π DIFFERENT TYPES OF FIGURE SKATING π
singles: this is what most people imagine when they think of figure skating. a single skater performing a routine consisting of jumps, spins, and footwork sequences. a skaterβs form, technique, and ability to perform under pressure are crucial to winning a gold medal.
pairs: two skaters (usually one male/one female) skating in unison together while performing a routine consisting of more difficult throw jumps and lifts. pairs requires you to be in sync with your partner and have excellent communication throughout your routine.
synchronized skating: a team of 8-20 skaters executing challenging formations and step sequences together in unison. synchronized skating offers skaters a chance to compete with a team and learn the value of teamwork and friendship.
βWinning is not about how many medals you get, itβs about accomplishing goals and just being the best you can be.β

π FIGURE SKATING FUN FACT π
did you know that the first figure skates were actually made by attaching animal bones to the bottom of shoes? π€― natives did this so that they could travel across bodies of frozen water without slipping, and then they eventually began holding races. the more you know!
π my 3 tips for beginning skaters π
1. donβt look down!
i know you may want to keep an eye on your feet to watch what youβre doing, but looking down will actually throw your balance off! keep your head up and your eyes straight ahead when learning how to skate, as this will help keep your balance.
2. bend your knees
always keep a slight bend in your knees to help keep your balance. when you lock your legs, you tend to shift your weight which will entirely throw your balance off and you may end up falling backwards.
3. donβt be afraid to fall
falling is the scariest part of figure skating, but once you learn to overcome your fear of falling, itβs really not that bad :) in all of my years of figure skating, i have never badly injured myself from a fall. your body will react to falling and you usually end up catching yourself
π PREVENTING YOUR BLADES FROM RUSTING π
always make sure to put your soft guards on your skates after you get off the ice π€ your soft guards will absorb any leftover ice or water that is still on your blades. itβs crucial that you remove any water or ice that may be lingering on your blades after you skate to prevent your blades from rusting!
(in the case that your blades do rust, the old tale iβve always been told growing up is if you pour a little coca cola on a paper towel and wipe your blade down with it, it will remove the rust!!)
π EP 2: HOW TO DO THE SWIZZLE π
https://of.tv/video/630e8cf841d71c0001c4e2d1/
thereβs another episode up on my βEris On Iceβ OFTV channel βΊοΈ in todayβs episode, iβm teaching you how to do the swizzle! the swizzle is a super basic/two foot skating move that can help you get from point a to point b. once youβve mastered the forwards swizzle, then you can try going backwards too! check out the video on my OFTV channel by clicking the link above :)
π₯ 3 tips to win a gold medal π₯
1. consistency
once you finally land a jump, it can be pretty exciting! however, itβs truly only the beginning. being able to be consistent with your jumps and land them every time you attempt it is crucial to winning a gold medal. a jump is only as good as when you land it in competition! keep practicing so that everytime you attempt your jump you are engraving the motion into your muscle memory and you are landing it consistently before attempting in a competition.
2. endurance
although a figure skaterβs short program is only 2 minutes and 40 seconds long, a skater is executing a number of jumps, spins, and footwork sequences throughout the entire program. a skater needs heavy endurance training to be able to push through the entire 3 minutes without stopping or catching their breath.
3. confidence
when you go out to compete, are you smiling? does it look like your having fun? these are elements that judges are looking for during your performance! on top of all of the figure skating elements you are expected to execute, a skater is also expected to entertain the audience and make what theyβre doing look easy. even if you arenβt confident, fake it! you never know what can happen in those 2 minutes and 40 seconds!
π THE SCORPION π
the scorpion is an advanced figure skating move that can be done in a spin, or gliding on the skaterβs flat edge! this move requires a lot of back flexibility, so be sure to practice stretching your back every day continuously before fully attempting to complete a scorpion.
itβs always a good idea to practice moves off the ice so you can get a hang of the move before trying on skates. you can practice by doing the yoga move, dancers pose. lift one leg behind you grasp your foot or ankle with the respective hand. lift your foot as far as it can go, and reach forward with the opposite hand. once you are very comfortable doing dancers pose, then you can attempt to attach your opposite hand to the rest of the pose.
here are two back stretches that i would do every day to get my back flexible enough to complete a scorpion:
1. bridge
start laying down on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground. place your hands on the ground next to your ears with your fingers pointing towards your shoulders. push up so that your back is arched, and try to straighten your arms and legs, your body should look like a rainbow! hold for as long as you can, and then gently come down by slowing bending your arms and legs.
2. lay back
try to find a ledge or table that is at least your hips height (figure skaters often use the hockey board for this stretch). with your feet together and parallel, hold onto the table or ledge and arch your back. push your hips forward and let your head hang back, going as far as you can go.
it βs best to hold a stretch for at least 1 minute to increase flexibility, however please go at your own pace and listen to your body we never want to injure ourselves π€
π EP 1: THE ANATOMY OF A FIGURE SKATE π
https://of.tv/video/630546eddd65ea0001b0a722/
My first episode of Eris On Ice is live on OFTV! in todayβs episode, I am teaching you the anatomy of a figure skate. Itβs very crucial that you understand the different parts of the blade and what they do, as each figure skating element is driven by a different part of the blade. This will make it much easier for me to explain and for you to understand how to execute elements in my upcoming videos βΊοΈ
au naturel on this rest day βοΈπ taking rest days is important too β¨β¨
itβs imperative that we allow our muscles to rest and recover from any damage theyβve sustained during a workout. this will allow them to grow and help maintain good health and fitness πͺπΌ
kicking off the weekend strong with another pilates class πͺπΌ are you working out today? pilates is a huge part of figure skating training! you may not think about all of the other sports that figure skaters take part in to benefit their training.
pilates and yoga are used to help exercise a skaters flexibility. flexibility and mobility are so important in a skaters training as there are so many different moves that require flexibility in a skaters back and legs. other activities that most figure skaters do in addition to their figure skating training are:
pilates, yoga, cardio, endurance, strength training, stretching, and different kinds of dance classes such as ballet, jazz, and lyrical!
