  • 2. 

    The Double Axel requires 3 and a half rotations in the air.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The Double Axel actually requires 2 and a half rotations in the air, not 3 and a half rotations. This jump is commonly performed in figure skating and requires a skater to take off from a forward outside edge, rotate twice in the air, and land on the back outside edge of the opposite foot. It is considered a challenging jump due to the number of rotations and the technique required to execute it successfully.

    Rate this question:

    • Salcow

    • Sowcho

    • Salchow

    • Solcow

    Correct Answer
    A. Salchow
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Salchow." A Salchow is a figure skating jump that takes off from a back inside edge and lands on a back outside edge. It is named after its creator, Ulrich Salchow, a Swedish figure skater.

    • Charlotte

    • Biellmann

    • Ina Bauer

    • Spiral

    • Twizzle

    Correct Answer
    A. Twizzle
    Explanation
    A twizzle is not a spiral because it is a term used in figure skating to describe a rapid rotation on one foot. On the other hand, Charlotte, Biellmann, Ina Bauer, and Spiral are all names of figure skating moves that involve a spiral position, where the skater extends one leg behind them while maintaining balance and control.
