Definition:
A spread eagle is a figure skating move where a skater glides on two feet with the toes pointing in opposite directions. The legs are completely straight and spread apart. This move is done on outside or inside edges.
Examples:
Inside spread eagles are easier than outside spread eagles.
Some skaters are not able to do spread eagles because they have "closed hips."
If a skater practices a spread eagle at the rail on a daily basis, even a skater with "closed hips" may be able to do a spread eagle.
