I have to admit this is a beautiful and difficult spin. It is like a small snippet of Sasha Cohen. What ever happened to Caroline though. She seems to be declining.
I don't think most people (and some skaters) fully understand how difficult spins are, especially this one. Do you have any idea just how much flexibility and strength is needed for this spin? Probably 1 out of 1,000 skaters will be able to do this spin, and well at that.
How come mostly all the korean and chinese figure skaters are the best at doing thngs lke ths? But wait. Wat race is she? Her last name seems and looks lik shes korean to me.
@supersouleaterfan She is of Chinese origin. Zhang, spelled as is, is not Korean. And though her extreme flexibility is a nice trick, it's nothing to be proud of since it's not really a mark of good spinning or skating skills, though she is a good spinner. If you really want to see a special spinner, look up Lucinda Ruh. Def. not Chinese nor Korean ;)
Such gorgeous positions, and she's so centered and fast! She does not even move an inch while going through all these crazy position changes. Incredible!
Back flexibility like this is normal in rhythmic gymnastics. Even gymnasts older than 25 can do it. You only have to stretch extremely hard from a very young age.
DISTURBING!!! haha wow She's an amazing skater! But why did she call it the pearl? Why not the zhang or something that states that caroline zhang created this spin!
because she wasn't the first person to do it...it was actually done in the 80's by a few swiss skaters, and early nineties by nathalie krieg who also has the world record for the fastest combination spin...i'm not exactly sure who the first person to do it was but caroline's is pretty amazing...
no there is 1 girl at the rink i go to (just 4 fun i can't skate) that can do it.....but it's an amazing thing...but before ppl start dissing me it IS a very hard thing to do and caroline zhang is very talented. the reason y girls r doing it now is cuz she brought this new move into figure skating....
not just the flexibility it must take a lot of strenght to lift her whole body up from that position into a beilman cause she starts out so low. that is a beautiful spin and the best i've seen.
Well...She is half asian...What do you expect?
