They do, and they train themselves to get used to it. Another technique is to look at a place on the rink,and snap your head around when you can’t see it any more. This rotates your head much faster than your body, because your neck is nimble, and then gives it time to stabilize a little before you snap it again. It doesn’t prevent dizziness, but it reduces it somewhat.
