What geometry is in ice skating?

This is for a math project and I need to list all the geometry in ice skating.

What geometry is in ice skating?
Geometry is about figures and figure skating is an important part of professional and Olympic Ice skating. Doing the figure eight as perfectly as possible, for example.





Doing a Camel spin properly requires the two legs to be at a perfect right angle.





Skating in a perfect straight line is one of the items graded.





Spins, jumps like triple toe loops are more a matter of physics.
Reply:Study figures in polar coordinates.


Cardioids and epicycloids in Cartesian coordinates are important.


Wiki those terms.





The physics of ice skating involves forces, momentum, and movement on the plane (ice) and in space (jumps), all of which are characterized by vector analysis, a part of analytic geometry.
