What is a "spread eagle"?
In figure skating, a spread eagle is a move where a skater glides with their feet turned outward, creating a wide, open-leg position while balancing on the inside or outside edges of their blades. This move is often used to transition between elements, add elegance to a routine, or set up for jumps. It requires flexibility, balance, and control to maintain smooth movement while holding the position. The spread eagle is a visually striking move that highlights a skater’s skill and edge control.
