Yeah, that's a toe tap!

One of my coach's pupils is a young Frenchwoman who is here to learn English as well as to skate - she is going back at the end of May (I'm hoping she'll at least visit us at the Mountain Cup, although she has no plans to skate there). Anyway, today she was working on back progressive runs with our coach, and asked him what this move was called in English - whereupon he spent about 5 minutes explaining what the Americans call them, what the British call them, what else they were known as....... finally, we settled on "runs", since that is the nearest equivalent of the French "courus".

By the end of the session, I am usually working on double toe or double flip, so I try to get one last good one done before I get off. If I can't do a good one, I will do a big axel or double salchow; it helps boost my confidence!
