Not sorry but this is the funniest shit I’ve seen in a minute.
that's my olympic champion! 😍
“The number of novice girls in Russia that have triple axels is remarkable. The fact that you can have a solid 3Lz+3T and still not make Jr. Nationals is mind boggling sometimes.”

I'm absolutely in ♥️ with this dress! I think her hair matches it very nicely as well 😊

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