Though she has never ice skated at the Olympics and has never placed higher than 13th at the ISU World Championships of Figure Skating', figure skater Lucinda Ruh has made a name for herself in the sport of figure skating. In 2003, she skated to the world record for most revolutions in a spin by doing 115 rotations on one foot without stopping. She has been clocked at five rotations per second.
Ruh was born in Zurich, Switzerland, but her father's career took the family all over the world. She trained in Japan, Canada, China, and other places. Along the way, she became fluent in many languages. While Ruh lacked the ability to perform the hardest jumps in figure skating and while she never placed at international competitions, the 5'9" figure skater dazzled one and all with her blazing spins. Her crowd-pleasing skating led to touring opportunities with Champions on Ice and Stars on Ice.
Spine and disc injuries have hampered Ruh's professional figure skating career in 2004, and she has joined the figure skating coaching staff at Ice Castle in California. Not surprisingly, her focus is helping young figure skaters with spins and choreography. The 25-year-old also launched her own fashion company, Lucinda's Sparkle.
