the leg position.
Lucinda Ruh had a wonderful layback.
It has to get a level 4 and +3 GOE today...
Ditto for Nathalie Krieg, BTW.
Definitely. I'm still waiting to see someone do this. No one is doing this version of a catchfoot/Biellmann. I would take someone with an extremely flexible back but, off the top of my head, Mirai or Julia could pull this off without any trouble. Of course, speed is a key factor in all of Krieg's spins...she was a blur!

I'm very confused why more people weren't using the re-introduced "clear increase of speed" level feature for their Layback this past season. Yu-Na in particular used to do that so well and I wish she'd bring it back. Her layback this past season was the worst it's ever been.
Because tech panels have gotten much stricter on clear increase of speed.
