( Ailbhe Keogan wrote the script, which is intimate and human, albeit with a few indie-comedy quirks.) There's a clarity and purity to her features that makes her impossible to stop watching, and a smart and vivacious presence that makes her irresistible.ĭirector Steph Green, making her feature debut, gives Peake plenty of room to shine, but she's decent to all of her characters in this uncomfortable and constantly shifting scenario. Co-star Will Forte, as the visiting doctor, is the one you've heard of in the cast-he intriguingly expands his dramatic work post-" Nebraska"-but Peake steals the show. She is also the first and only female skater to compete with these four different jumps (including the salchow) in quad form.The primary source of these is the radiant Maxine Peake as the family's matriarch, Vanetia. In contrast, Trusova, who trains with Valieva, has quickly become the queen of quads she holds Guinness Records as the first female to successfully land the quad Lutz, the quad flip, and the quad toe loop jumps.

Liu has since grown several inches taller, which has affected her jumping, and she did not include a quad jump in her free program this season.
figure skater Alysa Liu became the first American woman to land a quad in competition in 2019, at a Junior Grand Prix event. It wasn’t until 2018 that Russian teen Alexandra Trusova, then 13, again landed a quadruple in competition-the quad toe loop, at the Junior Grand Prix Lithuania. figure skater Sasha Cohen landed a few tightly executed quads in practice at an event in 2001, but not during the competition. Ando tried to land the first quad at an Olympics, in 2006 but fell and only received credit for a triple. “We didn’t have fancy technology we tried and if we fell, well, we put more pads on or used ice packs after and that was it.”īonaly says she landed most of the quadruple jumps-the Salchow, toe loop, flip, and Lutz-in practice, but was never able to cleanly complete the four rotations in a competition.Ī fully validated quad at a women’s skating event didn’t happen until 2002 when Miki Ando of Japan successfully executed a quadruple salchow at the Junior Grand Prix Final. “It was just using extra pads if you needed it, and going for it,” she says. For her, it was easier to learn the quad jumps old-school style. Plus, Bonaly says since she learned all her jumps without a harness, being strapped into the equipment messed up her sense of where she was in the air and made her more uncomfortable. Even harnesses, which strap skaters into a harness hooked to the ceiling of the rink that the coach can pull to launch skaters into the air while they turn, weren’t that common then.
Her coach was eager for her to try quad jumps, and Bonaly says back when she was training, in the 1980s and 1990s, skaters didn’t wear helmets or have other technical tools for helping them learn new jump skills.
“I knew it was something in my power to do. John Tlumacki-The Boston Globe via Getty Images ‘It was not like a suicidal jump for me’įor Bonaly, adding another revolution to her arsenal of triple jumps wasn’t a huge technical leap, nor, she says, a dangerous one.
