In both short and long programs at both Skate Canada and Cup of China Maria did split twists w/her arms above her head. Looked great, neat trick, and also it keeps Alexei from possibly getting an elbow in the puss. At GPF, though, they didn`t do it at all.

   I`m asking all you in the group if you`ve ever seen any other team do it or is it original.

BTW, I don`t mean for it to appear as though I think it`s easy. I doubt it is.
