i love watching skaters that are able to pull up a needle in their bellman spin, unfortunately there are not so many, which one does it better? how can they be able to do that?
Not sure what the "needle" means? Is that when a skater achieves a full split?
anastasia mukhortova did yulia's spins better than yulia a couple of seasons ago. she's the fastest spinner i ever saw.
but after the injury she lost a lot in her spins.
and alisa lozko's spins is also faster than yulia's, i think
The thing is Julia did it fast when she was baby Julia but it took years for her to be able to exit the them with grace and fluidity into the choreography. Her fastest and best centered spins were at Euro Championship but the Needle she threw down at Rostelecom Cup SP last season was phenomenal. Yes it's slower but I'd argue it's the best controlled well executed version we've ever seen this spin from entry to exit. Speed is exciting but showing poise and control has a value all its own.

Lipnitskaya has never been in rhytmic gymnastics.lipnitskaya, lozko, mukhortova, sasha cohen, they all were in rhytmic gymnastics in their childhood, and switched to skating later.
skaters without basic training of rhythmic gymnastics don't have that much flexibility
Rumors.i'm not a fan of yulia and i don't know much of her biography. but i'm sure that i heard a multiple commentators on tv talked about her past in rg
IIRC, that was just a rumor that came up during the Olympic season. She's said she has never done gymnastics (rg or otherwise) before.
