Besti squat

Besti squat

A Besti squat is a figure skating move. It is similar to the spread eagle in that the skater travels along an edge with both skates on the ice, the toes turned out to the sides and the heels facing each other. The knees are bent outwards into a squating position with the thighs held parallel to the ice and the torso kept upright. The move is named after Natalia Bestemianova.
