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.
The Axel can be a single Axel (1 and a half rotations in the air), a double Axel (two and a half rotations in the air), or a triple Axel (three and a half rotations in the air). Most junior and senior skaters do a double Axel. Many senior-level male skaters do a triple Axel. Only nine female figure skaters have done a ratified triple Axel in competition: Midori Ito (the first one to do it), Tonya Harding, Yukari Nakano, Ludmila Nelidina, Mao Asada (the first one to land three triple Axels in one competition), Kimmie Meissner, Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, Rika Kihira and Mirai Nagasu.
