Q #175 - What do fast skaters do that separates themselves from their slower competitors?
Q #175: "I’ve always wondered how some skaters can gain and carry speed more than others. what do fast skaters do that separates themselves from their slower competitors? people always say that knee bend helps, but how does it work?"
Hi anon,
Great question, I’m going to answer as concisely and non-sciencey as possible.
Not all speed is created equal. At least with regards as to how it should be reflected in skating skills scores. Speed that is generated through things like running on the ice, skips, hockey or speed skating-style stroking—even if it’s incredibly fast—should not increase skating skills scores or be reflected in GOE bullets.
Skaters that gain speed using crossovers, basic skating vocabulary, precise and controlled stroking, and using clear technique should have that benefit their SS score. So how to you gain speed if not by running on the ice? I just RT-ed my post on knee bend, so if you want to learn more about that it is Q #43. A skater accelerates by:
Increasing the force that they push with (recruiting more muscle fibers in their lower body)
Increasing the power of that stroke by delivering that force over a shorter period of time (power is the rate of Work / Time, aka making the stroke faster)
Delivering that stroke over a longer displacement (using the length of their stride to keep that contact on the ice, Work = Force * Disp.)
By increasing the original potential energy by bending their knees further, if we treat the knee like a spring where the potential spring energy increases with every degree from 180 > 90, the greater the range of motion of the knee, the more potential energy the skater has to translate into speed.
Exceptionally fast skaters like Kaori Sakamoto, Han Yan, Wakaba Higuchi, Kaetlyn Osmond, Hubbell/Donohue, Virtue/Moir, Miura/Kihara etc… apply significantly more force per stroke or crossover than their slower competitors because they are recruiting more muscle fibers from the correct muscle groups (^PE), bending their knees (^PE), and maintaining as much contact with the ice to gain the full potential of that stroke over the shortest possible time—increasing their power.
This is one of the major advantages of muscle mass, there’s simply more muscle fibers to recruit to each stroke, and they have more capacity for work. This is also why very fast singles skaters tend to have very large jumps, their knee bend allows them to translate that spring energy into elevation.

i think light yagami is "socially adept" in terms of being able to reason out relatively well what to say and do to come off as a harmless and good and polite young man who is likeable to be around. however i do not think "socially adept" (or "neurotypical") typically comes with having to preface every other normal-passing action and statement with a minor crisis of "ah shit. quick, what would i say/do in response to this if i was light yagami, a normal and nice and respectable young man?"
everyone likes to talk about him talking about kira in third person but can we acknowledge that he also talks about LIGHT in third person. i'm not adding manga panels at 3:57am but y'all know exactly which ones i mean
#light is decent at masking but he is NOT coming off as perfect to anyone who looks at him with a critical eye. like L or near#it's just that a lot of people take him at face value#he's handsome he gets top grades his dad is the police chief his family adores him girls like him etc#and he gets to skate off of that a lot until someone comes around and questions the mask#he unravels so fast once he gets closer to L. he fucks up the misa thing so badly even HE has to admit to L's face#that kira probably didn't think things through with the second kira and kind of panicked#ughhhhhhhhhhh i have so many thoughts about him. he works very hard to come off as socially competent. it's a learned skill not innate#i firmly believe there is some shit going on w light in terms of mental conditions. HOWEVER#i also believe he was relatively 'normal' up until the death note sent a lot of that shit spiralling#lots of mentally ill people live pretty normal lives it turns out! a lot of us can get by and sort of manage!#even if it means masking and coping as needed#i don't think you have to be mentally ill to react to the death note the way light did#i do think it oiled some clockwork that was already ticking though#anyway. light is socially competent to some degree because he tries to be. sometimes it backfires. sometimes he misses. normal stuff#trying to say he is objectively socially adept or inept is futile though#but ig what is death note without black and white thinking and what is the dn fandom without diving into the nuances under the surface layer
