Not only are the forces of physics visible
throughout the motions of figure skaters, they can also be seen
written all over their faces! Check out what gravity and
circular motion have done to these skaters…
And this is for all of those that think figure
skating is an easy sport…. Imagine falling on jumps and spins at
every single practice you attend, over and over…. on REALLY hard
unforgiving ICE!
