The Double Axel requires 3 and a half rotations in the air.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
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:
