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.
Itâs tempting to get carried away by thinking about the possibilities. Itâs also easy to forget there is still work to be done on the quad. According to the International Skating Union, there are three quad jumps â the quad flip, quad loop and quad Axel â that have not been successfully landed in competition. Quad flips and quad loops have been attempted, but they were not recognized as the skater either didnât land cleanly or under-rotated.
