I love Emily, people always talk about Kimmie and Emily is usually an afterthought. She proved at Nationals that she isn't just Sarah's sister anymore. She's a genuine threat. I can't wait for her to get her first victory Kimmie. I always believed Emily!
Well, you just bumped it back up to the top by posting on it, LOL.can we stop talking about Emily? I'm tired of seeing this thread always on front page.

Its not a one-handed Biellmann, its a Chinese Spiral.

A while back we were talking about Mao -
Excuse my bumping an old post (and OT to boot) but Ant's response to my praise of Mao's one-handed Bielmann has been in the back of my mind and I happened to rewatch her Japanese Nationals LP yesterday. The Bielmann (not spiral) is at 2:25 and 4:20.

It's also at the very end of her SP:

Not to be obsessive, but it's one of her signature moves, and very unforced and pretty indeed.
OK, I see the confusion, sorry. I was talking about her spin - the other poster did not specify spin or spiral but said Mao's B was cheated with a hand-flutter for distraction - I asked why and attached a pic of the spiral. You replied to the other poster that it wasn't a B but a spiral (I guess since we don't see hand-flutters in spins).I'm pretty sure i'm being mis-quoted...well out of context. I didn't think that reply was to you spun silver it was to a poster cmoplaining that Mao's "one-handed Biellmann Spiral" was so bad that she tried to take away attenti0n frmo it by fluttering one hand to distract the judges (i'm paraphrasing). My response was that the one handed spiral being discussed is (i'm pretty sure) called a chinese spiral.
Yah, good question. Instead of the "I don't like" being the comment associated with the "cheating." What are the facts, OTHER than dislike?????But I still want to know why Mao's Biellmann (spin) - or her Chinese spiral, for that matter - might be considered cheated!

It sounds like some are just so "personally nitpicky" it is borderline pertinacious attitude, that can drive potential fans away - IOW public perception of "snobbish type of opinions" - not rational. This maybe equally as nitpicky of me, but why people can't just say something like "a better one for me comes from...." Instead it is the comments of "That is not a Beliemann at all, that is not what it is 'spose to be or look like, if they can't do it right they ...blaa blaa....
