Sanda Dubravcic 1979 World Championships Short Program

With the double flip as the required jump in the short program for the 1978-1979 season, Sanda Dubravcic of Yugoslavia decides to make herself stand out from the pack by doing a double flip-triple toe as her combination. This short program placed 9th in the segment and she would up 12th overall.

Wow!! Fenomenal 2flip+3toeloop combination, so solid!! And only 9th place? She was really one lady to land this huge combinaton at this event? Sanda also the very first woman to land 2axel+3toeloop in competition.

@aelred123 That's definitely true. Elaine had 3L and 3S in addition to 3T, but 3T was pretty much all Sanda had (her 3S was VERY inconsistent, and she never even attempted a 3L, 3F, etc.). My favorite, though, was Sanda's 2A-2L-2L combo which went SOOOOO fast and SOOOOO smooth! Nobody to this day can do a 3-jump combo the way Sanda could.

And my favorite 2Lutz+3T+2Rittberger by Sanda. One german source said about first 2A+3T at Euro 1979. but on long program, not in short.

wow!

[@Zuranthium]

Do you have any other Ladies SP videos from the 1974-1980 era, or Sanda's performance in the Long Program at this Worlds?

[@nondescriptnyc]

@bemar1972 Really? I thought that was done by Zayak in 1978 @ the Jr. Worlds... Sanda would do a 2Lz-3T, 2F-3T, etc., but I don't recall seeing a 2A-3T from her.
