Points for 1/2 (Marathon) Skate (Skating Technique)

  • Use the leg push of the free skate, but on only one side of the body.
  • Use double poling in the first half of the push; the result is propulsion in the direction the push ski is pointing.
  • Turn the body toward the glide ski as the hand reaches the hips during the double poling action.
  • Use double poling and leg push in the second half of the push.
  • Extend the arms and the push leg completely, and finish the push phase at the same time.
  • The body weight moves to a balanced position over the glide ski during the recovery phase.
