  • Matched in speed? Nope. Zhang is more flexible, I will give her that... but Czisny is 22, and she is STILL extremely flexible. For me, Zhang still has a few years to prove herself... that's just my opinion. And spinning is one of the best things she does. Her artistry is simply unmatched... except maybe by Sasha. Alissa's spirals and split jumps are very impressive too!

  • it is The best layback ever, seriosuly no one comes close to her :D

see all

    caroline + mirai stretch their head back because by doing so performs the hyper extended biellmann spin; which means that instead of the body being in a tear drop shape, the leg is stretched almost completely straight, and head is brought back as far as possible. to be able to do a biellmann already is intense, so i give props to all 3 skaters either way :D they ALL have AMAZING layback spins.

  • I love Alissa's spirals and spins, but for some reason I like Sasha Cohen's better... just my opinion though. Alissa is a lovely skater, and her spins and spirals are to die for

  • the one thing i love about her biellman is that she doesn't crunch her head to her back/butt, her upper body stays upright and doesn't bend backward. it's a much nicer position in my opinion than caroline's or mirai's.

  • OMG! Perfect spin!

  • @anubethc45 i agree with you there. however back when caroline first started senior (prior to her growth spurt), she and alissa were pretty even in terms of speed. caroline's physical changes have slowed her down a lot (jumps and spins) but alissa has been able to maintain the quality of her spins throughout her career. however, i still find caroline's classic layback better positioned than alissa's, tho alissa is much faster than caroline now...

  • Nagasu's spins are more better!

  • I think alissa holds a better postion though, the strength and the fluidity is evenly carried through her layback, her most recent biellmann spins are to die for! so many revs and such a good position! Love Alissa, there is a clear reason as to why she is my idol!

  • @PecanSandees23 and 2011 US champion!!!! :)

  • Lovely. And for those who said she couldn't pull it together: 2010 Grand Prix Champion.
