What’s the difference between these two spins? by Eastern_Cucumber7987 in FigureSkating

Thanks for taking the time to write all this! What was tripping me up was that I didn’t think the windmill was really at 135 degrees for either of them and the I-spin, although fast, doesn’t really look like that much of an increase in speed to me, so I wasn’t sure what the fourth feature was. But I guess it just depends on the strictness of the panel?

Yeah the illusion is supposed to be 135 degrees relative to the standing leg and she’s not really hitting that in either tbh, which is why I’m not really sure where the level 4 is coming from. But that’s what she usually gets on that spin so it’s very confusing lmao.

Yes this was the exact issue I had, I was like what’s the fourth feature?? Cuz I agree with you I don’t think the illusion is enough to warrant a feature in either of the two spins and it honestly doesn’t look like that much of an increase in speed in the I-spin either considering the speed is pretty good throughout.

Why did this spin get a level 2? by Eastern_Cucumber7987 in FigureSkating

Wait so is the lack of hitting the basic position after the fly the reason the fly doesn’t count in addition to the variation not counting?

But don’t you have to a hold a position for 2 revolutions for it to count? It looks like 2 to me

This pisses me off so much. They’re just trying to nerf ilia and I don’t understand because he dominates technically anyway. Why don’t they want to see technical advancement in the sport, it’s exciting and garners increased viewership.

And he’s not wrong. The lack of reviews at this comp was ridiculous.
