I don't remember Belbin Agosto missing one set before 2006 OG, maybe at 2003 US nationals OD or FD.ĭelobel Schoenfelder had crazy twizzles but they were so difficult they would often miss them partially. I didn't follow them closely enough to say about VM but Belbin Agosto had very good ones for their time and moreover they would rarely miss them unlike Kostomarov. Because theirs would give an even bigger impression. Later when I saw V/M ones I remembered this. ![]() Their 2002 FD starts with twizzles on both feet and directions.ĭelobel Schoenfelder had awesome twizzles because very difficult.Ģ004 Merlin (sadly you don't see their feet at the begining, the whole event coverage being sometimes bad)īelbin Agosto were the most reknown because of their twizzles right from the begining of their senior career. Rewatching them, I think they might have played a part in the bronze decisions, he has a misteps on them.Īnissina Peizerat also had. They tried at the begining of the 2001-02 season another variation : ![]() She does some other twizzles on her own during the program, more difficults. I liked them more in their OD first step sequence. I remember BK 2001 FD twizzles, on one foot and in the same direction. It's funny when you watch some performances from the 80s and 90s how the audience oohs and aahs and claps for the simplest little tricks that the skaters do, some of which would be considered mere transitions today! For instance, R&K's Valse Triste, though beautiful, now seems like a slow borefest compared to even some junior dances this year! Their quickstep - the original Finnstep - on the other hand seems like a preview of what has since happened in the sport. I don't know whether it's a coincidence but the advent of the element seems to coincide with general increase of speed in ice dancing. The twizzle, although it is just one element, makes a huge difference. Recently I watched a few old performances by Rahkamo and Kokko just to see if I used to like them as a kid just because they were Finnish or because they actually were that good (for the most part, they were!), and though they were awesome, it is incredible how far ice dancing has come as a sport! It has to be the one discipline that has made the most progress without sacrificing any quality, consistency or artistry. Although I remember sort of following it before - partly because Rahkamo & Kokko were such celebrities in Finland in the 90s - I never got chills from it like I do now watching D&W and V&M perform. I became an ice dancing fan this past year really. ![]() I gotta say I was very very surprised to see that according to Wikipedia, twizzles were first performed or invented as late as 1991 ! Does anybody know any history of the element? I'm especially interested in how it came to be such an integral part of ice dancing. I was doing some off-season wikiwalking and came across the entry for the Twizzle. Hi everyone! I'm looking for some comments from ice dance enthusiasts especially ![]()
