Figure Skating

Figure skating is a recreational and competitive sport that involves performing on ice using skates. It combines elements of artistry, balance, and athleticism, and is characterized by various maneuvers such as jumps, spins, and footwork. Skaters can perform individually, in pairs, or in groups (like ice dance and synchronized skating). The sport emphasizes grace, presentation, technical skills, and the ability to execute complex routines set to music. Competitions are held at various levels, from amateur to professional, culminating in prestigious events like the Winter Olympics and World Championships.
