Best jumps // Skate America 2018 // Ladies

[figure-skating-confessions]

“The more I watch Evgenia and Gracie's programs, the more I'm marveled by Zhenya's composition and confused by Gracie's. Zhenya is doing jumps that she can clearly do with good execution, while I'm wondering why the heck Gracie has a 3F in her SP, and a 3F-2T in her LP. Cleary the 3Lz is Zhenya's weakness, but she only does it once in the LP and by itself.”

baby rika's triple lutz and triple flip 💖💞 (x)

[enby-axels]

chiburahakkai on twitter has a great thread on what makes the lutz more difficult than a flip, and how excessive pre-rotation affects the mechanics of the jump.

basically, the outside edge creates a curve opposite to the direction the skater jumps.

in these gifs, you can clearly see the mark the outside edge take-off makes on the ice. rika then jumps in the direction opposite of the momentum. this is what makes the lutz harder than the flip

however, some skaters have an incorrect lutz take-off: a change of edge and/or too much pre-rotation create a second curve on the ice that's more like the curve created by the inside edge of a flip

in that way, a pre-rotated lutz is almost like a flutz
