Yuri on Ice x spirals

Spirals are an element in figure skating wherein one leg is held above hip height while the skater glides on the other. They were previously a required element for women for many years - and for a brief moment, pairs - but men less often do them as well. They are a beloved element for a lot of fans because they can look extremely pretty when done well.

JJ is doing a brief, classic arabesque spiral in a very nice position, with good extension and turnout. Otabek is doing a so-so arabesque spiral on an inside edge, which might have been meant to be a skid spiral (a spiral where the supporting foot does a slow 180 degree turn in the direction the skater is traveling in), although if so they only animated half the turn. Unlike with JJ, his foot is drawn turning down as the spiral goes on, and his leg noticeably bends as he lowers out of it, neither of which are considered aesthetic technique. Yuri in the first gif does a short backwards spiral with high extension as a difficult entrance for his axel. In the second, he does a Biellmann spiral. Biellmann spirals are fairly rare even for women; between the rarity of men’s spirals and the rarity of men who can hit the demanding Biellmann position, they’re almost unheard of for men. Having such a nice one in his program would certainly help Yuri stand out!

I don’t want to be the fat friend. I want to be the skinny friend.

I want to be the friend that people constantly say, “I bet I can pick you up” too.

I want people to stare and look at me and worry.

I want attention.

I want people to try and help me. But I don’t want help.

I want to be petite. I want to be so small, the wind could blow me away.

I want to be hit on. I want to be validated. I want people to stare at me and be jealous

I want to constantly feel my bones. I want to be able to wrap my entire hand around my arm.

I want people to stare in awe on how I went from almost 200 lbs to a mere 100. I want to be on the thinnest of ice. I want to be barely normal weight. I want to be one pound away from being severely underweight.

Is that so hard?
