Ice Skaters Don't Get Dizzy
For two weeks now we’ve watched the best ice skaters in the world jump, leap, dance and pirouette.
We’ve watched toe loops lutzes and triple axels, and even the salchows - Jeff had to look it up - a salchow is a jump where you’re going backwards, and leap off the inside edge of one skate and land on the outside edge of the other. It’s named after Sweidsh Skater Urich Salchor who invented the move in 1909.
But back to The Minute - watching Nathan Chen twist his way to a gold medal, and seeing the shenanigans with the Russian women, Jeff was left with one question? How do they do those spins where they turn into a blur, AND AVOID GETTING DIZZY?
