i dont understand how jumping and spinning that fast in such little time is even possible to land and keep skating.

It seemed like she put very little effort in that move.

Everything in iceskating loks impossible to me!

Yeah pretty neat, I never really understood figure skating either. I mean, I can go forward. And I can go backward. I can turn. And that's about it.

Years of practice, for many if not most of these people skating this their life. Little to no time for entertainment. All free time is spent skating, and mastering moves. Usually they start very young too, when they are still in elementary school, some times even before kindergarden.
