Unusual Spins and Spirals in Figure Skating

I love seeing unique and innovative spin and spiral positions in skating. Which ones are your favorites?

[@Yuzutea]

Let me know of any other unique spins/spirals/moves in general (especially in pairs and dance). I’d love to make a Part 2!

[@ddahstan6876]

Well, that just tells how much dedication and hardwork they put into ballet and overstretching... similarly to elite runners who consistantly train running with weights strapping/pulling on them or behind. Besides, these skaters/dancers started when they were little baby that their bodies and bones were easy to be "malleable".

[@birdtiredoflife5360]

The Hyperextened Biellmanns always give me heartattacks, the flexibility and strength you need for those...incredible. Was blown away by it firstly by Julia. I know we are in a quad frenzy and wierd jump frenzy when judges have odd judging (ignore their own rules/ GOE bullets)...spins should not be overlooked and are my favourite parts of all skaters programs. So beautiful and you really can be original with them. I actually wished they got rewarded more spins...but meh just my opinion

[@Yuzutea]

Totally agree! I feel like spins (and step sequences) are really undervalued and are usually my favorite parts of a program

[@comment6864]

to me they look painful because so unnatural. Didn't Lipnitskaya have serious back and hip problems later?

[@pia5005]

comment I can do the spin (not as good as them though!) and yeah it kinda is painful😂 But I think it’s not that unnatural, I‘ve seen a girl doing cheerleading that does an overextended biellmann and then leans forward!

You know it’s spelled Yulia right?

[@birdtiredoflife5360]

@@ioo4822 Yes I do! Silly me, I have a relative called Julia spelt like Julia so natural instinct kicked in and I used a J instead of a Y

[@gunaymuradova4633]

ISU needs to bring back the spirals, so artistic and aesthetically pleasing. They always talk about increasing the emphasis on artistry. This is a perfect way to start. Nowadays choreography sequences are full of filler moves without any emotion or artisty.

[@Yuzutea]

I love a good spiral sequence, but there’s also a lot of pretty bad spiral sequences that I definitely don’t miss. I definitely agree that I wish choreo sequences actually had to have more choreography haha. Seems like people just do a single spread eagle and call it a choreo sequence

[@user-fk4by8vz4u]

I agree. Choreography of Eteri girls are too busy. I love spins of Kostornaia and Valieva. And their spirals would be more elegant if they don't use them as difficult quick entries before jumps.

[@comment6864]

They should reward originality, breaking away from the cookie cutter programs, but they don't at all

[@comment6864]

@@user-fk4by8vz4u Yeah, Eteri programs are all the same. If you take away the costume and music change, you probably couldn't tell one apart from the other. The only place they might deviate a little from the standard is those of them that have extra flexibility. That's IT. And even then there's a lot of repetitiveness. For example if i see one more leg kick from Valieva I think i am going to throw up.

[@gunaymuradova4633]

@@Yuzutea agree, but skaters can actually try to improve themselves if this was a requirement. I am tired of seeing ina bauer into spread eagle or that sitting leg spread thing they do

[@tarantulabunnydog]

I know! It used to be like a climax, now it feels like an afterthought

[@user-fk4by8vz4u]

Eteri girls hold spiral only for a second which makes the program very clumsy.

[@olivia-sy3rv]

I skate, and it depends on whether I’m running early/on time/late for how long I hold it. You get the same amount of points in IJS as long as it’s high enough and for difficult combos (change edge,skid,etc), it’s done correctly. I hope that made sense!

[@user-fk4by8vz4u]

Love Kamilla's spin at 6:50, so beautiful and it seems like it's her signature move already. And look at the hand!

[@comment6864]

I think her signature move is a leg kick, LOL. Pretty much 80% of her programs. I guess showing off the flexibility, but it gets pretty boring.

[@realmantik]

@@comment6864 80 %...rewatch 80 times her new programs.

[@fazdoll]

@@comment6864 The leg kick is an Eteri thing. All her juniors (now young seniors) do it. But I've never seen anyone do Kamila's spin. It seems like the natural ending to the spin that Sasha and Polina and Lucinda do at the end. Is Kamila's spin new? If so I hope they name it after her.

[@comment6864]

@@fazdoll The bielman? That's nothing new, she does it with her leg straight up, that's all. Hyperextension. That's a physical gift that she has, it's not really a skill. She does all the same stuff pretty much that everyone else does, it's just that her hyperflexibility makes them look different. But that doesn't impress me very much, and i think it's a little overused by her choreographers. It's like ok, we understand, she can lift her leg not just really high like they all do, but really really really high. Ok. Now what? Flexibility to a great degree is a genetic physical attribute. I remember when i was a kid there were certain girls that had a perfect split without even trying much. Without even being into gymnastics or ballet or anything like that. Little girls even kind of compete over that kind of stuff. I personally don't consider that a crucially important thing in skating. I would say all of them have enough flexibility. What matters how they use each individual talent to make an integral and beautiful part of the whole performance. Viewers pick up on subtleties, you know. We can pick up right away that something is being overused.

[@walterwyte01]

Cam was saying she'd spent much time in rhythmic gymnastics before joining figure skating, that's probably where her flexibility was enhanced. So it's not quite fair to say she owns her extension only to her genes.

[@elietheshark1497]

As a ballerina I have so much respect for figure skaters. We can't turn without spotting, and we usually max out normal turns at like three, and here these people are like tops, without spotting. 👏👏👏

[@gadeaiglesiassordo716]

i just feel that they can't spot due to the insane spid they spin.

In figure skating spotting is not necessarily because of your have a lot of speed your brain basically shuts off and you don’t get dizzy

[@arwenevenstar0761]

Thank you for including Lucinda Ruh! I believe she is the best spinner in all of figure skating. Her centering was perfect and she showed wonderful innovation. You could see she was transported to another place when she spun. Unfortunately, because she didn’t do the kinds of jumps other skaters did, she never received the marks and acclaim she truly deserved, but I very much enjoyed watching all of her routines. She always seemed to be a genuinely humble and lovely person, too.

[@chadhill8776]

Yes. I saw Lucinda Ruh live at the 1996 world championships in Edmonton. (She kindly signed my program, too.) But when she took to the ice in practice sessions and began to spin (often at the end after a frustrating series of tortured jumps), all the other skaters and coaches would stop to watch her! All eyes were glued to her. Her spinning was so respected by all. She was that incredible. One of her spins was worth more than a quad these days. No one could do what she did with her absolutely perfect centering, speed, incredible duration and innovation. I could watch her all day doing her spins - even more than all the jumping beans out there. Spins are sorely underrated. They are much harder for most people to do than jumps.

Yulia Lipnitskayas I-spin (is that what it's called?) Is spectacular as well, I'm surprised you didn't include it. Not many girls get the speed that she gets in it

[@Yuzutea]

I didn’t include it because soooo many girls do an I-spin, but nobody does it as well as Yulia!

[@evanperilstein5308]

Yuzutea Sasha Cohen did it better than Yulia. Sasha’s was almost always perfectly centered. Yulia’s I-spin often traveled quite a bit.

The unknown spins included the "haircutter," the "pancake" and the "broken leg." (What my coach who was in the Ice Capades used to call them.) Tonya Harding has a spin named after her, the Harding Spin, and to me it looks like the camel Yuna Kim does. Dick Button described it as "a cross between a Hamil Camel and a tipsy little skater."

You should take a look at the Canadian skater Shawn Sawyer. He doesn't compete anymore but he had some crazy flexibility. He used to a variation of the Y Spiral, had a crazy high regular spiral, could do the Biellman, and did something similar to the Candlestick spin where he would start in a sit spin, grab the toe of his free leg and raise it up into a hyperextended position above his head. He also did backflips and cartwheels on the ice sometimes in his show/exhibition programs. I really like the "Pearl" spin and I really like the "Adelina" camel spin especially the one at the 3:00 mark.
