Figure Skating Elements Named After a Person
Vložit

- Surprisingly, there aren't a lot of skills or elements in figure skating that are actually named after the person who invented them!
I tried to include footage of the actual inventor performing the skill, but in some cases I wasn't able to find any.
* There are also some unofficial regional terms for these and other skills, such as the Ina Bauer being referred to as Shizuka Arakawa's move in Japan or Yuna Kim's move in Korea.
** Additionally, there are also more unofficial terms for some specific spin positions, such as Adelina Sotnikova's signature camel variation or Yulia Lipnitskaya's hyperextended Biellmann, but I did not include those in the video since they aren't widely used terms.
------------------------------------------------------
Skills/Elements included in this video:
Ina Bauer
Biellmann Spin
Charlotte Spiral
Kerrigan Spiral
Tano
Rippon
Axel
Salchow
Lutz
Rittberger
------------------------ - Sport
Correction: Axel Paulsen is NORWEGIAN, not German! whoops...
Here's a couple more:
Besti Squat - Natalia Bestemianova
Zayak Rule - Elaine Zayak (does this count? lol)
Who is the first skater in blue with crazy ina bauer?? 😱
Stella Herrera shizuka arakawa, 2006 olympic gold medalist
@@a___9909 thank you
I should have realized that it's the person who inspired Yuzuru's crazy ina bauer 😅
Stella Herrera m
The picture you chose of Alois Lutz is not him, it's another Austrian person with the same name. Lutz, the inventor of the jump died at a very young age, at 19.
"here's Midori Ito performing it before Adam was born" lol
our Soviet skater Elena Vodorezova did it even before Ito, in 1970's
Jill Trenary too
lovely youngho facts 💅💅💅
Have to have an excuse to name the position after someone special...
Both the Tano and Rippon don't belong in this list really. Brian's entire routine was showing how they did these jumps originally, and it was rather unappreciated by people who didn't really know skating. Adam Rippon does a beautiful job of the two armed move, but I'm certain only some Americans would call it that. Dick Button never would!
my signature move as a skater:
the julianne fall!
after falling, instead of getting up, you lay on the ice and contemplate all your decisions that led you up to that point.
Julianne Aniceto then try really hard to not get run over by other skaters 😂😂
Annie Stine oh yes that’s the fun of it 😂
Julianne Aniceto thank you, you made my day!! 😂
Julianne Aniceto Brilliant!
Or just lay there and wait for your fingers to get run over by someone
I am sure if I ever get noticed, they would name a FALL after me lol
Don’t expose me like that lmao
Usui Takumi Spirited Away
Your profile picture
How's Misaki doin'?😁
The Takumi Tumble 😁👌
*i got to say something to the guy who invented the axel....*
*why’d you invented that, it gave me nightmares, took me years to get it, why, just why?*
And to think he did that in speed skates!
@ThatOneAsianBroChick no one has ever tried quintuple axel as far as I know. Quadruple - yes, Quintuple - no. At least no vids or sayings from any skater up to date they're trying it.
Shoma Uno will try the quint Toe loop, he said. I did not heard of any other quint.
@ThatOneAsianBroChick "someone crazy" I have this feeling this _someone_ is going to be Yuzuru
Still haven't gotten it
I don't know anything about ice skating.. i only watch it because it's beautiful.. i can't even differenciate all those elements especially the spin.. it looks same for me.. 😅
QWERTY You spoke my mind🤭🤭🤭
Same
QWERTY: I hear you !
This is so relatable lmao
Agree. All those jumps look the same. I don’t see how anyone could tell unless you slowed down the footage
man i love seeing the clips of the first time a move is used versus how much more polished it looks with modern skaters. like taylor and ito's triple axels. they look kind of messy by modern standards but they were revolutionizing skating at the time
To me they looked like they were even having fun n passionate now the competition is so cut throat we rarely find those kinds charismatic skaters
midori has the best 3A please
and/or done with a poor split position SHADE to mariah and ashley lmao!!
Alex T mariah’s is pretty ok. gracie’s on the other hand...
The Biellmann should’ve been called the Moskvina...that lady got robbed.
Is that the same Tamara Moskivina as the legendary coach?
@@asiacheetah1010 , yes
@dh952 I think Evgenia mostly did tanos. She added a few rippons, but she wouldn't be who I think of when thinking of Rippons
a million spins should be named after Lucinda Ruh and Rudy Galindo.
Lisa H., absolutely!
Moskvina was the first person to perform the element but it was named after Biellmann who just "popularized" it. WTF?
Unfortunately, this has happened in Gymnastics as well. The rule for getting an element named after you was it had to be performed successfully at a major Worlds event. Some athletes performed their elements at a World competition, but it wasn't named after them, but by an athlete that came after and hung around longer in the sport. I think this has started to die out, and athletes, as creators, get more of their due nowadays?
It's absolutely unfair..
same with rippon
so what
Tell that to all these male scientists then who take credit for others' work hahaha
Physics nerd and skating fan here. Tano/Rippon adds positive marks as it changes the center of mass from under the navel to higher up, thus making the drop quicker and rotations a bit harder to complete by moving their natural center balance. If a jump with Tano/Rippon is landed successfully, it means one has well calculated the execution of using it or got super lucky.
3:43 "But seriously, SO MANY PEOPLE DO THIS SPIRAL" that was too funny 😂😂😂
I like how most of the clips were yuzuru hanyu haha💙💙❄
and yuna kim my favorites.. also asada 😍
And Yulia
And then there’s me, a non skater, to whom every jump looks the same :) HAHAHAHA
I’m a non skater as well but I’m obsessed with watching ice skating so I can see the differences lmao
Same here🙋♀️
Literally me lmaoo
Same, I'm trying hard to see it but since the only difference are the take-offs and feet balancing on which edge to differ them I'm completely lost because they do it in such a high speed
The axel easily stands out because it's the only one with the forward takeoff.
The rest - salchow, lutz, flip, toe, loop - look the same to untrained viewers.
6:56 that proud face shouting "I've done it"
The Kerrigan just seems like a lazier, easier way to do a spiral.
I agree. I never liked Nancy Kerrigan's spiral. It just looked lazy to me.
As a figure skater, its very pretty, but yes, holding the free leg makes it easier since it gives more balance.
I thought the same thing. Not necessarily lazy, but a supported leg to make it easier to perform.
gottahaveshades Say that to Mao Asada....
Nancy IS (or was) lazy
Yuzuyu Hanyu~ he’s the reason why I started getting interested in the art of ice skating.
I like how you said "art", not "sport". Hugs & love from Russia to you, my dear human!
The art of winning by falls
@@strykertool what do you mean?
@@katrinschilcher I think they mean this because of how FS is judged. I'm not too sure about it but I believed that it used to be, as long as you got to a certain point in the jump, it would count, even if you fell. Therefore, people would do jumps they knew they couldn't land because they knew they would be rewarded either way.
Or maybe it's cause a lot of people call FS a jumping competition now, and most skaters fall on their jumps, but they do them anyways cause they award so many points. I'm not sure.
Ew simp
I love that Alena Kostornaia is included so many times as an example. She's my favourite skater at the moment, incredibly young but undoubtedly gifted and incredible to watch.
People keep forgetting the mention that that first woman to do a triple jump was a Canadian, Petra Burka, in the 1962 nationals
The “Ina Bauer” is very similar to fourth position in classical ballet. :)
Sasha Cohen definitely had the best Charlotte of all time.
Evan Perilstein the extension she achieved on that move was amazing.
IIUC, competition no longer requires a spiral sequence. (?) The Russian ladies -- Shcherbakova and Valieva in particular -- could probably match Cohen, but since it's no longer a required element, they'd rather work on another jump.
The only other Charlotte spiral I liked was Sotnikova's
I like Alina Zagitova's quite a lot
Triple axel in women’s competition should seriously be renamed “The Midori Ito”. In order to qualify, the speed-height and travel in this jump must be extraordinary, leg wrap required, and the entry must be clean. She was unique.
Personally, I’m getting a bit tired of seeing the arms overhead on jumps all the time. I’d also love to see new variations on a layback or camel spin that don’t require a huge amount of flexibility.
R J it’s crooked arms. Not helicopter!😂
They just need to straighten their arms during their tano jumps especially. Which is definitely easier said then done because physics exists. Also I would love for a new camel variation because I lack flexibility. At least I can still do an ok ish catch camel.
@Janet - Same. I actually don't really like how it looks. I realize that makes me weird.
Agree. It's gotten old.
I liked Sasha’s spirals , Mao Asada’s bubbly personality and Shizuka’s the Arakawa which is the more difficult version of the Ina Bauer, and I also liked the scratch spin of Shizuka’s and in her career she did a layback combo and split.
Sasha had some of the very best spirals - so steady in the ankle :)
In 6:04 about the Axel Jump, it's really cool to highlight that the first woman that performed a triple axel was Midori Ito and not Tony Harding as many believe although the two figure skaters were competing together at the time (1988).
Just to specify the achievement that Tonya Harding actually accomplished was indeed be the first AMERICAN woman to do a triple axel ( since Midori Ito is a Japanese woman) also Tonya Harding was the first to do the triple Axel in a short program AND do it successfully twice in a single competition.
I loved the video hope to see more of it in the future.
Alina Zagitova is so underrated. She does a lot of these elements that she does properly (e.g. the tano... God those helicopters by other skater looks so forced... no wonder they’re losing jumps when they got trained to use their arms instead of legs for jumps)
Yeah, I’d rather they not even attempt a Tano than do it with their arm in that awkward-looking helicopter position. IMHO it looks sloppy.
Me: knows nothing about figure skating
Also me: look hanyu yuzuru
Friendly Tip:
Allow the text to run 2 sec BEFORE you start the video clip so the viewer isn't having to read the text at the exact same time that the described skill is being performed. Which causes the viewer to constantly "rewind" after reading in order to actually watch the skill.
Other than that, I really enjoy watching your videos 👍
The Biellmann spin is not the only spin named for a skater. Dorothy Hamill invented the Hamill Camel, a Camel spin that drops into a sit spin.
But the hamil camel is not the official name
@@galapagosediting3571 what is the official name for the Hamill Camel, then?
@@DawnDavidson its just a combination i think
@@galapagosediting3571 Several of these were not official names. What's your point?
Sasha Cohen's spirals are still the best ever.
Those helicopter tanos are such eye sores. If you are gonna do it just do it properly, if you can't leave it to people who can, damn
Hello? You could not touch her and the girls are still mad about it. I was very disappointed as a kid thinking that other skaters could compare not realizing it wasn't fair.
Günay Muradova it’s not a helicopter tanos....it’s the crooked arm position that it’s being placed above the head. Tanos isn’t something that is recognized in the dictionary.
Sasha never attempted the ‘crooked’ arm hook just because it’s unappealing and it can create stress on the overhead arm. Mao Asada did her’s straight up as to create an illusion of extension. And the helicopter tano isn’t what the crooked arm overhang is described as. Also the crooked overhead arm makes the airborne spin look choppy. Maybe it’s better to do it as a combo spin instead of attempting it with a jump.
Günay Muradova Amen and amen!
@@annecohen8927 I think there are actually skaters who can't do their jumps without tanos or rippons. Because their technique relies too heavily on the elevation of their arms giving them the momentum they need to complete the jumps. Not naming any names.
Aside from the spin that bears her name, Denise Biellmann is also credited with being the first woman to land the triple lutz in competition (she did it in 1978).
Yuzuro have countless clips in this..
im one of his fans🙌💕
Every time I saw Yuzu I just smiled.
1:48 your nervous system when you accidentally hit your toe
I would love to learn this sport but unfortunately in my city there isn't a chance
Same 😞

I think it's time for a sequel video. When you mention the Salchow, you should also note the first woman to perform a double jump (which was a Salchow) was Ceclila Colledge. She is also credited with inventing the camel and layback spin as well as the one-foot axel and the catch-foot camel, sometimes called the half-Biellmann. The flying camel used to be called the Button camel, named after Dick Button who invented it, and of course the version of that maneuver, the Hamill camel invented by Dorothy Hamill needs a mention. Caroline Zhang had an unusual backbend variation to the layback spin, she named the Pearl which merits being added. The Walley jump is credited to figure skater, Nate Walley, however its origin is disputed and sometimes is called the Pat Low jump in Europe (named after a Scot who is also credited with inventing the jump).
I think you don't understand the main point of this video. It lists the moves that were named after the skaters. Not BY the skaters or who was first to perform something.
@@koalapayslater If you watched the video through, you'd note there were instances in which skaters (who were not credited with inventing a move named after them) were cited who performed specific maneuvers (such as mentioning Midori Ito doing the "Rippon" arm positioning in her jumps before he was born). I was merely making suggestions, and providing additional information for the edification of the creator of the video.
@@koalapayslater true, but i think their idea for a sequel video makes sense
I loved the Harding's ina bauer into triple flip
And you didnt put hardings triple axel, wow
Yeah, this wasn't intended to be a complete list of all the triple axels done by women- I have a separate video for that. That's why Liza, Tonya, etc's 3A's weren't in the video.
Also, ina bauer is one of my favorite jump transitions, I wish more people would do it for jumps other than a double axel! Jun Hwan Cha used to do a lovely ina bauer into triple loop.
when did she perform ina into triple flip? i dont remeber that!
@@hannibaljustincase9985 1991 skate América long program
@@ivanlavouras thanks so much for reminding me about this, just watched, and I agree, beautiful triple flip
@@hannibaljustincase9985 it was part of all her programs until the 92-,93 season. I'm not sure why she took it out, the judges seemed to like it too.
Sorry but Axel Paulsen was Norwegian NOT German, he even had one of the most popular Norwegian surnames!🤦🏼♀️
Whoops you're totally right, not sure how I missed that 😅
Well.. Paulsen is a German surname too
@@m3lodr4matic Are you sure it isn't just Nerwegian ancestry, though? Like, we have quite a few Schmidts in Denmark, but no one would ever claim Schmidt was a Danish surname.
@@SigartUh what? I just said Paulsen is also common in Germany.
@@Sigart Paulsen is a (north) german surname. I think it is a coincidence that it is also a norwegian surname. - SEN is the northern german form of forming a patronym. -SON is the scandinavian form. The name Paulsen is as german as Hansen, Jansen, Petersen. It could also be norwegian, just because the name is the same, doesnt mean it couldnt have two different origins. There are english Lees and korean Lees. So there is no "claiming"
Kim Yuna as a perfect example for Lutz jump (7:55)😍😍😍😍😍😍
I often forget how difficult these actually are, I can't even touch my toes 😂 They make it look so easy
It's unfair that the ones who created some movies doesn't have the recognition but the ones who made it popular
Where is surya bonaly backflip! That was amazing to see when she first did it on the ice.
In a nutshell:
Edge Jumps : Loop (outside edge), Axel (forward flat edge), and Salchow (inside edge)
Toe Jumps: Toe Loop, Flip, and Lutz
Simplest Jump: Toe Loop
Hardest Jump: Axel
This was great, thanks! As a former competitive figure skater, it was really fun to learn about the people who invented the jumps!
I dont know why im binge watching skating videos but hands down they are interesting 🙄
Yuna canel spin ♥️
J ちゃん 재희짱 몇초쯤에나오나요?
@@hamnatalie9865 안나오는데 추가로 제가 그냥 적어본거요 ㅠ ㅋ
@@asiacheetah1010 Biellmann also didn't invent the bielmann spin
I agree, it should have been here in my opinion hehe
This video is showing the skaters whose name was given to an element. This video is not about who invented an element or about who is best as performing an element :)
Adeliya Petrosyan is the first woman, who jumped a quadruple loop! Hi from Russia 🇷🇺❤️
That move should be named after Midori Ito who would've skated circles around Rippon and she would've looked really good while doing it! Oh please! Elvis Stojko, Ilya Kulik & Alexei Urmanov executed the quad lutz back in the 1990's. A few others did it later too.
I believe Stojko, Kulik and Urmanov executed quad toe-loops in competitions, not quad Luts. I read Urmanov practiced 4S though.
I wonder who was the 1st skater ever that landed a quad in a competition, maybe Kurt Browning’s 4T?
Kulik was the 1st skater to win an Olympic gold w a 4T in 1998 Nagano. Other skaters had done in other competitions, but not in OG.
According to Wikipedia, Stojko first landed a 4T in combination, which was a 4T-2T in 1991. Years later, he also landed the first 4T-3T combo.
So in 90s top skaters were doing 4Ts, then Goebel and other skaters landed 4S.
I called the Charlotte spiral the lever hold, the Kerrigan spiral the arabesque, the biellmann the needle spin and it's less flexible cousin the scorpion spin, the entry of the fly change spin a flic flac, and the leg hold spin a Y spin, though some like Kamila turn it into an I spin. I invent weird names for these things, some coming from gymnastics or dance
This is really an amazingly good video. Thank you
Zagitova has one of the best Tanos and Rippons, always with a great extension of the arms
Marta 🙄
We are still in awe when it's done today..can you imagine how the audience reacted to this back then?..👏👏
5:51 *cough Medvedeva *cough
da96103 😂
No one did the Charlotte spiral better than Sasha Cohen. If you're going to do a move that requires your legs to be in the split position, then you need to do a full 180° split. That means your legs should be in a vertical line. If you don't have that kind of flexibility, then you shouldn't do it. It just looks sloppy otherwise.
Well, the creator of that move, Charlotte Orlschlagel, never did her spiral in a full split. Heck, neither did Denise Biellmann in 1980, LOL
It was fun to see some of my all-time favorite skaters in the compilation! These were well-chosen clips. :)
1:57 i would like to point out that that is NOT a beillman. it is a catch foot done on the opposite foot
I love how this gave us a great history of skating and who did the elements first. Enjoyable to watch!
As successful as the Soviets/Russians have been in the sport, I am surprised there are no elements named after them!
Besti squat
So wonderful getting an insight into this beautiful sport. Thank you
thank you you put so much work into this video, not to mention all the clips but i'm pretty sure Axel Paulsen was Norwegian, not German
Nice touch, ending it with Yuzu's LGC 4Lo.
I dont even see the difference in some of the jumps but its nice to appreciate this art
Beautiful explanation and documentation of the jumps!
In Artistic Roller Skating, a Toe Loop is sometimes called a Mapes, named after the guy who invented it.
Вращение Бильман раньше делала Тамара Москвина в паре с Мишиным, но это, увы, осталось незамеченным.
Ну почему же, они указали на её первое исполнение (1:18) "Biellman: Believed to have been first performed by Tamara Moskvina in 1965". А популяризирован и получил широкое распространение несколько позднее, фигуристкой из Швеции.. Так же как и с "Риппоном", который впервые исполнила японка.

You left out the Hamill Camel - a flying camel that drops into a sit spin with the toe pick used to accelerate the sit spin. She performed the camel from a layover position with her hands at her head instead of extended.
I think it's terrible that people have actually created these moves but haven't been able to get the recognition that they deserve but other people have by using this persons move, to which it gets named after the latter because they made it famous...really not fair.
I love ice skating with a passion and brings tears to my eyes as I would watch it as a child with so much attention and passion and reminds me of when I would watch it with my mum as a child.
My mum past when I was 17 and its been 18 years she past just gone so it's hard to realise she has been gone more then she has been alive for me...just a bitter pill to swallow unfortunately.
I read the thumbnail and thought to myself "einsteinium", and then I wondered why there's a bunch of ice skaters next to the text.
Ok, I really like this! : )
not an element but backloading should be called Zagitova rule considering no one can do it anymore lol
it's already called Zagitova rule
Thank you for the fascinating video!
The move of 3loop3loop should be the Lipinski Loops.Few can still do it and she was the first in National,World and Olympic Competition to do it.She was also a National World and Olympic Champion
Amazing! Very much educational! Thank you!!
Watching the videos about the jumps I was plenty confused about the Loop jump and why I never heard that... go figures, we call it Rittberger in my country too. XD
2022 update:
- Quad Axel landed by Ilia Malinin (USA)
- Quad Loop landed by Adeliya Petrosyan (Russia)
Thanks a lot for this video.
I Love it and it is very helpfull for me to get close, understand and finally feel more when I watch this beautifull sport.
All i can see is they jump and spin...i cant see any differences. :(
Obviously im not an athlete. >_
It's so sad Yuna's camel spin is not here, or clips showing like the tano she did in the Olympics or her beautiful jumps like the Lutz or the shalcow, she has really an amazing technique, beautiful to watch :')
Her salchow was actually her weakest jump besides 3Lo. She had timing problems on this jump
@@koalapayslater I'm sorry but I can't believe that since all the experts praised her salchow, her 3lo was also good but she stopped using it because of her back problems, but not because she was weak in technique with that jump, if anything she had problems with her flip in her first years, but not with the loop and less with the shalcow, at least I tell you with full honesty that you are the first person in all this years (that is not a hater of course) that have said that so it's really hard to believe. Yuna is one of the very few skaters that I have ever seen and knew how to do a salchow, I mean that looked that a salchow, elegant and with the right entry, a lot of skaters make a salchow but looks almost like a loop, I don't know the entry looks weird, I miss seeing a beautiful salchow, but oh well
@@aracelichely2954 Well, there are two 3S techniques and Yuna had a scooping technique on her 3S. Yuna's tech was okay, although, she had some issues with it what caused her to underrotate it from time to time. the-real-xmonster.tumblr.com/post/178160822974/hi-you-once-said-that-yuna-had-a-recurring Here it's explained quite well. I'm not sure how 3S can look like 3Lo for you since those have totally different mechanics but nevermind. Nowadays ladies with good 3S are among others Sakamoto, Medvedeva or Kihira.
Idk but salchow but yuna's best jumps are lutz and flip. These jumping machines nowadays cant even do a proper lutz. They just rely on their tanos 🙄🙄🙄
The first-ever qualified quad at a ladies' international event was Elizabet Tursynbaeva's!
Biellman is my favourite spin❤
Where's the Sasha spin?!?!?!?! That one's my favorite spin to do!!!
Interesting video, thank you!
Thank you sharing this.
Fun to the the orgins of the moves :)
The video is educational and esthetic. Nice you included Kamila there
Why there are any Yuna Kim's performances? seriously it is the legend..
Didn't know that move was considered a Kerrigan spiral, always thought it was a popular move and didn't have a specific inventor.
Fantastic education video! So well done and professional. Bravo!
Triple Axel.....'' Where is Tonya Hardding!?? ''
Please add YUNA spin❤
need something to be named after King Yuzuru,.. 🥰
There's a spin called Hanyu spin, but it's an unofficial name. I think we should start saying Hanyublade for hydroblade or Hanyu axel for back counter 3A or twizzle sandwich 3A... Oh, and Hanyu spiral for the iconic backwards sit spiral he does in Notte Stellata :)
Stumbling upon this video after Ilia just landed quad axel for the first time ever🤯
I forgot to mention one figure skater who should be placed here....Rory Flack. She was actually the first woman figure skater to do the Russian split.
The "Hamill Camel".
Seyfert's "3loop" was landed forward after 2.5 revolutions, so I wouldn't give her credit as the first woman to land a 3loop.
I was also expecting the Hamill Camel. What gives?
Michelle Kwan's signature spiral. ❤️
Great video!
Cool channel ❤ thanks for the knowledge
can someone tell me the name of the skater at 0:40?
i read it's alena kostornaia!
