Why are all these current pairs doing really strange death spirals? Most of them no longer do the textbook arch in the death spirals (most notably on forward inside DS and back inside DS). I don't know if these styles are already what's considered textbook or standard in current pairs skating, or the pairs are trying to be "innovative", or that they just couldn't do the standard arch in death spirals anymore due to lack of ability or training.
Most of the ladies also have a really awkward entrance to the forward inside DS. They no longer keep their knees straight, not like the way Jamie did, for example. Most of the ladies seem to copy the entrance of Elena B. in forward inside DS. Is the latter technique already the textbook/standard technique?
And I hardly see pairs doing the back outside DS. Is it because they spend most of their time perfecting their jumps and throws that they could no longer afford to practice other pairs elements?
