Michelle's jumping technique does not suck.I have been figure skating since I
was thirteen years old and progressed very fast. She has always been my
favorite skater and I have always studied her techinque.She has always been
consistent technically and artistically.She has also down triple triple
combinations
more than once.Usually it's the triple toe loop , triple toe loop.She's won
seven national titles and four or five world titles.She could not have won those
if her jumping technique sucked.Lol.The year she competed against Tara in the
winter Olympics she only lost by a tenth of a point. The reason why Tara beat
her is because Tara did a triple loop , triple loop combination.She was the
only one who could do that combination.Loops and axles are both edge jumps
which makes them harder.You don't use that toe pick to vault with. Because Tara
was so tiny it made it easier for her to pull off suck a combination.


Please don't tell me that Michelle is not a good jumper. I have so many of
her national and world competitions recorded.She always keeps her body straight
and tight in there.When she jumps it's with ease and when she lands it's with
ease.She skates with power and speed yet she is light on her feet.She makes
the technical look very easy.Michelle and Tara are some of the most solid
jumpers ever.
People who need work on their jumping technique would be Sarah Huges and
Sasha Cohen.
