What I like BEST about this drill is starting with LATE twisting.

It’s easy to twist earlier. Difficult to get kids to twist later.

“Late is GREAT” 😀

IF judges actually deducted for form in the air, Yulo would rank even higher on Floor.

Minami Kazuki – 4.5 twist

Ilia Malinin – 6 quads

I don’t often link to figure skating as they rarely flip 😀 … but Ilia’s performance is something we need know.

He’s the quad god. Kenzo on ice.

The new 2024 World champion.

Malinin is the first and only skater to land a fully-rotated quadruple Axel, widely regarded as the hardest jump in figure skating.

The son of Russian-born Olympic Uzbekistani singles skaters Tatiana Malinina (1999 Grand Prix Final and inaugural Four Continents champion) and Roman Skorniakov. Born Fairfax, Virginia.
