Naming Figure Skating Moves after their "Inventor"

[silverpond]

Was thinking about some of the figure skating moves that have been named after the skater who invented and/or perfected them.

Axel jump - Axel Paulsen
Salchow jump - Ulrich Salchow
Camel spin -- Dick Button (formerly called the "Button spin")
Ina Bauer - Ina Bauer
Biellman spin - Denise Biellman
Hamill Camel - Dorothy Hamill
Hart Attack Lift - Hart US pairs champions
'Tano Triple - Brain Boitano (triple lutz with arm lifted overhead during rotation)

There have to be other jumps, spins, and/or moves I've omitted.

What are they? Thanks in advance!

Besti squat - Natalia Bestemianova
Charlotte spiral - Charlotte Oelschlagel

???
Rippon lutz - Adam Rippon
Yuna camel - Yuna Kim

I know there were a ton of moves that were inofficially named after Sasha Cohen

Kayla's Catch - Kayla Doig
Twhicks --> Twhicks Pretzel - Courtney Hicks

Denise Biellman didn't invent the Biellman spin, she just popularized it. Tamara Moskvina has photographic evidence of her doing the Biellman spin in the 1960s when she was competing.


Europeans call the loop jump the "Rittberger" after Werner Rittberger, who is generally credited with the invention of the jump.

Surely something was named for Jackson Haines!

I've come across the sitspin being referred to as a Jackson Haines spin in very old skating books.

 

[Olympia]

Thanks, gkelly! That makes sense.

I think the sit spin is still called a “Jackson” in roller skating.

Jackson Haines also toured as a “fancy roller skater” and introduced the passtime of “roller skate dancing” to the U.S.

By the way, while I was trying to look this up just now I came across this interesting little fact.

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_was_the_impact_of_Jackson_Haines_on_figure_skating

(Haines) met Axel Paulsen in Oslo, and encouraged him to adapt his revolution-type jump from racing skates to figure skates. After a few falls, Axel conceived of adding a pick or rake to the front of the figure skates. After that pick was welded to his figure skates, he could land backwards easily. When Axel competed in a Vienna "meeting" in 1882, an Englishman named Henry Bosworth observed the new pick, and took that invention back to England, where he manufactured several pairs of ice skates, which he quickly sold. Other skate makers copied that form in England, but it was already popular in Norway.

Hart Attack Lift - Hart US pairs champions

The skaters were named Hartsel (Danielle and Steve), IIRC.

So if this were to happen, the toe loop and the flip would share a name--the Mapes! In rollersports, the toe loop is still called the Mapes (which he invented in 1929; the flip was invented earlier, in 1913).

Other more recently-named moves are:

Surely something was named for Jackson Haines!

We have a Ukranian born coach who grew up in the Soviet system back in the 60s + 70s who calls rocker-Choctaws "Jacksons" and quick Mohawks "Hamiltons" and a Mohawk-crossover series as "Rodninas", of course he could be talking about Donald Jackson.

Caroline Zhang coined her spin "The Pearl," though it's just a waaaay extreme version of a catch-foot/hair-cutter spin. The name isn't eponymous like the "Charlotte" or the "Ina Bauer"; I say she should have called it the "Zhang Pearl." One thing about the spin--it's exclusive to her. I've never seen anyone else do it the way she does...or did. Even she can't really do it like this anymore. :disapp:

Kayla's Catch - Kayla Doig
Twhicks --> Twhicks Pretzel - Courtney Hicks

"Kayla Catch" was another version of a hair-cutter/Biellmann so I was pretty unimpressed by all of the hoopla that one station in Australia tried to cause.

I'd seen the move she coined the "Twhicks" done by Caroline Zhang back in 2007. However, the "Twhicks Pretzel" is something I'd never seen before...

I am pretty sure this girl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8q1X7WihbzE

could if she tried. Check out the position in her beliiman. (last spin the program)

Definitely. A lot of skaters have the flexibility to do it, but no one ever attempts it. Mirai gets pretty close with the third position in her layback, but what makes the Pearl so hard is both arms are extended out...it almost looks like a 90 degree Biellmann. Like I said, not even Caroline can do it like that anymore.

Something else Caroline should have named after herself was this spiral. I'd have called it a "Zhang spiral." Again, I haven't seen too many others do this. I know Julia Lipnitskaya does something similar, though her's is done going forward instead of backwards.

A while back, we had a South Korean skater trying to invent the flying layback: http://youtu.be/OcQvL27eivQ

 

[kwanatic]

Yeah, she just lost too much speed. I vaguely remember this girl, mostly because her version of the Pearl spin was pretty close to Caroline's...

indeed. I always thought Mirai could easily do it, especially when she was younger, but choose not to "steal" her friend's move. I would be shocked if never tried them in practice though.

Besti squat - Natalia Bestemianova
Charlotte spiral - Charlotte Oelschlagel
Yuna camel - Yuna Kim

With all due respect to Natalia Bestemianova, I thought the "squat" she repeated throughout their 1988 Olympic long program was extremely unattractive.
