Figure Skating

Figure skating is a winter sport that combines elements of ice skating, dance, and gymnastics, performed on ice. Competitors execute a series of movements, including jumps, spins, and footwork, while maintaining a choreographed routine set to music. Events in figure skating can be individual, pairs, or ice dance, and they are judged based on technical proficiency and artistic expression. The sport requires a high degree of skill, balance, grace, and athleticism, and participants often begin training at a young age. Figure skating is a popular event in competitions, most notably in the Winter Olympics and various championship events.
