GAME: You Be The Judge!

Yesterday's Questions:

  • For my IJS Girls: Tell me what her spins would be called as today and name ALL of the features she ATTEMPTED.

  • For my littles and adults: Tell me which of her jump landings was the BEST and WHY.

Since yesterday was Flash Back Friday - 90's edition, I gave you this STRONG Karen Preston...


And she gave YOU this!!!



Yesterday's Answers: How I'd call it

CCoSp1V

  • Camel side - achieved

  • Camel up - short

  • Clear change in a layback - short

  • Basic camel - achieved

  • Basic sit - high

  • Basic upright - short

  • 3 basic positions on the 2nd foot - high & short

LSpB

  • Clear change in a layback - achieved, but repeated

FCoSp1*

  • Basic flying entry - achieved

  • Camel side - achieved but repeated

  • Upright straight - achieved

  • NOTE - ISU rules state, "In spins in one position and flying spins, the concluding upright position at the end of the spin (final wind-up) is not considered to be another position independent of the number of revolutions, as long as in such a final wind-up no additional feature is executed (change of edge, variation of position etc.) That is why in this case, the spin would change from a FCSp to a FCoSp and be not according to requirements.


I CAN'T THANK KAREN ENOUGH FOR REACHING OUT TO ALL OF OUR CONTEST PARTICIPANTS!


We are ALL wishing you and your loved ones GOOD HEALTH and SAFETY from here in the States!
