Pairs Throw Axel Update
No, we haven’t landed it yet! But soon… I hope.
My pairs partner I took a break from some of the more difficult pairs elements over the summer since we were intensely focused on the ISU competition in October. Now that the event is in our rearview mirror, we were able to shift our strategy.
We revisited the throw axel and asked our harness coach to help us with the element. After ~25 minutes of some OK attempts (and some with failed landings), we finally got a good one on video. Our timing was spot on, and the trajectory of the jump was good.
Keeping our fingers crossed that we will get this off the harness soon!
