Of course, you could do two triples in a row. That would save time...
...last week's World Championships, she was doing well, when, in the closing seconds of her two-minute short program, she fell while attempting a flying sit spin. She skated off the ice in a rage. Her coach, Peter Burrows, understood: "Elaine's routine was clean to the last move, and then she made a mistake...
