figure skaters can rotate as fast as 402
rpm while doing a triple axel spin
that's equivalent to a Prius wheel going
30 miles per hour early on figure
skaters are taught some techniques to
ease them into spins and jumps some
figure skaters practice breathing
exercises while training they repeat a
process of spinning as long as they can
and then stop to take a breath
skaters also focus on something in the
area and try to catch a glimpse of it
with every spin similar to ballet
dancers

however advanced figure skaters spend
too fast for this technique to work by
trying to set their vision on one object
figure skaters brains can adapt faster
and remember where they are positioned
most skaters will add a dance routine
before their jumps allowing them to
regain their balance so do figure
skaters still get dizzy while spinning
yes they do but practicing certain
techniques help lessen the dizziness
