I would have to said Michelle, because Dick always said good back position.

[mk4ever]

Well Aztec262, i heard that jenny had the best sit spin,
but i have to agree with you, she's the best ever!!

jenny kirk does have a really good sit, probably in the top ten of skaters today, but it doesn't beat michelle's!!

[amandadupre]

I'd say Michelle; she has great positioning.

[MichelleKwanFanForever]

I've seen Jenny's also and I think it's really good :) But I still voted for Michelle!

[justsk8]

I definitely have to go with Michelle because her sit spin is centered and she ALWAYS :) has a perfectly straight back. It's never rounded or hunched or anythng like that. It is so beautiful to watch. Whenever I see a skater do a sit spin with poor back position I want to go out on the ice and correct them because it looks so much better! They've got to show new skaters Michelle when they're teaching a sit spin! :)

I said Michelle, for the same reason Splits said. She never has a rounded back or looks hunched over... her posture is excellent!

[AshBugg44]

This one was very easy for me.....Tara Lipinski!!!!!!!!!

[TaraFanatic4eva]

I agree, Tara

[camille2001]

definitly michelle; good posture;)

[hs sweeties]

I voted for Tara, but both Tara's and Michelle's are really terrific!

[peglewis]

Dorothy Hamill. (MK's is very much like Dorothy's)

[ba8iekisses]

other for nicole bobek...i love her centering and her bamboo;) straight legs

[3axel]

I agree, Nicole's is the best

I guess we need to define a sit spin and what makes one better than the other. I don't know the official requirements.

Back: Straight and perpendicular to the ice?

Freeleg: Bent or straight? Parallel to ice or not? Lower to the ice better or not? Is back position more important than free leg position?

Speed: I think we agree more speed is better.

Centering: I think we agree the less travel the better.
