what is the meaning of “..with a short increase of curve coming at the end of the edge…”
0
Here is the whole sentence to give you more context.
Here is a look at three different salchow take off marks left on the ice. The first is a very clean takeoff with a short increase of curve coming at the end of the edge as the skater releases into the air.
I don't seem to figure out what this specific part of the sentence means. More specifically "coming at the end of the edge". Would you please explain it to me?

@Jim To be honest, not much. But I have to translate this piece into another language and I would like to convey the meaning of the sentence as well as possible.

My guess is that the marks look generally like a sweeping curve of large radius, but just before where the skate leaves the ice the radius of curvature decreases (the curve tightens) a noticeable amount. Edging in skating is a term for skating on one of the two sides, or edges (inside or outside edge), of the blade.
