Irina Slutskaya - triple-triple combinations

This is the new version of my video with collection of Irina Slutskaya's triple-triple combinations. I added a few new ones I've recently found.They are from her whole career. If you know more of her triple-triples please let me know so that I can put in my video and re-upload it.

Irina executed three kind of triple-triples: 3T+3T, 3S+3L and highly difficult 3Lz+3L. She had only three succesful attempts at that combo and became the first woman ever to land it at 2000 Grand Prix Final. Sometimes Irina added a double toeloop to her 3S+3L combo and she became the first woman ever to land such a combination at 2001 Worlds. Her achievments in figure skating are really admirable.

As I watch all of these triple-triple combinations, I realize that she's a sloppy jumper.

@saveangel That is certainly not true. She did mistakes on them because they are damn difficult! Her solo jumps were usually spot on with height, distance, speed, difficult entries etc. It is because of the high difficulty of those combinations that she stepped out, fell etc. She put a triple loop in her triple-triples which is much more difficult than the toeloop. And there are just few girls in the world who has attempted 3Lz+3Lo since Irina did it, let alone succeeded with it.

I loved your video.

[Seresu1]

@Gedevanishvili Thank you :).

[grolatav]

i think she did a triple salchow/triple loop for the first time at 1995 trophée de france but maybe underotatted

[Seresu1]

@grolatav Yeah, I know. I'm making new version of this video with this combo included :).

[Seresu1]

@tinymavy She would surely be known for her ability to pull off a clean programs many times, for double biellmans, big exuberance and speed across the ice, amazing height on lutzes and flips (a bit higher than Yu-Na) and notice that all her three attempts on triple-triples under IJS were actually given a credit. I think she was just overall better skater in her late career after comback in 2004-2005 season and she got even 3Lz-3L combo ratified then.

I miss you IRA.

Good collection XD

[icesk8grl73]

i love the height that she gets! this would probably still recieve full credit, even under today's judging system :D

[Chutson353]

what's amazing about her 3/lutz + 3/loop combo to me is the essentially nonexistent entry into the Lutz - no time to build up speed and then immediately into the loop - no hesitation - But it's NOT as good a Yamaguchi's in 1992.

[XxjceeT6xX]

That loop is actually hard to connect if you don't get enough height and speed on the rotation ! :O WOW !! She's amazing for pulling it off that many times :) She's still one of my favorites

[BigB0882]

The only time she ever did a good 3lutz/3loop was also the last time, at 2005 Worlds. That looked clean to my eyes but these strict callers would probably find a way to downgrade it today.
