Who's your favorite spinner?

[Ladskater]

The great Toller Cranston!

I voted for "other" since I didn't see Lucinda Ruh at first. I was going to say Irina Slutskaya, because she has very fast and powerful spins; especially the camel, butterfly, and her famous Biellmann. Lucinda Ruh, though, gets credit for doing the 115 revolution spin, so I pick her. PS. She coaches at my rink!!!!

 

[Kwanford Wife]

I voted for Lucinda because she turns spins to artform vs. just another element.

Sandhu

Alissa is the best spinner today imho. She hits gorgeous positions and has speed galore!

 

[hyoo]

Sasha's spins are so good. Her pointed toes definitely make all of her spins so much more polished than others'. This is especially true for her camel spin. The arc in her back is so pretty.

I say Weir!

 

[Mimzy]

Todd Eldredge!

 

[ruriruri]

I voted others. Nobunari Oda, IMO, is the best.

His combination spin is outstanding. Soon, you'll see it in the world and must agree with me.

There are a lot of great spinners.But among ladies I choose Sasha and among men I choose Johnny.Sasha is beautiful in every position and in every spin.Weir is so flexible and his spins are real great.Nobody can do spins like Johnny.Lambiel's spinning is fast but for some reason it doesn't click for me.

I voted for Stephane. By the way, are there any YouTube videos of Lucinda Ruh? I never got to see her skate, and I was hoping I could, since a lot of people say she's a great spinner.

 

[Sheena]

Others - Neil Wilson (the original male super-spinner). Johnny Weir also has beautiful spins. Natalie Kreig was amazing too!

Neil trained in Canada with Joane MacLeod & now coaches in Vancouver.

Go Stephane!

 

[SK8LUVR]

I do not want to compare girls against boys so I picked the girls category to vote on.

I love Alyssa's spins. I'm only picking her because she is one of the current best spinners. I love Sasha's too but I think that Alyssa has some of the best that I have seen this year alone. Well done Alyssa!

 

[kandidy]

Lucinda's spins are superb!Fast and centered!
She still keep the guiness record of longest (time) spin in the world. Pity, she was not a strong jumper.

The Pearl

I love Zhang's fast and centered spins; the "pearl" is amazing. Nagasu also has some good spins, and her bielmann spin has a perfect pointed toe! Also, Sasha has perfect positions, but I like Caroline's best!
