Other skaters can use it. She just did a short set up and didn't check around her. <br />(PS. I was at the opposite end of the rink and saw everything but too far away to do anything--it was fast. I think the other girl --BackSkater--may have been setting up a lutz too, but it wasn't from the usual angle.)<br />Babbette Duboisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05721808053479678691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679510245284968389.post-67500284622516277262014-01-19T15:30:49.774-05:002014-01-19T15:30:49.774-05:00"LutzGirl had the right of way to the lutz ci..."LutzGirl had the right of way to the lutz circle"<br /><br />There's your answer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5679510245284968389.post-63397135634773343112014-01-19T14:38:36.122-05:002014-01-19T14:38:36.122-05:00I say at this point it really doesn't matter w...I say at this point it really doesn't matter who's at fault, unless someone's planning on suing somebody. Everybody needs to take from this, however, that you need to be more aware of your surroundings, even if you might have right of way. Coaches, too. You can't just skate backward without looking periodically. And when you're setting up a lutz, you are looking behind you until you turn and set up the jump.

However, LutzGirl should have also seen at least the corner of Backward skater. In this case, the coach is also at fault for not saying something.<br /><br />If LutzGirl is a lefty, this is going to be an ongoing issue because everyone hangs out in the lefty lutz corner. If she's a righty, this is a case of neither skater knowing how to share the ice.<br /><br />Glad no one was hurt. I'm guessing LutzGirl hit Backward skater with her elbow and not her free leg.Skatecathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13584353013344184567noreply@blogger.com
