It's a required element in women's singles figure-skating competition and is related to the arabesque performed in ballet. Figure 5.40 shows Canadian skater Kaetlyn Osmond executing a spiral during her medal-winning perfor- mance at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Gangneung, South Korea. 77. From the photo, you can conclude that the skater is a. executing a turn to her left. b. executing a turn to her right. c. moving in a straight line out of the page. 78.
