Ok, let me see if I can follow her instructions. Arms go up...

But can she do it in competition? Yes! At the 2013 Ladybug, pre-preliminary (slight hand down).

Really useful, and well done to Strauss for landing her axel in competition!
My kick though is so bad, so I'll definitely bear this in mind at my next practice.
