Technique de patinage artistique par laquelle des patineurs, en simple ou en couple, arrivent à s'abaisser très bas, en appui sur un seul pied, à adopter une position déportée presqu'à l'horizontale, parallèle à la surface glacée, et à glisser artistiquement, comme s'ils étaient portés au fil de l'eau, tout en étant en équilibre apparemment précaire, débalancés qu'ils sont par rapport à la lame en contact avec la glace. 1, record 4, French, - a%C3%A9roglissage
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Technique du glissé à l'horizontale mise en valeur dans les années 90 par le couple de danseurs canadiens Shae-Lynn Bourne et Victor Krantz; ce type de mouvement peut également être exécuté par un patineur ou une patineuse en simple. Les équivalents français proposés viennent de «aéroglisseur» (engin qui se déplace en surface, comme effleurant l'eau), de «glissade» (le mouvement, le fait de glisser sur une surface), et de «glisse» (qualité de ce qui se déplace bien sur une surface). Dans un programme de patinage artistique, une figure avec aéroglissage comprend l'entrée (l'élan), le mouvement aéroglissé et la sortie (la reprise d'équilibre et le début de l'enchaînement avec la figure suivante). On dira de patineurs qui exécutent ces mouvements avec aisance qu'«ils ont de l'aéroglisse». 1, record 4, French, - a%C3%A9roglissage
