Reading is Sexy

Lutz, flip, axel, what?

If you're not familiar with all the different kinds of jumps in figure skating NBC's website has a great section showing all the different kinds of jumps, complete with little videos of each jump. Also there's a guide to the new scoring system and a glossary of terms you may not know (as Craig said during ice dancing, "Twizzle? Isn't that a type of candy?")

It's a good site.

Thank you very much, that was the exact sort of thing I was looking for. All those terms had my head spinning!
OK, you don't know me, but I came here randomly. I just spent about 2 minutes watching your Lilo/Paris icon. That is hilarious!! Thanks for giving me the biggest laugh this week!

:D
Haha, thanks. I love that icon. It was made by the LJ user televisionism -her icons are always the best.
А как вам российские фигуристы? На Олимпиаде была интересная история в женской подкатегории. Неоднозначная победа, но все финалистки очень достойные. Плющенко выступил великолепно. Да и о Булгакове, кстати, можно поговорить. Вот, взгляните, если очень удивлены моим сообщением: http://community.livejournal.com/brathertodd/profile .
