Figure Skating Terminology & Other Questions
Can anyone help me, it drives me crazy when I come across these terms so often yet I don't understand them. This coming from someone who can tell all the triples apart!
1. Popping a jump
2. Carriage
3. Line
4. One commentator prompted a remark at Olys 2002 on Michelle's 3F in her SP, "Slipped out of toe and still landed it!!". What does "slip out of toe" mean as far as toe-jumps are concerned?
Other questions:
1. Doing a Midori - I came across this sometime back, I forget what website. It said it was named after the incident when Midori jumped over an advertisement board at the rink side while attempting a triple! Gosh, was she hurt? I can't imagine the kind of injuries one would get doing that.
2. Jumps sequence - I know it has to involve a 1/2 Loop in between. Can someone explain how the 1/2 Lp is incorporated to connect with the 2nd triple? Also, since this isn't a combo jump, why didn't Michelle violate the Zayak's rule at Nationals 1998 in her LP. She did 3Lp-1/2 Lp-2T then did another 3Lp later.
Thank you in advance!
