Surprisingly, there aren't a lot of skills or elements in figure skating that are actually named after the person who invented them!
I tried to include footage of the actual inventor performing the skill, but in some cases I wasn't able to find any.
* There are also some unofficial regional terms for these and other skills, such as the Ina Bauer being referred to as Shizuka Arakawa's move in Japan or Yuna Kim's move in Korea.
** Additionally, there are also more unofficial terms for some specific spin positions, such as Adelina Sotnikova's signature camel variation or Yulia Lipnitskaya's hyperextended Biellmann, but I did not include those in the video since they aren't widely used terms.
