Ladies and Gentlemen.....I'm sure you all are very familiar with most, of not all, of the topics included in this glossory. I thought you would enjoy scanning thru the list, viewing the excellent photos, etc. Enjoy!

Just love those spirals!!!

Just wanted to say I was glad the face of the skater doing the leg wrap was blurred in the photo so that we cannot easily identify the skater. There's no need to embarrass anybody!

Well, I think I recognized the skater, too, but I'm still glad the face was blurred. No need to identify the skater, IMHO.

Me, too!! I wondered what in the world that move was called. Annet Poetsch of East Germany included that move in some of her programs, and I always expected her to fall flat on her back. Amazingly, she always held the position and continued on with her routine.

Just found a photograph of Annet Poetszch performing a cantilever during her competitive days. How in the world she managed to achieve and hold that position and not fall on her back is truly amazing. Wow, talk about a balancing act.

Looks like I already commented on this! Oh, well.
