So I was counting the number of revolutions while I was watching the junior and novice competitions at my local rink. Then I watched some Olympic videos and counted their revolutions.
With the local skaters, it seemed to be around:
Solitary spin: 20 rev
2-combo spin = 10 rev per position
3 or 4 combo = 5-7 rev per position
Same rev was true of the Olympians, except every spin they do is always a 4-combo spin.
I know there are some test rules about revs:
Perlim - 3 rev minimum per position
Pre-juve = 4 rev min (correct position is now mandatory. aka sit spin must be low enough. camel leg must not drop etc)
Juvenile/Intermediate - 4-5 rev min
Novice/Junior/Senior - 5-6 rev
Since these are the minimums, I guess I'm kinda wondering what the maximums are for skaters of different levels?
I did some counting today on myself, but I'm fairly low level at Adult Silver (Adult Gold when I get axel).
scratch spin: 22 rev
pancake sit: 18 rev (normal sit: 10 rev after you subtract the ridiculous amt of time it takes me to get in and out of it)
back scratch: 12 rev
camel: 10 rev
back sit: 10 rev
back camel: 1-2 painfully slow rev
Subtract 2-3 spins for the time it takes to get into proper position.
I'm also not perfectly parallel in my sit and I know my camel leg droops at times during the spin before going back up into proper position. I know they stop counting as soon as your leg droops even a fraction.
How many max rev can the average junior/senior skater do?
How many max rev can an Olympic level skater do?
I want max rev for both solitary spins and 3-4 position combo spins.
I think I saw a video camel competition on youtube from some higher level skaters and they all toppled out of their solitary camel around 20-25 rev or sooner.
