Triple Flip and the Olympics

[cosmicstarr]

Maybe there's a "Jinx of the Triple Flip" with Michelle and the Olympics.

In Nagano, there was that slight wobble in the 3 Flip landing in an otherwise beautiful LP.

In SLC, there were problems with the 3 Flip in the short and long program.

Now, here's the 3 Flip again causing problems in the practice.

It's unfortunate, because in recent years, that jump has become one of her best.

Here's hoping she pulls it together and shows us those beautiful 3 Flips that we know she's capable of....

It's just one practice. As far as the triple flip is concerned, it just hit me - she may have had trouble on three of her Olympian triple flip attempts, but let's not forget, she landed two of them.

she'll get the flips out of the way now, so that they won't be an issue 2 weeks from now:)

She's not the only skater who's had 3flip problems at the Olympics. Irina Slutskaya messed up her 3flip at the 2002 Olympics and Scott Hamilton singled his 3flip at the 1984 Olympics.
