Hi the good people of golden skate,
I am new to this forum (first post) but I have been appreciating your threads as a great resource of knowledge on nearly all things figure skating. That is why I am hoping you could help me with this question, my coach was unable to help.
I have been experiencing some pain in my right ankle ( my landing foot ) since a few weeks and I am unsure of the cause. I am an adult beginner, in Edea Ouvertures with Coronation Ace blades that I have since last September. I do feel that Edea works very well for my feet.
I am working on my single jumps, the Flip at the moment, and I do feel that the pain is the most intense when I have to twist of the ice for the Flip and the Loop, as well as landing walk jumps. Could it be that my skates are not providing me with sufficient support? Or could it be that my ankles are just getting stronger?
I am 157 cm (about 5'2) and 52 kg ( I am guessing around 115 lbs), I am quite muscular and strong (I have done a lot of gymnastics, yoga, ballet in the past) and I do have decent hight for the single jumps at the moment.
Any thoughts on this would be highly appreciated.
