What is an "upright spin"?
An upright spin in figure skating is a move where the skater spins while keeping their body straight and their legs parallel to each other. The skater rotates on one foot, maintaining an upright posture with their arms extended for balance. The free leg is usually held close to the body or straight out, and the skater must stay centered while spinning smoothly. This spin emphasizes control and balance, and it is often performed with speed, showcasing the skater's ability to maintain a stable and controlled position during the rotation.
Example
The upright spin requires a strong core and precise positioning for stability.
