What kind of physical body should you have for figure skating?

Answer 1

I am a figure skater myself and i have seen all different sizes of figure skaters on the ice! It doesnt matter what kind of body shape u have or size! Lets be honest it would be harder for a larger size person or a taller person to get themselves off the ice and into the air in many jumps such as ( Axel, Double sow, Double toe, Double loop, Double flip, Double axel, and tripple jumps). Most of the girls i see skating are small and short but there is some taller girls and larger girls aswell. I think no matter the shape size and Height of your body, i think if u keep your mind set on your goal (eg. landing a jump/ learning a spin) you can accomplish anything! That go's for all sports and activities!

Hope this helped :-)
