How about a thread on foot work

I watched the 94 olys lps today. I absolutely love Yuka's program.
IMO she skated the best lp that night. She finished her program
with a stretch of amazing f.w. it seemed like she started from a
virtual standstill and generated so much speed and quickness.

I think MK has excellent mastery of her edges, and very good
f.w. What do you think would take for her to get to Sato calibre?
I was very impressed with her fw in FOC, she started her straight
line fw from a standstill.

Also, anyone care to explain why serpetine fw is done so rarely,
and it considered the most difficult?

imo, the footwork masters are elvis, scott, & kurt. but yes, yuka is the best of the ladies. How do they do that?
