  • Essay / Figure Skating and Ice Skating - 796

    Ice skating is when an individual skates on ice, which in turn can be turned into a sport or hobby. These sports include: hockey, figure skating and ice dancing. In figure skating terms, skaters are evaluated on how well they perform certain movements and techniques during competitions. Figure skaters compete at various levels from beginner to Olympic level, in local, national and international competitions. At the Olympic Games, they are classified into: men's singles, women's singles, pairs skating and four-person skating. The International Skating Union regulates the Winter Olympics, World Championships, World Junior Championships, European Championships, Four Continents Championships and the Grand Pix Series (which includes seniors and juniors) . During these competitions, skaters must spin with great momentum to prove their excellence in the sport by performing movements such as: sitting spins, camel spins, vertical spins, death falls and a fanciful display of "spins". » ordinary ones such as the so-called Biellman pirouette. Not only are they expected to spin at high speeds for display, but they are also examined for jumps performed while skating on ice such as: salchows, loops, axels and/or jumps. transition, such as the one-foot Axel, walleye vault and Russian splits. .But these are just the basics of figure skating. Skaters have the ability to transform their performances into their own performances. Skaters incorporate lifts into pairs skating and ice dancing. Pair lifts are usually overhead. Some holds performed during these performances are: waist holds, hand-to-hip holds and hand-to-hand lifts. Hand-to-hand lifts are divided into two types: Press lifts, Lasso lifts. They also do twist lifts, dances...... middle of paper......out stop. Taking into account body and brain training, skaters also learn to create an illusion to mask the dizzying imbalance of the judges. There are two special cases where pirouette can cause dizziness: at the beginning of the pirouette, when skaters are not yet accustomed to the sensation, and at the end when they must bring their senses together to regulate their normal state of mind . Skaters often fill in these “gaps” in their routines and compensate for dizziness after a spin by incorporating a small dance move into their practices before a jump. This step allows them to regain their balance. With all the dynamic spins, jumps, turns, lifts and twirls, there has to be some sort of mechanism that can help further define the laws of physics that are being applied as these ice skaters spin. and skate at high speed.
