... I don't think it needs a nickname.
:agree: I don't think it needs a nickname either.
None of my posts in this thread have been in favor of a nickname. Quite the opposite.
... I don't think it needs a nickname.
I don't get why people are so outraged here because a poster dared to use a russian word. It may be a made up word but russians are useing it in articles and forums pretty often to discuss this particular jump. I mean flutz, another made up word used pretty often on this forum, sounds funny and weird to us non native english speakers. I searched for his meaning and didn't make a fuss about it. Plus, the thread's title contains the actual name of the jump so I don't understand why people are so hung up on this word.
Now to the actual discussion. I'm curious if Alena said something in her interviews before and after the test skate about training the 3A curently. And what is Sasha's situation with this jump. Also, did Akatieva learn 3A in Eteri's group?
With a triple Axel you can sneak in an extra triple jump instead, making up for the difference in points between a triple Axel and a quad.
If you compare the relative advantages of training a triple Axel versus a quad, one consideration is this. You must do an Axel jump in both the short and the long programs. If you can do a triple Axel, that fulfills the requirement while racking up big points.
You're talking to one here. And I'm not the only one.
My point was more than if you were to say this around one or anyone for that matter in skating they're going to look at you like you have two heads, but if you want to do that then be my guest, I'm not the one looking ridiculous.
Yes, I was. Senior Worlds and multiple disciplines btw. There are videos out there.
… As far as i know there has been only one prominent American Indian figure skater. Naomi Lang's (four-time U.S. ice dance champion ) father was a member of the Karuk Tribe. ...
Does "Quacksel" sound too cutesy/sexist/quacky to anyone?
okay :agree: that's cool i was also an elite top skater who went to worlds
Are we really arguing about names, when three ladies landed 3As today and yesterday?
