Which of the following is an informal definition of twizzle?

twizzle (noun): in figure skating, to move forward while spinning on one foot

Doug always blamed twizzles for ruining his dreams of ice dance glory. He could spin like a tornado and glide across the ice as smoothly as the shadow of a cloud. Unfortunately, he couldn't do both at the same time. while it would all come together and for a moment he'd feel the intoxicating blur of a perfect twizzle, but
catch a toe pick and his hopes and his body would both crash to the ice.

The skating maneuver called a twizzle only dates back to about 1975, and likely is a variation on the word
O reflecting its turning motion. It is not a spin or a glide but a combination of both actions. The word does noc
to be used in any context other than figure skating, and more specifically, in ice dance.

Half the fun of watching the Olympics is becoming an expert in weird sports lingo like "twizzle" (spinning a
the ice on one skate) and "piste" (downhill ski trail).
