Starting with Potential oas with any jump or skill, the skater needs to build up or increase the amount of potential energy they have before executing a move osince by definition potential energy is independent of motion othis means that the potential energy of a skater is the amount of energy stored in muscle power oafter a skater jumps, their muscle power potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, which is then converted to gravitational potential energy (at the very top of their flight), and then converted back to kinetic once they land by definition potential energy is independent of motion
