  • @gayskatingfan Lisa combo wasn't more difficult and wasn't performed as well as Denise combo !

  • Salchow is an easier jump than a toe, and beside it is an edge jump which means there would be no change of edge in the combo ... since the second jump is a required double loop.. another edge jump. So it make for an easier combo.

  • Well Marie Allen did the same triple as Biellmann, a triple salchow combo. Biellman had a triple toe combo which is a bit easier than both.

  • Yes u r correct in the placements, But I would have had Beillmann, Fratianne (only because of the triple) ahead of Lenz, Allen , Lurz not even sure Poetzch should have been next.

  • Actually she was 3rd in the short program. The placings were 1. Fratianne, 2. Biellmann, 3. Marie Allen, 4. Poetzsch, 5. Lurz, 6. Lenz.

    I would have had it: 1. Biellmann, 2. Marie Allen, 3. Fratianne, 4. Lenz, 5. Lurz, 6. Poetzsch however

  • Don't forget, the ISU used to stipulate one of the combo jumps until 1989, which made the choice of combos very restrictive. So, the phenomenon you cite might have been a function of that.

    Also, Lisa Marie had performed a 2Lz-2Lp combo through that season and placed poorly (e.g., @ Pre-Olympics in Lake Placid, NHK). Since she couldn't get the Axel combo, she went right to a 3 sal combo. Gutsy move!

  • Absolutely!

  • A "Statuesque beauty" if ever there was one....I too LOVE the Guss Lussi I-O edge into the double axel.....a very fun jump, more should try it today!!!

  • She used the same short at the 1978 Worlds landing a triple salchow/ 2 toe loop combination.
