flying camel

Jump into spin

A flying camel is a figure skating move combining a camel spin with a jump entry—the skater leaps into the air and lands in a spinning position with one leg extended behind, parallel to the ice.

The "flying" refers to the airborne entry; the "camel" describes the arabesque-like pose during the spin: She landed the flying camel perfectly.
