What is a "sit spin"?
A sit spin is a figure skating move where the skater spins while sitting on one leg, with the other leg extended in front or bent at the knee. The skater lowers their body toward the ice, creating a seated position while still maintaining the ability to spin quickly. The arms are usually extended for balance, and the position highlights the skater's flexibility and control. A sit spin is often performed with smoothness and precision, and it is a common element in figure skating routines due to its difficulty and elegance.
