FIELD MOVEMENTS – Gliding moves
Figure 42 Spiral, Spread Eagle, Bauer, Chinese Spiral
CROUCH
a two foot movement in which a skater travels along the ice with both legs bent at an angle (with at least 90 degrees between the thigh and shin of the skating legs).
INA BAUER [InBa]
Figure 43 Ina Bauer
Figure 44 Ina Bauer II
a two-footed movement in which the skater travels along the ice with one foot on a forward edge/tracing and the other on a matching backward edge on a different but parallel edge/tracing.
Ina Bauer (figure skater)
Ina Bauer, married name Szenes, (31 January 1941 – 13 December 2014) was a German competitive figure skater.She won three consecutive West German national titles (1957–59) and invented the skating element which bears her name.
LUNGE [Lu]
Figure 45 Forward Lunge
a movement in which a skater travels along the ice with one leg bent (with at least 90 degrees between the thigh and shin of the skating leg) and the other leg directed behind with the boot/blade touching the ice
LUNGE: A lunge is performed with both feet on the ice. The solid line of the diagram indicates where the body weight is (bent knee). The dotted line indicates that the skating foot of the preceding step does not come off of the ice. It is held in complete extension through the next step, resulting in a lunge.
PIVOT [Pvt]
Figure 46 Forward inside Pivot
Figure 47 Pivot in both directions
a two footed movement in which the toe picks of one foot are inserted into the ice by a skater as a central pivoting point while the other foot travels in a circular pattern around the pivot point.
SHOOT THE DUCK
a one foot movement in which a skater travels along the ice with one leg in a strongly bent position and the other leg directed forward parallel to the ice.
SPREAD EAGLE
a curving, two-footed movement in which the skater skates with one foot on a forward edge and the other on a matching backward edge on the same curve (eg. outside and outside).
SPIRAL
A gliding position executed on one foot with free leg extended (including knee and foot) above hip level.
SPIRAL SEQUENCE:
A collection of at least two spirals executed on different feet, separated by no more than four steps not including the step taken into the skating foot of the second spiral. (A step in this case applies to any time a change of foot takes place, e.g. Mohawk = 2 steps, 3-turn = 1 step, crosscut = 2 steps)
