So a while ago I was watching a video of the Olympics and a comment mentioned PC had great spins. So I decided to look into. And… it’s actually the same spin for the last quad. They’ll do variations and they have good speed, but how can they not when it’s basically the same spin and almost the exact same positions.

I know VM mentioned they didn’t like spins, but I actually liked their spins. Especially the original Carmen one before they changed it to the Mahler one.

Any who, my question for you was who do you think has some good spins? I think it’s an overlooked component but I really quite enjoy them. Would love to hear your thoughts ☺️

Fun question!

The Shibs had crazy speed on their spin, they seemed to gain speed even, it was always quite impressive. Chock and Bates have a solid spin because Madi's positions are so nice and Evan is a good base. Coomes and Buckland had good speed on their spins usually -- their positions were okay, it was wild, they would have one nice position and then one not so nice one. Cappellini and Lanotte had nice spins, the one from the last free dance I always enjoyed, the entrance and exit to that spin were very cool.

Spins are also probably my least favourite element, under the IJS they last too long and have too many positions, they always seem to last about 2-3 seconds too long for me. It's hard to make a spin extra impressive when the criteria is so stringent.

That was Petr Barna in 1992! Here he is in 1991 doing kinda the same routine but you can see the hat gag go better too.

I also found the 1992 video (which is the first performance above) but with his next routine attached if anyone is interested. Not as Chaplin though.

Javier Fernandez does some Modern Times Chaplin in 2013 and 2018 and then in 2023. I’ll still insist Barna’s Chaplin is best, probably the costuming/prop. Fernandez just pretends he has a cane.

There’s also a sweet couples skate in 2017 with Anna Cappellini and Luca Lanotte. It’s cute.

I think Bobriova and Soloviev did that lift? Or Cappellini and Lanotte? I will have to look.

it was B/S at PYC but that was 6 years ago. it seemed like a coincidence that suddenly teams from 3 different schools are doing this lift

tianyuanzhang Major nostalgic weekend… 4 years ago, right before #pyeongchang2018 I worked as a photographer at ISU figure skating Grand Prix Final for the first time. Four years later, less than two months before #beijing2022 the competition was cancelled due to the pandemic. #figureskating #skaters #gpfigure #фигурноекатание #nostalgia #throwback #aljonasavchenko #brunomassot #virtuemoir #carolinakostner #papadakiscizeron #nathanchen (12.12.2021)

What are your thoughts on Hannah and Ye doing Prince/Umbrellas this year and on repeating iconic pieces in general? From my point of view, it seems a little farfetched to have music belong to a certain skater or team. Is it too much to have two programs with such iconic performances from VM though and for a senior debut? I just don't think I'd want to invite the comparisons personally.

I've seen this take a couple times and I truly cannot disagree more.

We haven't even seen the programs yet.

We haven't heard the music cuts yet.

We haven't seen the packaging yet.

So many skaters have done Prince (off the top of my head: Jason Brown, Kevin Aymoz, Yuzuru Hanyu) and so many skaters have done the Umbrellas of Cherbourg (once again off the top of my head: Johnny Weir, Cappellini/Lanotte, Evgenia Medvedeva, Peng/Jin, Nobunari Oda).

The issues arise if they are using the exact same music cut or very similar packaging, but since we don't know anything yet, there's no reason to jump to conclusions. I don't see why comparisons are necessary, they only come if the team/skater goes out of their way to make am homage or rip off a previous program.

That's my two cents, anyway.
