@qvivzc: kamila uses the rippon technique (arms over her head) partly to help stabilize her jumping axis, especially on her triple axel. she has explained that jumping with her arms up helped her keep the jump more upright instead of tilting to the side. #kamilavalieva #figureskating #olympics #IceSkating #eterigirls

⋆.🌟🌀 francesca 🌀🌟.⋆ :

is it just me but i prefer the crossed arm jumps,

mazzystar :

its because her technique is unreliable without the rippon

Aglaé_rgx :

Yeah cause rippon help with the axis which was kamila weak point

Mina :

The only jump she could do without rippon was a 3Loop

Would’ve been even more unstoppable during the 2015-2018 era where u got more goe for rippon arms

@некст⁷ :

потому что без рук не способна ось удержать, а иногда даже руки вверх не спасают

Lea 💋 :

Cause of her technical issues when she brings her arms in the standard cross it throws her off axis, so it’s was if both shoulders are up and more squared

🦊 :

now at 20 it looks like she is more stable with crossed arms

Aylin-figure.skates. :

wait I’m actually the same but I can do both! 😭 Rippon is so fun to do but crossed arms is so interesting.

Jack :

Still waiting for that unexpected message. 💯

каждый раз молится, чтобы ось сильно не слетела

zara g 👾 :

Even if she lands a jump with crossed arms it always felt so unstable for me

Ok :

I hate the way she opens her arms so early during the 3lo

Maya :

i prefer the crossed arms the rippon is just so rough to move for me

G0ldenF3ather :

ngl rippons are hard to execute, for me atleast

😉⛸️ :

For me rippon jumps are so much easier

nova ✴️❇️ :

yeah cause the crossed arms throw off her axis
