What is that supposed to mean? People used to throw flutzes back then like crazy. Medvedeva, Osmond and Sakamoto didn't invent the uncalled flutz yesterday.
Caro didn't do a lot of lutzes in her days but when she did, they were beautiful. Deep outside edge with minimum prerotation and good air position. She is also unique that her flip was also clear inside edge while having minimum prerotation. Usually a strong lutz jumper struggles with flip inside edge (many have shallow inside or sometimes flat) and the one with deep inside has severe prerotation, but not with Caro. I can count how many skaters that have this traits and believe they're not many!
La regina è Carolina.. a real artist, gracious, powerful, humble. A skater who loves figure skating. Before the Free in Nice, when she won the World's, she said: "I don't skate for the medal. You have to skate with your heart. I will give the best of myself and then we will see".
She has one of the best jumping techniques in skating. The lutz in particular is notable for a strong outside edge, maintained throughout the entry of the jump, with almost no prerotation at all.
The judge became strict only with edge calling (plus DG/UR) after Torino oly 2006, but they and many FS fans ignored the entrance and the nature of each jump. Elements were chopped by slo-mo, frame-by-frame, and zooming-up. Kostner had strong outside edge approach into 3Lz, keeping the energy for counter rotation. On the other hand, she leaned her upper body on inside edge and utilized centrifugal force for 3F. She was the only female top skater, who was able to show the difference of 3Lz and 3F precisely at Sochi 2014. In addition to jumps, her skating skill was amazing. She kept the shape of jumps, spins, and skating speed throughout her long career. I am a huge fan of Midori Ito. Kostner is quite different type from Midori as a skater, and they are in different generation, but I love them both.
A proper flip needs to take off on a slight inside edge (straight line entry). The deeper the inside edge, the more pre-rotated it tends to be. So, your assertion that she was the only one to demonstrate the difference between a triple flip and lutz in Sochi is incorrect, because Yuna performed flawless triple flips and lutzes in that competition. The only thing more hideous than a flutz is a deep inside edge triple flip.
@@DeepSeas.. still 3F must have an inside edge takeoff and textbook toe jumpers usually indeed have slight inside and that's perfectly fine. However these skaters could also sometimes appeared to switch to flat at times. So IMO it's still better to have clear inside edge. Caro 3F is rare, she had clear inside edge while maintaining that minimum prerotation. The other skater I know of is Rika Kihira. Note the difference with deep inside edge with severe prerotation like Shoma Uno has, which IMO is so ugly
@@yohanes2034 I don’t know who started spreading this wrong information on flip jump: flatter is better. Slight inside edge is acceptable but not ideal. Real flip jump with clear inside edge is difficult to control and tends to be over-rotated, because the jump is realized by centrifugal force. Many of good Lutz jumpers do not rely on centrifugal force in their 3F. Hanyu admitted that he had edge issue on flip jump, that’s why he added many turns right before 3F take-off to keep slight inside edge, and never tried 4F. That change made 3F itself harder but minimized his edge issue. I respect his effort, even though he is not particularly my favorite. I love Sakamoto’s, Kostornaia’s, and Rippon’s 3F. The beauty of Caro’s Lz is that she approaches on outside edge, not only take-off. Quite many female skaters have long run-up on flat-to-inside edge to gain the speed, which is totally fine, as far as they take off on outside edge. I love Trusova’s 4Lz, too. But the very authentic(original) Lz has deep outside approach, like Caro does. The other best example I know of is a male skater Machida.
Both Carolina and Yuna deserved the top 2 spots on the podium. They both did lutzes and had proper technique on the other jumps, whereas Sotnikova's lutz was a floop (lutz --> flip --> loop) because of the prerotation and switching into an inside edge. One of her triple toes were more than a quarter underotated, it was so obvious other than to the judges and to the Russians
@@mht4908 I agree with you 100%. They were both ripped off because of the fact they were in Russia with 2 Russian judges and 1 cheater. How the wife of the director/president of the Russian figure skating association (not sure what they call it) ended up on the panel of judges is anyones guess. How was it that the lead technical judge was also Russian? How did a judge who cheated at the 1998 Olympics end up judging at another one? It was all fixed and I will always say that the ISU let everyone down by not doing their job. They should have stepped in and made things right.
Many of her dresses were designed by the worldwide known designer Roberto Cavalli who drew many creations for Carolina . She had such a long career where she could shows a lot of different styles .
Her best lutzes (imo):
0:23
1:57
4:20
4:58
5:50
4:20 one was the best
What a treat… the good old days when a lutz was a lutz
Nowadays my eyes hurt every time when i see shcherbakova’s so-called “Quad lutz” with 0 toe-pick assistance
Back when the judges were strict
Actually it depends on skaters not times. Look at sarah hughes or mao asada. They have incredibly edge proglem in this jump.
@@suihan1540 but I’m glad Mao finally got her outside-edged lutz in 2016 before retiring😌

Her luts and flip, are totally different jumps, both are textbook and amazingly beautiful.
The true textbook jumper!
Right!? She had such precise and crystalline technique!

There is something so appealing about a traditional leading edge into a lutz..
Just the way I do it 😊
one of my favorites... she's amazingly talented and a beauty
the best of the best
Her lutzs bring me back to life, slay me then bring me back to life again. Such a talented skater.

年齢を重ねてもジャンプが重くならない貴重な存在でしたね！
ソチのルッツが1番好きかな。
Majestically but softly pounces up in the air with perfect axis… definitely underrated from the Russian girls
Flutz? Pre-rotation? Full blade assist? Not her. Textbook jumps.
She does a textbook Lutz jump at the 2014 Olympics and finished third. Sotnikova did a flutz, got no edge call, and won the gold. What BS!!!

where are the difficult entrances for jumping?
In some way we could stress that her sensational speed + textbook technique is her difficult entry to any jump.
she is masterful at skating, but she has horrible taste in choosing her dresses
you say horrible taste, i say FASHION ICON🤩
Some dresses, yes.
I think for most cases she doesn't have much say in how her dresses should look like
I disagree. She's Italian. She's fashionable by nature
Many of her dresses were designed by the worldwide known designer Roberto Cavalli who drew many creations for Carolina . She had such a long career where she could shows a lot of different styles .
Вот мне она никогда не нравилась,незнаю почему
Это не фигурное катание
To od vás ani nikdo nečeká
