The sit spin is one of the oldest elements in figure skating. It was invented by American figure skater Jackson Haines. It has been called "one of the most important spins in skating". According to figure skater John MIsha Petkevich, despite its difficulty to learn and the amount of energy it requires to execute it, "yields immense rewards" for the skater. There is a wide variety of sitting positions skaters have invented, and also according to Petkevich, the choice of a sitting position are not determined by aesthetic design or technical objections, but is often determined by convenience. The skater can make refinements to the sit spin, which will do the following: increase the speed of the spin's rotation; make the spin more exciting as it ends; and introduce positions that will increase the skater's strength and style.
