What is a "flying spin"?
A flying spin in figure skating is a move where the skater jumps into the air and lands directly into a spinning position. The skater begins by jumping off the ice and then quickly transitions into a spin once they are airborne, rotating on one foot after landing. This element combines both jumping and spinning skills, requiring precision and control to ensure a smooth and balanced landing. Flying spins are often used in routines to add complexity and flair, showcasing the skater’s ability to perform advanced maneuvers.
