What is the maximum number of different types of spinning positions allowed in a synchronized spin at the same time?

In synchronized skating, a synchronized spin involves a group of skaters executing a spin in unison. The maximum number of different types of spinning positions allowed at the same time in such a spin is two types. This means that while the skaters must maintain the overall theme and synchronization of the spin, they can incorporate a combination of two different spins. This adds variety and complexity to the routine, enhancing the performance's artistic impression and technical execution.

In contrast, if only one type of spin position were allowed, the variations and creativity within the performance would be quite limited. Having three or more types of spins would complicate synchronization and could detract from the harmony and unity that are central to synchronized skating routines. Thus, the allowance of up to two types strikes a balance between technical challenge and the essence of synchronization.
