Why are junior Russian girls attempting more quad Salchows than quad Toes? One explanation is that stopping the skating motion is "easier" with a Salchow than a toe pick. Interestingly, they all use the same jump technique and preparation—it’s the latest trend! When quads first appeared, it was the quad Toe, a tricky jump requiring high technical skill. We saw some skaters miss out on the momentum during the backward part. That's the same on qual Sal. Curious about more analysis in figure skating? Follow us for insights!

On March 23, American figure skater Ilia Malininn became the Men's World Figure Skating Champion. His free-skate received the highest score ever recorded in the history of figure skating. When he was asked what he was focusing on to perform at this level, Ilia's answer was deceptively simple: "I rely on my muscle memory." You and I may not be world-class athletes, but we each have our own muscle memory. That's our body's memory of how we show up at our finest, on any given day. Cultivate that memory. Step into it, on a great day and a not-so-great day. Trust your muscle memory to help you navigate the perhaps not-so-easy moments in life. Here is my latest 2-minutes Essentials video: KNOW YOUR MUSCLE MEMORY.

Steps before a jump... What is the purpose? Why is it important? Let's dive into a crucial aspect of figure skating that often gets overlooked: the steps leading into jumps. These steps aren't just about flair—they're fundamental for executing the perfect jump. To continue reading about this, click on the link below: https://lnkd.in/duA8EKiT

What does go-to-market strategy have in common with pairs figure skating? For one, marketing and sales (when done right) are inextricable. The best marketing is excellent client experience and results. The best sales is excellent results and client experience. Ice skating pairs spend most of their routine NOT doing the same thing, but neither could do what they were doing without the other. When they ARE doing the same thing, it's the synchronicity that is most impressive rather than the move itself. Usually one partner has launch-and-fling power, while the other has fly-and-land power. Neither is better or worse, and both are meaningless without the other in this event. My favorite example is the Shibutanis' ice dancing performance in the 2016 World Championships to the song "Fix You" by Coldplay. Do you have a favorite? If not, I'll add a handy Ms. Mojo video in the comments so you have a few to choose from. ;) Happy Friday everyone! #icedancing #sales #marketing #theyaskyouanswer

Future-proof ice skating facilities in the Netherlands!   On behalf of the Royal Dutch Skating Federation (KNSB), Hypercube has conducted an extensive study to identify the most promising locations for new ice skating facilities in the Netherlands.   The research goes beyond traditional 400-meter rinks, also exploring smaller ice rink variants, such as 30x60 meter rinks and other intermediate formats. These more accessible facilities play a vital role in strengthening the foundation of the Dutch ice skating pyramid.   Through a detailed analysis of population density, travel times, the current availability of ice skating facilities, and visitor data from existing rinks, the most promising locations have been identified.   The result? A clear overview of municipalities where new ice skating facilities could have the greatest impact: ✅ Locations expected to attract the highest number of visitors. ✅ Locations projected to contribute the most to overall growth in ice skating participation.   A key finding of this research is illustrated in the accompanying graphic, which highlights areas with the highest anticipated number of ice skating visits following the establishment of a new 400-meter rink facility.   Naturally, this research also focused on identifying locations that would avoid cannibalizing existing ice skating facilities.   #KNSB #IceSkating

### The 2002 Figure Skating Scandal: Ice Cold Controversy Hey everyone, Let’s take a spin through one of the biggest figure skating fiascos in Olympic history. The 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City had more drama than a soap opera, and here's the juicy scoop: 1. **The Main Event**: The pairs' figure skating competition was supposed to be a highlight. But instead of smooth glides and flawless routines, we got a mess. Russia snagged gold over Canada, even though many felt Canada had skated the better program. 2. **Judge, Judge, Who’s the Judge?**: The media wasn’t shy about calling foul. The spotlight hit French judge Marie-Reine Le Gougne. Rumor had it she was pressured into giving her vote to the Russians. 3. **Confessions and Backpedals**: When the Technical Committee's chair got in her face, Le Gougne reportedly confessed she'd been coerced. But then, she flipped and said she actually believed the Russians deserved to win. Confused yet? 4. **The Fallout**: No official probe into the scandal ever happened. But Le Gougne’s career took a nosedive. She was out of the judging game for good. 5. **The Bottom Line**: Salt Lake City’s games were full of drama, and the figure skating scandal left fans and athletes questioning the fairness of the competition. Stay tuned for more Olympic tales! #FigureSkatingScandal #SaltLakeCity2002 #OlympicDrama #IceSkating #GoldMedalFiasco #MarieReineLeGougne #JudgeGate #Olympics #SportsControversy #WinterGames
