She spins at 308 RPM..at the end. She starts her spin with legs and arms extended out, then she brings her legs and arms closer in. As she makes herself tighter and tighter she goes faster and faster. It looks like magic and actually is. It's something called Conservation of 'angular' Momentum. As her width or diameter decreases her spinning speed will increase. She kicks a leg out to start her pirouette then draws it in to hit that ice-boring speed. It's the secret to the incredible pirouettes of ballerinas and skaters alike.
