Thread for non-native speakers seeking for words, phrases, etymology and contexts regarding figure skating. No laughing allowed... :hopelessness:
My questions, English:
1. How do you call the last part of the jump right after landing, when skater comes out(?) of a jump in landing pose? Departure? Exit? [In Russian it's "выезд"]
2. When a toe pick hits the ice it causes what of ice? Spurt? Gush?
Russian:
3. Where does "ультра-си" come from?
4. I asked about it some time ago already, but forgot the answer: why is Russian GP called "kapa"?
