Components of the perfect skating program

[southwest wind]

Lets make a collage of the perfect skate program. It would have

Sasha's spirals

Lucinda Ruh's spins

Shaelynn's edges

Fumie's soft knees when she lands jumps

 

[tarotx]

It's Sasha flexibility, posture, line and toe point that makes her skating great not just in the spirals.

Also I would add Michelle's constancy and her ability to show and share her love of skating with the audience.

John Curry's great 1976 Olympic long program performance...to music that I like

 

[anything_for_skating]

So it goes like this:

Irina's jumps

Irina's sparrows

Carolina's speed skating, her flying spins & her jumps also

Lambiel's spins

Plusenko's "art on ice!"

Susanna Poykio's soft knee when she lands jump, and also Lambiel's

Fleur Maxwell's flexibility

Sonia Radeva's coreography

Jeffrey Buttle's cute face when he is looking at judges

And finally, steps of Carolina Kostner,Stephane Lambiel and Plushy!!!

That's it-if I could mix ladies and men

Sounds good, but I'd also add Sasha's on-ice positions (flat back, pointed toes) and Michelle's ability to present a program/connect with the audience. Add Michelle's jump landings-how she lands so softly, solidly with run-out to Irina's height on jumps.

 

[screech]

Hehe I'd actually probably have to say
Brian's speed (like in his Worlds LP)
Stephane's quad
Johnny's triple axel
Plushenko's confidence
Everything else: Jeff's everything (except triple axel and quad)
