Title: Skating Showdown!
Post by: FigureSpins on April 08, 2011, 10:11:54 AM

Interesting idea: what skaters would you like to see "face off" against each other in a special skating challenge?

I saw that Lucinda Ruh is guest-hosting at a show next week in New Jersey.  She holds the World Record for most rotations on one foot (without barfing/Katie Couric joke) - 105 revolutions!  (I never realized it was a back scratch spin.)

Later, I watched the Detroit/Alissa Czisny promo clip on YouTube

And I thought "I'd love to see a spin showdown between Ruh and Czisny.  Not just speed and revs, but style, too!"
"Czisny vs. Ruh: Spin Showdown."

What skaters would you like to see face off on the ice?
Note: One pairoff at a time, please, no essays.

It'd be so cool to see Joannie Rochette and Yuna Yim. They're so gracious.
