Figure Skating

Figure skating is a sport that involves individuals or groups performing on ice skates. It combines elements of artistry, athleticism, and precision as skaters execute a variety of moves, including jumps, spins, and footwork, often set to music. Competitions are typically judged based on technical skill, artistry, and presentation, leading to scoring that reflects both the difficulty and the execution of performances. Figure skating can be performed as singles, pairs, or in ice dance forms, each emphasizing different aspects of movement and coordination. It is a recognized Olympic sport and has a rich history, evolving over time in terms of style, technique, and competitive structure.
