Interview with Sui Wenjing with Xu Lijia (English Translation)

Chinese Pairs skater Sui Wenjing sat down for a discussion/interview with Olympic Gold Medalist in sailing, Xu Lijia. I did a loose translation of the 10 minute rapid-fire q&a in the beginning segment, so this is a detailed translation of the long discussion starting at 11:10. 

If you’d like to listen, there’s a dropbox link someone sent me of it (since you need to download an app to listen) and someone also uploaded on bilibili.

Figure Skating Steps/Turns

I’ve made a guide to the ISU classified difficult steps/turns. For ice dance, the 6 difficult steps/turns are rocker, counter, bracket, choctaw, outside mohawk, and twizzle. For singles/pairs, the 6 difficult steps/turns are rocker, counter, bracket, choctaw, twizzle, and loop. For 3 of the difficult one foot turns (rocker, counter, bracket), I’ve also included examples from each of the 8 entry edges because in my opinion, they are the hardest to tell apart of the steps/turns. This is especially true for rockers and counters since skaters maintain the same entry and exit edge (inside to inside or outside to outside) in both. In singles skating, the direction of the step/turn (clockwise or counter-clockwise) is important because a skater must have 5 types of difficult steps/turns in both directions to achieve level 4 on their step sequence, so I will also separate them by their direction.

UPDATE: I’ve also included more choctaws, outside mohawks, twizzles, and loops from as many entry edges I can find. I also now have examples of non-difficult (ie. those that don’t count for levels in step sequences) steps/turns (three turn, inside mohawk, toe steps, chasse, change of edge, cross roll, crossed step in front, crossed step behind, slip steps, swing roll, progressive, illusion). See twitter thread version of this post here

Satoko Miyahara Program Collection

Inspired by meejung hwang on youtube, who did a Yuna Kim program collection. (link to channel)

Do you ever feel like watching your fave’s entire career without interruption? Are you tired of opening your Youtube playlists only to discover half the videos have been deleted/privated? I sure do. So I finally snapped and started to create video compilations for my favourite skaters: two per skater, one for all of their short programs, one for all their free skates. Only from their senior career and up to this current season (2018-2019). First up: Satoko Miyahara.

Here they are:

Short Programs: https://mega.nz/#!klwD0S6K!3c5xPAJipeSEfl8WyhWmce0Uz5sWaGp9RbPFWdDs-f4

Free Skates: https://mega.nz/#!ck5zWShA!TUjVMxoQ64tKKDrijDvlTaoRtFVASknA2wT-ZT96ttc

You can actually watch them on MEGA, or simply download them on your PC. I’m tired of getting blocked due to copyright. Happy off-season, guys.
