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.
Canadian skater Vern Taylor was the first to land a triple Axel in competition at the 1978 World Figure Skating Championships. It has since become a standard jump for male competitors as well. The first women to land the jump in competition were Midori Ito (1989 World Figure Skating Championship) and Tonya Harding (1991 U.S. Figure Skating Championships). Yukari Nakano landed a triple Axel at Skate America in October 2002. Kimmie Meissner landed a triple Axel at the 2005 U.S. Figure Skating Championships, and Mao Asada became the first female skater to land two triple Axels in the same program at the 2005 Japanese Championships.
