Figure Skating

Figure skating is a sport in which individuals, duos, or groups perform on ice skates. It is characterized by a combination of artistic expression and athletic skill, involving various elements such as jumps, spins, and intricate footwork. Skaters perform routines set to music, showcasing their ability to execute technical maneuvers with precision and grace. Figure skating is often categorized into different disciplines, including singles, pairs, and ice dance, each with its own specific focus and competitive rules. The sport is governed by international organizations, which oversee competitions such as the World Championships and the Winter Olympics. It emphasizes artistry as much as technical proficiency, blending elements of dance and performance with the challenges of skating on ice.
