The Camel Spin is an aesthetically tricky spin, since it is slower than 'tighter' spins and it is meant to showcase great extension and beautiful positions. Soooo many ugly camel spins come to my visual horizon, but who really excels and brings something innovative to that aspect?
*Is it possible to see a full 'arabesque penchée' kind of position while camel-spinning, adding amplitude to the mix?
*Is it possible to see a vertical bent-over camel, à la rhythmic gymnastics?
*So far, who do you think are the skaters with the most beautiful camel positions in history? I go first, and nominee John Curry: his line is second to none.
