The six basic jumps split into two families by how the free foot moves at takeoff, and once you spot that, you can also read what underrotation, downgrade, and GOE marks are actually doing to the score.

From upright spins to spread eagles, what separates the best programs isn't rotation speed โ it's how still the axis stays and how closely the choreography breathes with the music.

Ranked not by golds, but by what each skater made possible for everyone who came after.
