Best/Favourite "Bielmann Spin"

[RIskatingfan]

I voted for other. Lucinda Ruh does it even better than Denise IMO.

full biellmann

My vote goes to Naomi Nari Nam. She had some major flexibility in that back. Between her layback and the bielmann. Such a shame we'll never know what could have been had she not been injured.

Denise..........no one does it better than the one who originated it.....although Lucinda's is awfully good.........42

Lucinda. No question about it!

Lucinda Ruh, although I do like Denise's.

i remember her being interviewed once, and she told people that he has a special machine that helps her practice the biellmann.

What kind of machine?

BTW, I voted for Denise.

I hadn't heard anything about any special machine, but I had heard an interview with Denise in which she said she did 1,300 sit-ups a day and spent 45 minutes in preparation for that move.

That's quite a Biellmann on Shaun Sawyer! I'm impressed. Does anyone know where I can find a video clip of this guy? (Rinkside doesn't work on my laptop )

 

[Antilles]

I don't have any clips, but he's amazing. He's got spirals like Sasha Cohen. I hope he does well enough that more people get to see him this year.

Matt:

I found quite a few clips of this amazing young man. I just typed in his name (Oops - I see his hame is spelled Shawn!) and several sites came up - some with small clips of his amazing talents.

I don't know if this will work for you, but give it a try. If not just type in Shawn Sawyer and his home page will come up. Click on Gallery to see a choice of several pictures and clips. I am really looking forward to seeing him skate this season.
