Cantilever (figure skating)
The cantilever is a figure skating element. Similar to the spread eagle, the skater travels along a deep edge. With knees bent, the skater bends his or her back backwards, parallel to the ice.

| Element name: | Cantilever |
| Inventor: | Werner Groebli |
It was invented by Werner Groebli, better known as "Mr. Frick", a long-time show skater with Ice Follies. More recently, it became one of Ilia Klimkin's, Elizaveta Tuktamysheva's, Alexandra Trusova's and Shoma Uno's signature moves. Shoma Uno also frequently uses the cantilever in exhibition performances.

gollark: Just brotlipython it.
gollark: I don't see how this line works though: `if c in"ae":a+=int(c=="a")`. I mean, it doesn't look like it would decrement the accumulator at all.
gollark: Fiiiiine. `bin(a).replace("0b","")` should probably just be `bin(a)[2:]`. `eval` in the same line should probbaly be `int`.
gollark: I actually have some ideas for making anima's mildly shorter but that might not be the best idea?
gollark: Oh dear.
