Pair spins - Figure Skating - Pairs
A pair spin is a spin in which the two spin around a common axis while holding each other. The additional balance obtained by holding onto a partner allows pair skaters to obtain spin positions that would be difficult or impossible for a singles skater to achieve. Rotational speed, centering, and quality and difficulty of positions affect the score.
Pairs can also employ atypical entries or rotating in both CW and CCW directions.
