1980s Olympic gold medalist Robin Cousins said it is an old ice show move called ‘the pencil’.

Do performance pairs often get with each other? Because this involves a lot of physical intimacy and trust. You're halfway there!
Sk8rgrl
You are correct. Often it ruins the partnership though.
AlmostClever
Thank you! This stunned me last night when they showed it.
boofhead60
that made me dizzy !

On a quasi serious note, how often does these pairs become couples, anyone have an idea?
Sk8rgrl
Often times skating partners will end up dating because they're spending so much time together and the routines are often choreographed...
Sk8rgrl
To portray chemistry between the skaters to the audience. Usually the relationships don't last though.
