LUTZ PREROTATION COMPETITION!! // who prerotates the most? 

RANKING (least PR to most PR) 0.25 - WAKABA HIGUCHI 0.25 - ALIONA KOSTORNAIA 0.25 - ELIZAVETA TUKTAMYSHEVA 0.25 to 0.5 - MANA KAWABE 0.25 to 0.5 - MARIAH BELL 0.25 to 0.5 - KSENIIA SINITSYNA 0.25 to 0.5 - MAI MIHARA 0.5 - YELIM KIM 0.5 - AMBER GLENN 0.5 - EUNSOO LIM 0.5 - ALEXANDRA TRUSOVA 0.5 - LOENA HENDRICKX 0.5 - YOUNG YOU 0.5 - MAIIA KHROMYKH 0.5 - KAORI SAKAMOTO 0.5 to 0.75 - DARIA USACHEVA 0.5 to 0.75 - ANNA SHCHERBAKOVA 0.75 - ALYSA LIU 0.75 - KAMILA VALIEVA

God bless Tuktamisheva! I feel like back in the day she used to compete in an era where they used to teach tecnique more properly. She was competing with Yuna, Mao, Caro, Akiko, Wagner...

This happens when you value speed of rotation more than height of the jump. It doesn’t get penalized so the technique becomes rampant.

kosto and tuktamysheva are less than 0.25 Very good job

I knew Valevia and Liu would be up there. Scherbakova too... They aren't real quads, people. Only Sasha can do a real quad.

Another problem with a lot of these skaters is I’m seeing a whole bunch of FLUTZ’S but not really any LUTZ’S. A majority of them go from the backwards outside left edge right to the inside edge right before they take off! That makes the jump a flip which, if you are an elite competitive figure skater, you know is actually a downgraded difficulty jump from the Lutz. The flip jump is below the Lutz by one spot. 🤦🏻‍♀️BRING BACK PATCH!!!!!!!!!! ♾ PLEASE!!!!!!

Aliona’s and Liza’s pure toe tap ❤️❤️

Kami’s basically doing a double lutz if u rewatch it.

The height of Kamila’s “triple” lutz is lower than Midori Ito’s double flip :-D!!!!

The toe pick boot should ideally hit the ice at an angle no greater than 45 degrees (0.125), and by the time it rotates to 90 degrees (0.25), everything should begin to lift off. Kamila's 3Lz becomes an overrated 2Lo. She starts off with the naturally unavoidable 0.25 pre-rotation, but instead of lifting off, that's merely the angle of her boot when the toe pick *begins* to hit the ice. Her weight then shifts onto the full front outside-edge of the blade (bad) and spins another 0.5 revolutions (even worse) before actually lifting off the ice. This turns the jump into a double loop, because at the moment of lift off, the original skating foot is now the free foot crossed over the toe-pick-turned-outside-edge-spinning skating foot, and she rotates for 2.25 revolutions. Not her fault though, and the ISU tacitly allow judges to overlook these deficiencies prejudicially.

God I miss Yuna Kim.

Prerotation is not penalized by judges, simply because Judges can not see it when skaters took off the ice, because of the speed. Yuzuru Hanyu has already studied how judges can't see it in his thesis at Waseda. Unlike Yuna Kim, whose jumps were almost always textbook jumps, nowadays many skaters take advantages of the judges' inability to recognize it in order to get higher scores by increasing speed of the jumping. Then, another consequence of such a high-speed jumping was visible, not in the eyes of judges, but in the actual eyes of ice workers: which is the size of holes and number of squid marks left on the ice after skaters finish their performances. For those skaters who followed the textbook technique of jumps, the PR score is relatively lower than other skaters who "manipulate" the blind-spot of judges to get higher scores.

Thank you. This just shows how much of a farce the whole point-based judging system has become. The fact that Valieva was expected to win OG with technique this bad shows that the sport and its judging need yet another overhaul. A Lutz shouldn't have more than about a quarter turn of pre-rotation; no woman should yet have been given credit by the ISU for landing a quad Lutz, because, in terms of how the jump should be performed, none has (there are plenty of men, including the first to have the jump ratified who are guilty of this cheat as well). I could go on and on, but I would happily go back to the days where elements were performed with perfect technique rather than rampant use of incorrect technique to ostensibly perform the most difficult elements.

sasha is the only eteri girl that can actually land a quad. it showed when she switched to train with plushenko

Isn’t excesive prerotation bad for their backs?

Valieva is amazing artistically because she doesn't have to train or worry about jumps lmao

Really missing Yuna right now😔

Nothing will ever happen until the ISU lets the judges look at these jumps in slow motion. Currently, jump reviews are done at regular speed only.

We love to see those excessively pre-rotated full blade lutz! 💕

Missed you a lot. Great you're making videos again)

The Rippon hands allow them to prerotate as much as 270° easily.

Of course the empress liza has great technique

Queen Aliona as always

Hi owner of this channel hope you are doing well i love your videos like crazy and i really appreciate your sense of humor you got me every time when you edit with people from 'a reality TV show 😂 I hope you will come back "soon" I really want you to continue to share your editing skills and your knowledge of figure skating with us, for me it's a big joy and i leaned so much, thank u ❤❤❤

Kostornaia’s doesn‘t look prerotated to me.

Some of the skaters mask their excessive prerotation with a rippon or a tano. what's disappointing is that not only do the judges give them a free pass, they even reward them for it. and whatever happened to edge calls on flutzes?

Respect to Kostornaya

Thank you so much for this.

Technical Panel - SHAME on YOU!

Kpop + figure skating is an iconic combination.

Wow...some egregious technique here.

My three faves having only 0.25 uwu

Eteri's gilrs left the chat...

as usual kamila wins

valieva's jump here 🫣

I love this

I miss Tonya Harding’s lutz jumps!!!

Rules committee: Some of these skaters have done a complete rotation before the takeoff!

Luztamysheva 🤗 Fakemila Prerrolieva

Liza and Sasha ♥️♥️

The should redefine lutz jump right the long back running edge into the inside edge take off again like the early 90s.

Kamila quads are 1/4 on the ground.

A lot of those arent pre-rotation! If your on your toe, springing up, that isn't pre-rotation unless it goes on too long.

Conclusion: Sasha is the best

Heart b b b beat ♪

Eteri's girls are the most overrated girls, specifically in jumps. The choreo and the spins are truly impressive. Always. But the scoring is not fair. Trusova didn't begin with Eteri team whether not Plushenko. That's why she performs better than Anna in jumps. Eteri wouldn't allowed that her junior student (Anna) lose against Trusova Trusova is the only girl who performs a quad using her pick, a moderate edge and .50 of prerotation

Sasha and Liza best❤

Everybody drops blade on ice

Probably Kamila and Anna.

Blabo valieva🎉

Камила маскирует плохие выезды (нет, прыжки, технику прыжков) своей прекрасной, исключительной растяжкой 😊

Nika zhilina is very good

It’s ridiculous. Anyone can see that scherbakova and valieva so called quad jumps are barely triples. Neither even land a triple axel yet do these so called quad jumps which are not even quads, they are triples. It’s so disgusting to see it slow motion just how much they are cheating and the judges are forced to turn a blind eye.

Лиза самая чистая

откуда вы выкопали этот тройной лутц Камилы? Да, один раз может быть такое чтобы преротейшн был больше 180°, но во всех остальных прокатах, преротация в прыжках стабильно меньше 180, что в пределах нормы

I'm sure ISU would be educated about pre rotation that doesn't exist in the official rulebooks they've created. Imaginary rules vs ISU rules. 😂😂😂

A lot of Flutz on top of pre-rotations LMAO

Егер конькимен сырғанауды үйренсем мен де Камила сияқты секіре алам) Рахат қой, мұзда айналасың да, "мен бір айналым секіре аламын!" деп мақтануға болады) Cheater

Валиева - королева грибов и преротации 🤢

It seems like all people in comment section used to training olympics champions…

Massive bitterness here :D

Shcherbakova y Valieva 0,75? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 That’s was a good joke!!!
