Yuna-Ina Bauer into an Axel jump
Biellmann-Biellmann
Hanyu & Midori- Axel jump out of a counter
Yuna-Yuna camel (I've said this before and I'll say it again- never realised how difficult and how under-appreciated that move was before she retired until I had to be exposed to the wonky iterations of that move from other skaters. :eek:hwell:)

Layback into an axel? Is that even possible? Did you mean Ina Bauer - Double Axel?

Agreed!!! Yuna's camel spin variation is under-appreciated. It must be really harsh on her back though. I remember seeing Kovtun attempt Yuna's camel spin. It was a tragedy.

Toller Cranston : Russian splits

Jason Brown: the only current skater whose splits are “Toller Cranston good”.

Of course, their spins aren’t too shabby either ;)

Flash from the past

Underhill and Martini - forward inside death spiral
Hamill - while not an element, per se, my favorite thing about her was her carriage - I've never seen one better.
Yagudin - footwork

Anissina/Peizerat - lifts where Marina lifts Peizerat
Shibutani/Shibutani - twizzles
Savchenko/Massot - delayed exit twist
Julia Lipnitskaya - I-spin
Hanyu - counter-3A and layback Ina Bauer
Shoma Uno - cantilever
Wakaba Higuchi - besti squat
Jonathan Cassar- spreadeagle
Surya Bonaly - backflip

And I agree about Evgenia - that slidespin with her leg up is very characteristic of her.

Brian Boitano has already been mentioned, but his death drop was pretty spectacular too. And going back even further, Torvill and Dean's "train footwork" was considered so iconic that they reworked their comeback 1994 LP to incorporate it at the Olympics.

I know most people think of Julia Lipnitskaya's spins first, but I've always loved her ina bauers.
