[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] So what is it? Some of you (poster above with the photos) are saying Americans can't land quads because you need big muscles to land them, but some of you are saying you need to be a waif to land quads like the Russian skaters.[/quote] I think so far it looks like that, but I don't see why it's true. Unless you need to be so light that you can get that much higher to rotate 4 times. But IMO the issue is our technique, not our skaters' sizes.[/quote] The Russians’ technique is leading to injuries and early retirement from the sport.[/quote] There are two techniques at play here, the curved entry technique does result in more strain on the back, but we see a lot of other athletes use it, including Nathan Chen. The Sambo 70 technique that leads to early retirement, involves a lot of malnutrition and restricting water, and I don't think anyone is advocating for that. [/quote]
