When you dip the finger to the powder, it forces the product all the way back to the cuticle area. So you have to come down flat or at a certain angle or you have to scoop it with your finger. With this method, you simply brush it on and pour it on top; you get a more even application when you pour instead of dip.â.
It has been more than 25 years since Canadian figure skating legend Kurt Browning landed the first quadruple jump in competition. Now the jump is essentially mandatory for elite men's competitors. It begs the question: if skaters can complete four revolutions in the air â is it possible to add a fifth? The idea of a quintuple jump even being a possibility draws mixed opinions from the Canadian figure skating community.
Nowadays, skaters spend three or four hours on the ice and do the rest of their preparation off the ice. They begin mastering the difficult jumps from a young age. Ito was also the first woman to compete a triple-triple jump combination back in 1982, when she was just a junior skater. Both of her featsâthe triple-triple combo and the triple axelâremain the outer limit of jumping difficulty when it comes to women's figure skating.
