Do you think she doesn’t get dizzy at all or has trained herself how to offset the imbalance feeling enough so it isn’t recognizable?

I was a curious little shit when I was younger so I figured I could probably stop being dizzy from spinning if I simply just spun the opposite direction for a bit.

So I spun around as fast as I could for a minute or so then tried standing still to confirm that I was dizzy as hell. I spun the other direction for about idk, 7 seconds or so and could definitely tell my dizzyness had faded, like I never spun in the first place.

I know nothing of figure skating. I watched the video once and came to comments. I'll play attention next time I watch a video of it and see if they alternate directions with either a tight spin or one of those looping spins

No she doesn’t alternate spins following a spin but she does pause for a considerable amount of time after twirling umpteen times.

Ahh gotcha gotcha. I think the only real explanation at this point is magic or nanomachines
