Figure skating

Figure skating is a sport in which individuals, pairs,

Figure skating
or groups perform on figure skates on ice. It was the
first winter sport to be included in the Olympic Games,
with its introduction occurring at the 1908 Olympics in
London.[1] The Olympic disciplines are men's singles,
women's singles,[note 1] pair skating, and ice dance; the
four individual disciplines are also combined into a
team event, which was first included in the Winter
Olympics in 2014. The non-Olympic disciplines
include synchronized skating, Theater on Ice, and four
skating. From intermediate through senior-level
competition, skaters generally perform two programs
(the short program and the free skate), which,
depending on the discipline, may include spins, jumps,

and after their competitive careers, also skate in ice

Terminology
The term "professional" in skating refers not to skill level but competitive status. Figure skaters
competing at the highest levels of international competition are not "professional" skaters. They are
sometimes referred to as amateurs,[3] even though some earn money. Professional skaters include those
who have lost their ISU eligibility and those who perform
only in shows. They may also include former Olympic and
World champions who have ended their competitive career,
as well as skaters with little or no international competitive
experience. In addition to performing in ice shows,
professional skaters often compete in professional
competitions, which are held throughout the world, each
with its own format and rules.[4]

The term "figure skating" is an English language term; the "Central Park, Winter: the Skating Pond",
sport is called Eiskunstlauf in German and patinage 1862 lithograph
artistique in French.[5]

Figure skates
The most visible difference from ice hockey skates is that figure
skates have a set of large, jagged teeth called toe picks on the front
part of the blade. These are used primarily in jumping and should
not be used for stroking or spins. If used during a spin, the toe pick
will cause the skater to lose momentum, or move away from the
center of the spin. Blades are mounted to the sole and heel of the
boot with screws. Typically, high-level figure skaters are
professionally fitted for their boots and blades at a reputable skate
shop. Professionals are also employed to sharpen blades to Close-up of a figure skating blade,

(groove) on the bottom of the blade,
Blades are about 4.7 millimetres and screw attachment
(3⁄16 inch) thick. When viewed
from the side, the blade of a figure
skate is not flat, but curved
slightly, forming an arc of a circle
with a radius of 180–220
centimetres (71–87 inches). This
curvature is referred to as the
rocker of the blade. The "sweet
spot" is the part of the blade on
which all spins are rotated; this is
usually located near the stanchion
Blade sharpening
of the blade, below the ball of the
foot.[7] The blade is also "hollow
ground"; a groove on the bottom of the blade creates two distinct
edges, inside and outside. The inside edge of the blade is on the
side closest to the skater; the outside edge of the blade is on the
side farthest from the skater. In figure skating, it is always
Figure skates and edges
desirable to skate on only one edge of the blade. Skating on both
at the same time (which is referred to as a flat) may result in lower skating skills scores. The apparently
effortless power and glide across the ice exhibited by elite figure skaters fundamentally derives from
efficient use of the edges to generate speed.

Skates used in singles and pair skating have a set of large, jagged teeth called a toepick on the front of
each blade. The toepicks are mainly used to help launch the skater into the air for the take-off when
performing jumps. Ice dance blades have smaller toepicks than blades used for the other disciplines.

During a spin, skaters use the sweet spot of the blade, which is one of two rockers to be found on a blade
and is the roundest portion of the blade. The sweet spot is located just behind the toe pick and near the
middle of the blade. The other rocker is the more general curvature of the blade when stroking or gliding.

Ice dancers' blades are about an inch shorter in the rear than those used by skaters in other disciplines, to
accommodate the intricate footwork and close partnering in dance. Dancers' blades also have a smaller
toepick as they do not require the large toepick used for jumping in the other disciplines. Hard plastic
skate guards are used when the skater must walk in his or her skates when not on the ice, to protect the
blade from dirt or material on the ground that may dull the blade. Soft blade covers called soakers are
used to absorb condensation and protect the blades from rust when the skates are not being worn. In
competition, skaters are allowed three minutes to make repairs to their skates.

There are many different types of boots and blades to suit different disciplines and abilities. For example,
athletes who are performing advanced multi-rotational jumps often need a stiffer boot that is higher and
gives more support. Athletes working on single or double jumps require less support and may use a less
stiff boot. Ice dancers may prefer a lower cut boot that is designed to enable more knee bend.

Likewise, blades designed for free and pairs skating have a longer tail to assist landing. The blade profile
and picks are designed to assist with spinning, jump entry, take-off, landing, and exit. Modern blade
technology increasingly uses carbon fibre and materials other than steel to make blades lighter. These
materials may also be more flexible and help cushion jump landings and be protective of young athlete's
joints.[8] Ice dance blades have short tails to enable close foot work and reduce the risk of blade clash in
close complex moves. They may also be thinner to assist with glide and fast changes of edge.

Off-ice training is the term for physical conditioning that takes place off the ice.[9] Besides regular
physical exercise, skaters do walk-throughs of jumps off the ice to practice sufficient rotation and height
of their jumps, and to practice consistency in landing on one foot. In 2020/2021 many athletes relied on a
variety of off-ice training and conditioning methods due to rinks being closed due to COVID-19.

Ice rinks and rink equipment

Since 1980, all figure skating competitions must be held in completely covered and enclosed rinks. The
rule was expanded to include practice rinks in 1984.[10] According to figure skating historian James R.
Hines, the development of indoor ice rinks, other than the development of the bladed skate during the
14th century and the practice of fastening boots permanently to skates in the 19th century, has had the
greatest effect on figure skating. It allowed for skating year-round, as well as anywhere in the world, and
prevented the cancellation of competitive events due to the lack of ice in outdoor rinks. The first attempts
to make artificial ice occurred during the 1870s in England and the U.S. The first notable indoor ice rink
was made in 1876, by John Gamgee, in Chelsea along the north bank of the Thames River; it measured
24 by 40 feet. By the end of the 19th century, many major cities in Europe and North America had indoor
rinks.[11]

There is significant variation in the dimensions of ice rinks. Olympic-sized rinks have dimensions of
30 m × 60 m (98.4 ft × 197 ft), NHL-sized rinks are 26 m × 61 m (85 ft × 200 ft), while European rinks
are sometimes 30 m × 64 m (98 ft × 210 ft).[12] The ISU prefers Olympic-sized rinks for figure skating
competitions, particularly for major events. According to ISU rule 342, a figure skating rink for an ISU
event "if possible, shall measure sixty (60) meters in one direction and thirty (30) meters in the other, but
not larger, and not less than fifty-six (56) meters in one direction and twenty-six (26) meters in the
other."[13] The scoring system rewards skaters who have good ice coverage, i.e. those who efficiently
cover the entire ice surface during their programs. Olympic-sized rinks make the differences in skill
between skaters more apparent but they are not available for all events. If a rink has different dimensions,
a skater's jump setup and speed may be hindered as he or she adjusts.[14][15]

Ice quality is judged by smoothness, friction, hardness, and brittleness.[16] Factors affecting ice quality
include temperature, water quality, and usage, with toe picks causing more deterioration. For figure
skating, the ice surface temperature is normally maintained between −5.5 and −3.5 °C (22.1 and
25.7 °F),[16][17] with the Olympic disciplines requiring slightly softer ice (−3.5 °C) than synchronized
skating (−5.5 °C).[18] Typically after every two warm-up groups, an ice resurfacer cleans and smooths the
surface of the ice sheet. Inadequate ice quality may affect skaters' performances.[19]

Some rinks have a harness system installed to help skaters learn new jumps in a controlled manner. A
heavy-duty cable is securely attached to two of the walls around the ice, with a set of pulleys riding on
the cable. The skater wears a vest or belt, with a cable or rope attached to it, and the cable/rope is
threaded through the movable pulley on the cable above. The coach holds the other end of the cable and
lifts the skater by pulling the cable/rope. The skater can then practice the jump with the coach assisting
the completion. This is used when a skater needs more help on a jump. However, if the coaches see fit,
they could use another harness usually called "the fishing pole harness." It is named that because it looks
similar to a fishing pole. The skater will put on the harness and the coach will adjust it so it fits the skater.
The skater will go and do the jump with very little help from their coach. They can also do the jump on
any pattern they choose, whereas, the other harness, they must do in a straight line.[20]

Disciplines
Figure skating consists of the following disciplines:

In Single skating, male and female skaters compete individually. Figure skating is the
oldest winter sport contested at the Olympics, with men's and women's single skating
appearing as two of the four figure skating events at the London Games in 1908.[21] Single
skating has required elements that skaters must perform during a competition and that
make up a well-balanced skating program. They include jumps (and jump combinations),
spins, step sequences, and choreographic sequences.[22]
Pair skating is defined as "the skating of two persons in unison who perform their
movements in such harmony with each other as to give the impression of genuine Pair
Skating as compared with independent Single Skating".[23] The ISU also states that a pairs
team consists of "one Woman and one Man".[24] Pair skating, along with men's and
women's single skating, has been an Olympic discipline since figure skating, the oldest
Winter Olympic sport, was introduced at the 1908 Summer Olympics in London.[25] The ISU
World Figure Skating Championships introduced pair skating in 1908.[26] Pair skating
required elements include lifts, twist lifts, jumps and partner assisted jumps, pair spins,
death spirals, step sequences, and choreographic sequences.[27] The elements performed
by pairs teams must be "linked together by connecting steps of a different nature"[28] and by
other comparable movements and with a variety of holds and positions.
Ice dance historically draws from ballroom dancing. It joined the World Figure Skating
Championships in 1952, and became a Winter Olympic Games medal sport in 1976.[29]
According to the ISU, an ice dance team consists of one woman and one man.[24] Ice dance
has its roots in the "combined skating" developed in the 19th century by skating clubs and
organizations and in recreational social skating.[30] The first national competitions occurred
in England, Canada, the U.S., and Austria during the 1930s.[31] The first international ice
dance competition took place as a special event at the World Championships in 1950 in
London.[32] The elements ice dance teams must perform are the dance lift, the dance spin,
the step sequence, twizzles, and choreographic elements.[33]
Synchronized skating (formerly known as "precision skating") is for mixed-gender groups
of between twelve and twenty figure skaters. This discipline resembles a group form of ice
dance, with additional emphasis on precise formations of the group as a whole and complex
transitions between formations. The basic formations include wheels, blocks, lines, circles,
and intersections. The close formations, and the need for the team to stay in unison, add to
the difficulty of the footwork performed by the skaters in these elements. Formal proposals
were put forward by the ISU to include synchronized skating in the 2022 Winter Olympics,
but those efforts have been unsuccessful.[34][35]
Compulsory figures or school figures were formerly a discipline of figure skating, and
gave the sport its name. They are the "circular patterns which skaters trace on the ice to
demonstrate skill in placing clean turns evenly on round circles".[36] For approximately the
first 50 years of figure skating as a sport, until 1947, compulsory figures made up 60 percent
of the total score at most competitions around the world. These figures continued to
dominate the sport, although they steadily declined in importance, until the ISU voted to
discontinue them as a part of competitions in 1990.[37] Since 2015 with the founding of the
World Figure Sport Society and the World Figure & Fancy Skating Championships &
Festival on black ice more skaters are training and competing in figures.[38] More coaches
are learning the new methods developed by World Figure Sport to teach them to skaters, as
some skaters and coaches believe that figures give skaters an advantage in developing
alignment, core strength, body control, and discipline.[39]

Elements and moves

Each element receives a score according to its base value and grade of execution (GOE), resulting in a
combined technical elements score (TES). At competitions, a technical specialist identifies the elements
and assigns each one a level of difficulty, ranging from B (Basic) to Level 4 (most difficult).[40] For each
element, a panel of judges determines the GOE, ranging between −5 and +5, according to how well the
skater executes the element. The GOE is weighted according to the base value of the element.[40]
Through the ISU guidelines skaters must perform a minimum of seven elements in their short program
and twelve elements in their long program.[13]

The ISU defines a fall as a loss of control with the result that the majority of the skater's body weight is
not on the blade but supported by hands, knees, or buttocks.[41]

Jumps
Jumps involve the skater leaping into the air and rotating rapidly to land after completing one or more
rotations. There are many types of jumps, identified by the way the skater takes off and lands, as well as
by the number of rotations that are completed.
Each jump receives a score according to its base value and grade of execution ISU abbreviations:
(GOE).[40] Quality of execution, technique, height, speed, flow and ice coverage Jumps
are considered by the judges. An under-rotated jump (indicated by < ) is "missing T Toe loop
rotation of more than 1⁄4, but less than 1⁄2 revolution" and receives 70% of the base S Salchow
value. A downgraded jump (indicated by << ) is "missing rotation of 1⁄2 revolution
Lo Loop
or more". A downgraded triple is treated as a double jump, while a downgraded
double is treated as a single jump. F Flip

Lz Lutz
An edge violation occurs when a skater executes a jump on the incorrect edge. The
A Axel
hollow is a groove on the bottom of the blade which creates two distinct edges,
inside and outside. The inside edge of the blade is on the side closest to the skater,
the outside edge is on the side farthest from the skater, and a flat refers to skating on both edges at the
same time, which is discouraged. An unclear edge or edge violation is indicated with an 'e' and reflected
in the GOE according to the severity of the problem. Flutz and lip are the colloquial terms for a Lutz and
flip jump with an edge violation.

In 1982, the ISU enacted a rule stating that a skater may perform each type of triple only once in a
program, or twice if one of them is incorporated into a combination or sequence. For a set of jumps to be
considered a combination, each jump must take off from the landing edge of the previous jump, with no
steps, turns, or change of edge between jumps. Toe loops and loops are commonly performed as the
second or third jump in a combination because they take off from the back outside edge of the landing
foot, or skating leg. To perform a salchow or flip on the back end of a combination, a half loop (which is
actually a full rotation, but lands on a back inside edge of the landing leg) may be used as a connecting
jump. In contrast, jump sequences are sets of jumps that may be linked by non-listed jumps or hops.[42]
Sequences are worth 80% of the combined value of the same jumps executed in combination.

A figure skater only needs to be able to jump in one direction,

either clockwise or counter-clockwise. The vast majority of figure
skaters prefer to rotate in a counter-clockwise direction when
jumping. Thus, for clarity, all jumps will be described for a skater
jumping counter-clockwise.

There are six jumps in figure skating that count as jump elements.
Video demonstrating basic figure
All six are landed on one foot on the back outside edge (with
skating jumps
counter-clockwise rotation, for single and multi-revolution jumps),
but have different takeoffs, by which they may be distinguished.
Jumps are divided into two different categories: toe jumps and edge jumps.

The number of rotations performed in the air determines whether the jump is a single, double, triple, or
quadruple (commonly known as a "quad"). The simplest jump is a waltz jump, which can only be done in
a half-leap and is not classified as a single, double, or triple jump. Triple jumps, other than the triple Axel,
are commonly performed by female single skaters. It is rare for a female skater to land a quadruple jump,
and very few female single skaters have been credited with quads in competition. Senior-level male
single skaters perform mostly triple and quadruple jumps in competition. The final of the six jumps to be
landed cleanly as a quad in international competition is the elusive quadruple Axel. A few male skaters
made valiant efforts to land the immensely difficult four-and-a-half revolution jump (most notably two-
time Olympic Champion from Japan, Yuzuru Hanyu), but failed to land one cleanly and fully-rotated. The
first clean and fully-rotated quad Axel was successfully landed by American men's skater Ilia Malinin at
the 2022 CS U.S. Classic,[43] 34 years after the first-ever quadruple jump (a quad toe loop) was landed by
Canada's Kurt Browning at the World Figure Skating Championships in 1988.[44]

Some elite skaters can complete a jump in about one second, with 26 inches of height and 10 feet in
distance. The takeoff speed of a jump can reach up to 25 kilometers per hour.[45] Prior to most jumps, a
figure skater needs to skate backward to build power and speed.[46]

Toe jumps
Toe jumps are launched by digging the toe pick of one skate into the ice, using it to vault into the air with
the opposite leg. The main toe jumps are (in order of score value):[47]

1. Toe loop – the skater takes off backwards from the outside edge of the right (or left) foot,
launching the jump using the opposite toe pick.
2. Flip (sometimes known as a toe salchow) – the skater takes off backwards from the inside
edge of the left (or right) foot and assists the take-off using the opposite toe pick.
3. Lutz – similar to the flip, but the skater takes off from the backward outside edge of the left
(or right) foot, launching the jump using the opposite toe pick.
All of the above descriptions assume a counter-clockwise direction of rotation, landing backwards on the
outside edge of the right foot. (For clockwise rotation, the skater takes off using the alternative foot and
lands backwards on the outside edge of the left foot.)

Edge jumps
Edge jumps use no toe assist, and include (in order of score
value):

1. Salchow – the skater takes off backwards from the

inside edge of the left (or right) foot, allowing the An Axel jump
edge to come round, the opposite leg helps to
launch the jump into the air.
2. Loop (also known as a Rittberger jump) – the skater takes off backwards from the outside
edge of the right (or left) foot.
3. Axel – the skater takes off forwards from the outside edge of the left (or right) foot. As this is
the only rotating jump to take off from a forward edge, it includes an extra half rotation.
Again, these descriptions assume a counter-clockwise direction of rotation, landing backwards on the
outside edge of the right foot. (For clockwise rotation, the skater takes off using the alternative foot and
always lands backwards on the outside edge of the left foot.)

Other jumps
Several other jumps are usually performed only as single jumps and in elite skating are used as
transitional movements or highlights in step sequences. These include the half toe loop (ballet jump), half
loop, half flip, walley jump, waltz jump, inside Axel, one-foot Axel, stag jump, and split jump. There are
two kinds of split jump:

Russian split, performed in a position that is similar to that of a straddle split

Spins
Spins are an element in which the skater rotates, centered on a single point on the ice, while holding one
or more body positions.[48] They are performed by all disciplines of the sport.[49] As The New York Times
says, "While jumps look like sport, spins look more like art. While jumps provide the suspense, spins
provide the scenery, but there is so much more to the scenery than most viewers have time or means to
grasp".[50] According to world champion and figure skating commentator Scott Hamilton, spins are often
used "as breathing points or transitions to bigger things"[50]

Figure skating spins, along with jumps, spirals, and spread eagles were originally individual compulsory
figures, sometimes special figures. Unlike jumps, spins were a "graceful and appreciated"[51] part of
figure skating throughout the 19th century. They advanced between World War I and World War II; by the
late 1930s, all three basic spin positions were used.[51]

There are two types of spins, the forward spin and the backward spin.[52] There are three basic spin
positions: the upright spin, the sit spin, and the camel spin. Skaters also perform flying spins and
combination spins.[53]

Lifts
Figure skating lifts are required elements in pair skating and ice
dance.[54] There are five groups of lifts in pair skating, categorized in
order of increasing level of difficulty.[23] Judges look for the following
when evaluating pair lifts: speed of entry and exit; control of the woman's
free leg when she is exiting out of the lift, with the goal of keeping the leg
high and sweeping; the position of the woman in the air; the man's
footwork; quick and easy changes of position; and the maintenance of
flow throughout the lift.[55] Twist lifts are "the most thrilling and exciting
component in pair skating".[55] They can also be the most difficult
movement to perform correctly.[56] They require more strength and
coordination than many other pair elements, and are usually the first or
second element in a program. According to the International Skating
Union (ISU), "the Woman must be caught in the air at the waist by the Pair skaters performing a
Man prior to landing and be assisted to a smooth landing on the ice on a one-arm overhead lift
backward outside edge on one foot"[57] during a twist lift.

The ISU defines dance lifts as "a movement in which one of the partners is elevated with active and/or
passive assistance of the other partner to any permitted height, sustained there and set down on the
ice".[58] Dance lifts are delineated from pair lifts to ensure that ice dance and pair skating remain separate
disciplines.[59] After the judging system changed from the 6.0 system to the ISU Judging System (IJS),
dance lifts became more "athletic, dramatic and exciting".[60] There are two types of dance lifts: short
lifts, which should be done in under seven seconds; and combination lifts, which should be done in
under 12 seconds.[58] A well-balanced free dance program in ice dance must include dance lifts.[61]

Turns, steps, moves

Along with other forms of skating, figure skating is one of the only human powered activities where
travelling backwards is integral to the discipline. The ability to skate well backwards and forwards are
considered to be equally important, as is the ability to transition well between the two.[62][63]

Step sequences are a required element in all four Olympic disciplines. The pattern can be straight line,
circular, or serpentine. The step sequence consists of a combination of turns, steps, hops and edge
changes. Additionally, steps and turns can be used as transitions between elements. The various turns,
which skaters can incorporate into step sequences, include:

Three-turn: the blade Bracket turn: the Mohawk: the two-foot

turns into the curve of blade is turned equivalent

of the lobe.

Rocker: one-foot turn Counter: one-foot Twizzles: traveling

lobe as well as change of lobe as one foot
direction well as direction

Choctaws are the two-foot equivalents of rockers and counters. Other movements that may be
incorporated into step sequences or used as connecting elements include lunges and spread eagles. An Ina
Bauer is similar to a spread eagle performed with one knee bent and typically an arched back.
Hydroblading refers to a deep edge performed with the body as low as possible to the ice in a near-
horizontal position.
Moves in the field is a pre-determined required sequence that demonstrated basic skating skills and edge
control. In the context of a competitive program, they include sequences that may include spirals, spread
eagles, Ina Bauers, hydroblading, and similar extended edge moves, along with loops, twizzles, and
different kinds of turns.

A spiral is an element in which the skater moves across the ice on a specific edge with the free leg held at
hip level or above. Spirals are distinguished by the edge of the blade used (inside or outside), the
direction of motion (forward or backward), and the skater's position. A spiral sequence is one or more
spiral positions and edges done in sequence. Judges look at the depth, stability, and control of the skating
edge, speed and ice coverage, extension, and other factors. Some skaters can change edges during a
spiral, i.e. from inside to outside edge. Spirals performed on a "flat" are generally not considered as true
spirals. Spiral sequences were required in women's and pair skating prior to the 2012–13 season,[64] but
from the 2012–13 season onward, they were replaced by the choreographic sequence. The choreographic
sequence consists of moves in the field, unlisted jumps, spinning movements, etc. and is required for the
men's, women's and pair free program.[65][66][67]

A death spiral is a required element of pair skating. There are four varieties distinguished by the lady's
edge and direction of motion. The man performs a pivot, one toe anchored in the ice, while holding the
hand of his partner, who circles him on a deep edge with her body almost parallel to the ice. As of 2011,
the woman's head must at some time reach her skating knee. The man must also be in a full pivot position
and the death spiral must be held for a minimum amount of rotation, depending on the level.

Competition format and scoring

The ISU is the governing body for international competitions in figure
skating, including the World Championships and the figure skating events
at the Winter Olympic Games. Medals are awarded for overall results; the
standard medals are gold for first place, silver for second, and bronze for
third place. U.S. Figure Skating also awards pewter medals for fourth-
place finishers in national events. Additionally, at the World, European,
Four Continents, and World Junior Championships, the ISU awards small
medals for segment results (short and free program) (Since 2009). A
medal is generally attributed to only one country, even if a partnership is
composed of skaters with different nationalities. A notable exception was
the pair skating partnership between Ludowika Eilers and Walter
Jakobsson; their 1910–11 medals were attributed to both Germany and
Finland.[68] Beyond the early 20th century, no skaters have been allowed

crossovers

In singles and pairs figure skating competition, competitors perform two

programs: the short program, in which they complete a set of required elements consisting of jumps, spins
and steps; and the free skate, also known as the long program, in which they have a slightly wider choice
of elements. Under both the 6.0 system and the ISU Judging System, the judges consider the "complete
package" when evaluating performances, i.e. the best jumper is not always placed first if the judges
consider the difference in jumping execution to be outweighed by another skater's speed, spins,
presentation, etc.[69][70]

Ice dance competitions formerly consisted of three phases: one or more compulsory dances; an original
dance to a ballroom rhythm that was designated annually; and a free dance to music of the skaters' own
choice. Beginning in the 2010–11 season, the compulsory and original dances were merged into the short
dance, which itself was renamed the rhythm dance in June 2018, before the 2018–19 season.

Skating was formerly judged for "technical merit" (in the free skate), "required elements" (in the short
program), and "presentation" (in both programs).[70] The marks for each program ran from 0.0 to 6.0, the
latter being the highest. These marks were used to determine a preference ranking (or "ordinal")
separately for each judge; the judges' preferences were then combined to determine placements for each
skater in each program. The placements for the two programs were then combined, with the free skate
placement weighted more heavily than the short program. The highest placing individual (based on the
sum of the weighted placements) was declared the winner.[73]

ISU Judging System

In 2004, in response to the judging controversy during the 2002 Winter Olympics, the ISU adopted the
International Judging System (IJS), which became mandatory at all international competitions in 2006,
including the 2006 Winter Olympics. The new system is sometimes informally referred to as the Code of
Points, however, the ISU has never used the term to describe their system in any of their official
communications.

Under the IJS, points are awarded individually for each skating element, and the sum of these points is
the total element score (TES). Competitive programs are constrained to include a set number of elements.
Each element is judged first by a technical specialist who identifies the specific element and determines
its base value. This is done using instant replay video to verify features that distinguish different
elements; e.g. the exact foot position at take-off and landing of a jump. A panel of nine judges then each
award a mark for the quality and execution of the element. This mark, called the grade of execution
(GOE), is an integer with a minimum value of −5 and a maximum value of +5.[40] The GOE mark is then
translated into another value by using the table of values in ISU rule 322. The GOE value from the nine
judges is then processed with a computerized random selection of nine judges, the highest and lowest
values are then discarded, and finally the average of the remaining seven is calculated. This average value
is then added to (or subtracted from) the base value to determine the total value for the element.[74]

Note: The IJS previously used a GOE scale of −3 to +3, but this was changed for the 2018–19 season.[75]

The program components score (PCS) awards points to holistic aspects of a program or other nuances
that are not rewarded in the total element score. The components are:

Composition : This evaluates how the program is designed in relation to the music;
how are the different elements connected; how is the available space used; how does
the choreography reflect musical phrase and form?

Presentation: This evaluates how the program is performed; what does the skater
express and project; what energy is created; what is the musical sensitivity and timing;
for Pair, Ice Dance and Synchronized skating is the skating appropriately synchronized
and showing awareness of space?

Skating skills: This mark assesses the skater's command of the blade over the ice,
including the ability to skate with power and ease. The judges look at variety and
clarity of edges, balance, body control, turns, steps, flow, power and speed.[76][77]

A detailed description of each component is given in ISU rule 322.2. Judges award each component a raw
mark from 0 to 10 in increments of 0.25, with a mark of 5 being defined as "average". For each separate
component, the raw marks are then selected, trimmed, and averaged in a manner akin to determining a
grade of execution. The trimmed mean scores are then translated into a factored mark by multiplying by a
factor that depends on the discipline, competition segment, and level. Then the five (or four) factored
marks are added to give the final PCS score.

The total element score and the program components score are added to give the total score for a
competition segment (TSS). A skater's final placement is determined by the total of their scores in all
segments of a competition. No ordinal rankings are used to determine the final results.

Other judging and competition

There are also skating competitions organized for professional skaters by independent promoters. These
competitions use judging rules set by whoever organizes the competition. There is no "professional
league". Well-known professional competitions in the past have included the World Professional
Championships (held in Landover, Maryland), the Challenge Of Champions, the Canadian Professional
Championships and the World Professional Championships (held in Jaca, Spain).

The Ice Skating Institute (ISI), an international ice rink trade organization, runs its own competitive and
test program aimed at recreational skaters. Originally headquartered in Minnesota, the organization now
operates out of Dallas, Texas. ISI competitions are open to any member that have registered their tests.
There are very few "qualifying" competitions, although some districts hold Gold Competitions for that
season's first-place winners. ISI competitions are especially popular in Asian countries that do not have
established ISU member federations. The Gay Games have also included skating competitions for same-
gender pairs and dance couples under ISI sponsorship. Other figure skating competitions for adults also
attract participants from diverse cultures.

World standings and season's bests

World standings
The world standing (WS) of a skater/couple is calculated based on the results over the current and
preceding two seasons. Competitors receive points based on their final placement at an event and the
event's weight. The following events receive points:[78]

ISU Championships (World, European, Four Continents, and World Junior Championships)
and Olympic Winter Games: The best result by points per season, the best two results by
points over the three seasons.
ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating and Final (senior and junior): The two best results by
points per season, the best four results by points over the three seasons.
International senior calendar competitions: The two best results by points per season, the
best four results by points over the three seasons.
Following the current season's World Championships, the results from the earliest season are deleted. A
new partnership starts with zero points; there is no transfer of WS points if a pair or ice dance couple split
up and form a new partnership.

These standings do not necessarily reflect the capabilities of the skater(s). Due to limits on entries to
events (no more than three from each country), and varying numbers of high-level skaters in each
country, skaters from some countries may find it more difficult to qualify to compete at major events.
Thus, a skater with a lower SB but from a country with few high-level skaters may qualify to a major
event while a skater with a much higher SB but from a country with more than three high-level skaters
may not be sent. As a result, it is possible for a skater who regularly scores higher to end up with a much
lower world standing.

The season's world ranking of a skater/couple is calculated similarly to the overall world standing but is
based on the results of the ongoing season only.[78]

Season's bests
The season's best (SB) of a skater/couple is the highest score achieved within a particular season. There
is an SB for the combined total score and the individual segment scores (short program/rhythm dance,
free skating/free dance). Only scores achieved at selected international competitions are considered;
scores from national competitions and some international events are disregarded. The best combined total
for each skater or couple appears on a list of season's bests,[79] and the list may be used to help determine
participants in the following season's Grand Prix series.

Skaters and couples also have personal best (PB) scores, i.e. the highest scores achieved over their entire
career, in terms of combined total and segment scores. However, PB scores are not completely
comparable if achieved in different seasons because the ISU regulations and technical rules are modified
before each new season.[80] There may be different requirements specified to achieve a certain level; the
required elements may change and new elements may be allowed (for example, two quads in the short
program were permitted starting in the 2010–11 season); and the point values may change (for example,
the values of quads were increased after the 2010 Olympics, and a second step sequence is no longer
assigned a level in the men's competition). As a result of these variations in the technical requirements,
the ISU places more weight on the season's bests, which are fully comparable within any one season.

Music and clothing

Music
For competitive programs, figure skaters were once restricted to instrumental music; vocals were allowed
only if they contained no lyrics or words.[81] Beginning in the 1997–98 season, the ISU decided to allow
lyrics or words in ice dance music. Although the rules were not relaxed for singles and pairs, judges did
not always penalize violations. At the 2011 World Championships, Florent Amodio's long program music
included words but an insufficient number of judges voted for a deduction.[82] In June 2012, the ISU
voted to allow skaters from all disciplines to choose music with words in their competitive programs
beginning in the 2014–15 season.[83][84]

Skaters may use professional music editors so that their music meets requirements.[85] Ice dancers are
required to skate to music that has a definite beat or rhythm. Singles and pair skaters more often skate to
the melody and phrasing of their music. For long programs, figure skaters generally search for music with
different moods and tempos.[86] Music selections for exhibitions are less constrained than for competitive
programs.

Clothing
Skaters are generally free to select their own attire, with a few restrictions.
In competition, women may wear a dress, typically with matching
attached briefs. This rule of costuming was created in response to Katarina
Witt's costume and performance at the 1988 Winter Olympics.[87] In 2004,
the rule was extended to allow women to wear trousers.[88] They may
wear opaque flesh-colored leggings or tights under dresses and skirts,
which may extend to cover their skates. Men must wear trousers – they
are not allowed to wear tights, although officials do not always impose a
deduction for violations.[89] Matching costumes are not required in pair
skating and ice dance.[90]

Competition costumes vary widely, from simple designs to heavily beaded

or trimmed costumes. Skaters risk a deduction if a piece of their costume
falls onto the ice surface. An official may stop a program if he or she An example of ice dance
deems there to be a hazard. Skaters and family members may design their costumes (Tessa Virtue and
own costumes, sometimes with assistance from their coach or Scott Moir at 2012 World
choreographer, or turn to professional designers.[90][91][92][93] Costumes Championships)

may cost thousands of dollars if designed by a top-level costume maker.

According to current ISU regulations, costumes in competition must be fair, non-revealing, and
appropriate for both short and long programs. Costumes should not be showy or exotic in nature.
Clothing, however, can reflect the genre of music chosen.[13] Although the use of flesh-colored fabric
means the costumes are often less revealing than they may appear, there have been repeated attempts to
ban clothing that gives the impression of "excessive nudity" or that is otherwise inappropriate for athletic
competition.[94] In general, accessories or props are not permitted in competition.[13] The ISU allowed an
exception for the original dance in the 2007–08 season but not since.

Eligibility

Age eligibility
To compete internationally on the senior level, skaters must be at least 17 before July 1 of the preceding
year. To be eligible for junior-level events, a skater must be at least 13 but under 19 before that date (or
21 for male pair skaters and ice dancers).[95][96] A skater must meet the age requirement before it
becomes July 1 in their place of birth. For example, Adelina Sotnikova was born a few hours into July 1,
1996, in Moscow and consequently, was not eligible to compete at Junior Worlds until 2011 and senior
Worlds until 2013.[97] The ISU's rules apply to international events. Many countries have no age
requirements for domestic non-ISU competitions, thus, some skaters compete at the senior level
nationally while not eligible for international competition.

The ISU has modified its age rules several times. Before the 1990s, 12 was the minimum age for senior
international competitions.[98] New rules were introduced in 1996, requiring skaters to be at least 15
before July 1 of the preceding year to compete at the Olympics, Worlds, Europeans, or Four
Continents.[95] The minimum age for all other senior internationals was 14 until July 2014, when it was
raised to 15. The age limit was then raised to 16 years old for the 2023–24 season before increasing to 17
for the 2024–25 season, in a move to raise the age limit gradually.[99] The move came after the 2022
Winter Olympics scandal over Kamila Valieva's doping allegations and the controversy over her
responsibility as a minor.[100]

During the 2005–06 season, Mao Asada of Japan was age-eligible to compete at the Grand Prix Final,
where she claimed the title, but she was not permitted to compete at the Olympics. For the 2008 World
Championships, the United States was obliged to send skaters who had placed 5th and 7th at nationals
because higher-placed skaters were too young, including a skater who missed the cutoff by 20
days.[95][101] The ISU has strictly enforced the rules in recent years.[95] However, American pair skater
Natasha Kuchiki was allowed to compete at the 1990 World Championships when she was two years too
young and American single skater Tara Lipinski, who was 13 at the time the 1996 rules were introduced,
was grandfathered into remaining eligible for future events, along with other skaters who had already
competed at the World Championships. A loophole also existed for a few years for underage skaters who
had medaled at Junior Worlds.[102]

As in gymnastics, skating has experienced controversy surrounding possible age falsification. On

February 14, 2011, questions emerged surrounding nine Chinese skaters. The Associated Press found that
birthdates listed on the Chinese Skating Association's website suggested five female skaters, Sui Wenjing,
Zhang Dan, Yu Xiaoyu, Geng Bingwa, and Xu Binshu, were younger than their ISU ages, and four male
skaters, Han Cong, Zhang Hao, Jin Yang, and Gao Yu, were older.[95] The dates disappeared from the
website by February 15.[103] On February 17, the ISU said there were no discrepancies for Zhang Dan,
Zhang Hao, and Xu Binshu between the birthdates listed on their passports, ISU registration forms and
the Chinese Olympic Committee's website.[103] Athletes in China sometimes face pressure to falsify their
age.[104]

Other eligibility rules

Skaters may represent a country of which they are not yet a citizen in most competitions, except the
Olympics which require citizenship.

At most international events, each country may send one to a maximum of three entries per discipline.
Consequently, even if a skater has a high season's best, he or she may not be sent to major events if their
country has many good skaters in their discipline. Some skaters have tried to circumvent this by
representing another country. In response, the ISU introduced rules barring skaters from international
events for a certain period of time. In the 2010 regulations, it was 24 months or more from the date of the
last ISU Championship.[105] In the 2012 regulations, the minimum was 18 months for singles and 12
months for pairs/ice dancers from the date of their last ISU Championships (Worlds, Europeans, Four
Continents, Junior Worlds) and 12 months if they competed in some other international competition.[106]
Competitors may sit out for much longer because they also have to obtain a release from their previous
federation. The ISU has set no limit to how long a country may hold skaters.[106]

Skaters may lose their ISU eligibility if they perform in an unsanctioned show or competition.

Beginning in the 2010–11 season, minimum scores were introduced for the World, European, or Four
Continents Championships. In the 2011–12 season, different minimum scores were introduced for the
Grand Prix series.

Competitors' expenses, income, and funding

Figure skating is an expensive sport.[107][108][109][110] This is particularly due to the costs of ice time and
coaching.[111] In the late 1980s, the expenses of a top-ten women's competitor at the U.S. Championships
reached nearly US$50,000 a year.[112] In October 2004, a U.S. Figure Skating article estimated the annual
expense at US$9,000–$10,000 for pre-juvenile, US$18,000 for juvenile, US$35,000–$40,000 for novice,
and said junior and senior levels were somewhat more expensive.[107] In the 2010s, American senior
national medalists had expenses in the mid-five-figure range.[108][113] Swiss skater Stéphane Lambiel
said his costs were around CHF 100,000 per season.[114] World champion Patrick Chan's expenses were
Can$150,000.[115] In 2015, CBC Sports estimated that a Canadian pair team had expenses of about
Can$100,000 per year.[116]

Prize money is relatively low compared to other sports.[117] A men's or women's singles skater who won
the 2011 World Championships earned US$45,000,[118] about 1.8% to 2.5% of the US$1,800,000–
$2,400,000 for winners of the tennis US Open and Australian Open.[119][120] A couple who won the pairs
or ice dance title split US$67,500.[118] A winner of the senior Grand Prix Final in December 2011 earned
US$25,000.[121]
Some national associations provide funding to some skaters if they meet certain criteria.[122] Many
skaters take part-time jobs and some have tried crowdfunding.[123][124] In Germany, many elite skaters
join the army to fund their skating.[125] In Italy, some skaters join police agencies' sport groups, such as
the Polizia Penitenziaria's Fiamme Azzurre (Carolina Kostner, Anna Cappellini, Luca Lanotte)[126][127] or
Polizia di Stato's Fiamme Oro (Federica Faiella, Paolo Bacchini).[128] Some competitive skaters depend
on income from shows.[129][130] Shows must be sanctioned by their association, i.e. skaters may lose their
competitive eligibility if they take part without permission. In some cases, skaters may feel pressure to
compete through injury to be allowed to perform in a show.[129] Others may become involved with
coaching younger athletes in order to fund their own training costs.

Injuries and health issues

In some countries, medical personnel may be slow to respond to accidents. At the 2000 World
Championships in Nice, France, a pair skater who had been injured in a lift accident lay on the ice for
several minutes and had to get up and leave the ice on his own before being offered medical
attention.[131]

Head injuries, falls and collisions

Competitive skaters generally do not wear helmets or other
protective gear. There is a risk of head injuries, particularly in pair
skating as a result of falls from lifts.[132][133] Although pair skaters
are most susceptible, serious head injuries can occur in all
disciplines, including ice dance.[134][135][136] Partners have
accidentally slashed each other with their skate blades.[137][138]
This may occur when partners drift too close during side-by-side
camel spins. Several female pair skaters have suffered head/face
injuries during this element, including Elena Berezhnaya,[139]
Tatiana Totmianina,[140] Jessica Dubé,[141] Mandy Wötzel,[142]
Galina Maniachenko (Efremenko),[143] and Elena Riabchuk.[144]

Commenting on falls and concussions, Madison Hubbell said that

"Most of the time, the worst falls are on things we kind of take for
granted."[134] Shin splints,[145] knee injuries, and back problems
are not uncommon.[6][146][147] Hip damage may occur as a result
of practising jumps and throws.[6][148] In rare cases, intensive Yuzuru Hanyu competes with his
training of spins may result in subtle concussions (Lucinda head bandaged after his accident at
Ruh).[149][150] the 2014 Cup of China

Injuries have also been sustained by skaters from different teams

when many skaters are practising on the ice.[151] Midori Ito collided with Laetitia Hubert at the 1991
World Championships, while Oksana Baiul and Tanja Szewczenko collided at the 1994 Olympics, but all
went on to compete. At the 2014 Cup of China the Japanese Yuzuru Hanyu, winner of the Olympic title a
few months before, and the Chinese Han Yan, collided during the warm up of the free program. Despite
being visibly injured, both skaters finished the competition.[152] On practice sessions with multiple
skaters on the ice, the skater whose music is playing conventionally has right of way. Also, pairs and ice
dancers skating as a unit have right of way over those skating separately as changing course is more
difficult for a couple.

Eating disorders and RED–S

Eating disorders are reportedly common in figure
skating[153][154][155] and can result in the development of relative
energy deficiency in sport (RED-S), formerly known as the
"female athlete triad". RED-S is a syndrome of three interrelated
conditions which can cause long-standing illness in girls and
women and even death. Body image and the need to maintain a fit
body is a very common issue in figure skating, as skaters age, their
bodies change and change the way they must approach the
sport.[156] Skaters such as Gracie Gold,[157] and Ashley Wagner
[158] have faced issues such as eating disorders and depression.

Doping
Figure skaters occasionally have positive doping results but it is
not common.[159] In a 1991 interview, three-time Olympic
champion Irina Rodnina admitted that Soviet skaters used doping
substances in preparation for the competitive season, stating: Gracie Gold at the 2016 Four
"Boys in pairs and singles used drugs, but this was only in August Continents Championship.

or September. This was done just in training, and everyone was

tested (in the Soviet Union) before competitions."[160]

History
Although people have been ice skating for centuries, figure skating in its current form originated in the
mid-19th century. A Treatise on Skating (1772) by the accomplished skater, Welshman Lt. 'Captain'
Robert Jones (c. 1740 – c. 1788), is the first-known book on figure skating. He designed skates that could
be attached to shoes by screws through the heels (rather than using straps), and these were soon available
from Riccard's Manufactory in London.[161]

Competitions were held in the "English style" of skating, which was stiff and formal and bore very little
resemblance to modern figure skating. Without changing the basic techniques used by skaters, only a
limited number of figure skating moves could be performed. This was still true in the mid-1800s before
improvements were brought about by American skater Jackson Haines, who was considered to be the
"father of modern figure skating". In the mid-1860s, Haines introduced a new style of skating,
incorporating free and expressive techniques, which became known as the "international style". Although
popular in Europe, the international style of skating was not widely adopted in the United States until
long after Haines's death.[162]

Early 1900s
 The International Skating
Union was founded in
1892. The first European
Figure Skating
Championships were held
in 1891 in Hamburg,
Germany (won by Oskar
Uhlig), and the first World
Figure Skating
Championships were held
Special figures by Nikolai Panin at in 1896 in Saint Petersburg,
the 1908 Olympics Russia (won by Gilbert
Fuchs). Only men
competed in the early
events but in 1902 a woman entered the World Championships for
the first time: British female skater Madge Syers competed in the
Jackson Haines is considered the
men's competition, finishing in second place behind Sweden's
father of modern figure skating.
Ulrich Salchow. The ISU quickly banned women from competing
against men, and established a separate "ladies" competition in
1906. Pair skating was introduced at the 1908 World Championships, where the title was won by Anna
Hübler and Heinrich Burger of Germany.

Figure skating was the first winter sport contested at the Olympics; it made its Olympic debut at the 1908
Summer Olympics in London.[1][163] On March 20, 1914, an international figure skating championship
was held in New Haven, Connecticut. This event was the forerunner of both the United States and
Canadian National Championships. However, international competitions in figure skating were
interrupted by World War I.

In the 1920s and 1930s, figure skating was dominated by Sonja Henie of Norway. Henie turned
competitive success into a lucrative professional career as a movie star and touring skater, also setting the
fashion for female skaters to wear short skirts and white boots.[164] The top male figure skaters of this
period included Sweden's Gillis Grafström and Austria's Karl Schäfer.

After World War II

Skating competitions were again interrupted for several years by World War II. After the war, with many
European rinks in ruins, skaters from the United States and Canada began to dominate international
competitions and to introduce technical innovations to the sport. Dick Button, 1948 and 1952 Olympic
Champion, was the first skater to perform the double Axel and triple loop jumps, as well as the flying
camel spin.

The World Figure Skating Championships did not include ice dance until 1952.[163] In its early years, ice
dance was dominated by British skaters, and until 1960 the world title was won every year by a British
couple, beginning with Jean Westwood and Lawrence Demmy.[31]

On February 15, 1961, the entire U.S. figure skating team and their coaches were killed in the crash of
Sabena Flight 548 in Brussels, Belgium en route to the World Championships in Prague. This tragedy
sent the U.S. skating program into a period of rebuilding.
Meanwhile, the Soviet Union rose to become a dominant force in the
sport, especially in the disciplines of pair skating and ice dance. Soviet
and Russian domination in pair skating began in the 1950s and
continued throughout the rest of the 1900s. Only five non-Soviet or
Russian teams won the Olympics and World Championships from 1965
to 2010.[165] When Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo of China won the gold
medal at the 2010 games, this was the first time since 1960 that a
Russian, Soviet, or Unified Team (CIS) flagged team did not win the
gold medal.[166][167][168][169] The 1967 World Championships was the
last event held on an outdoor rink.[170]

Effect of television and the present day

Russian pair skaters Ludmila
Compulsory figures formerly accounted for up to 60% of the score in Belousova and Oleg
singles figure skating, [171] meaning that skaters who could build up a Protopopov in 1968
significant lead in figures could win competitions even if they were
mediocre free skaters. As television coverage of skating events became
more important, the popularity of free skating increased because this part of the competition was televised
and shown to the general public, whereas the compulsory figures competition was not. The television
audience would complain when superior free programs sometimes failed to equate to gold medal
victories.[172] Beginning in 1968, the ISU progressively reduced the weighting of compulsory figures and
introduced the short program in 1973.[171] A critical issue was said to have been the continued failure of
Janet Lynn to achieve on the world stage despite her outstanding free skate programs. For example, she
missed out on a podium place at the 1971 World Championships after winning the free skate competition
decisively, which produced an uproar and loud booing from the audience during the medal ceremony.[172]

With these changes, the emphasis in competitive figure skating shifted to increased athleticism. Landing
triple jumps during the short program and the free skate became more important. By the 1980s, some
skaters began practising quadruple jumps. Jozef Sabovcik of Czechoslovakia landed a quad toe loop at
the 1986 European Championships which was recognized at the event but then ruled invalid three weeks
later due to a touchdown with his free foot.[173] At the 1988 World Championships, Kurt Browning of
Canada landed the first quad toe loop which has remained ratified.[174] Despite expectations, it was
several years before quads became an important part of men's skating.[173] In 1988, Japan's Midori Ito
became the first woman to land a triple Axel, pushing the athletic and technical level for women's
programs. Worth only 20% by 1989, compulsory figures were eliminated from international competition
in 1990.[171]

Television contributed to the sport's popularity by showing skaters in the kiss and cry area after
competing.[175] Television also played a role in removing the restrictive amateur status rules that once
governed the sport. In May 1990, the ISU voted to allow skaters intending to skate professionally to
return to ISU competition, provided that they obtained their national association's permission.[176] In
1995, in an effort to retain skaters who might otherwise have given up their eligibility to participate in
lucrative professional events, the ISU introduced prize money at its major competitions, funded by
revenues from selling the TV rights to those events.
 In 1984, more than 24 million people in Great Britain watched ice
dance pair Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean earn unanimous
6.0s for presentation, the only perfect score in Olympic skating
history, which was ranked the 8th greatest sporting moment in a
UK poll.[177][178] In the 1993 National Sports Study II, considered
by the Associated Press as the largest study of spectator sport
popularity in America, women's figure skating was the second
most popular spectator sport in America, just behind NFL football
Takahiko Kozuka waits for his marks out of over 100 sports surveyed.[179] The 1993 study found that
with coach Nobuo Sato in the "Kiss
three figure skaters – Dorothy Hamill, Peggy Fleming, and Scott
and cry" area.
Hamilton[180] – were among the eight most popular athletes in the
United States, of more than 800 athletes surveyed.[181] Dorothy
Hamill was statistically tied with Mary Lou Retton as the most popular athlete in America. The Tonya
Harding scandal in 1994 increased interest in figure skating.[182] The first night of the women's figure
skating competition in the 1994 Winter Olympics achieved higher Nielsen TV ratings than the Super
Bowl three weeks earlier and, to that date, was the most watched sports television program of all
time.[183]

To show support, spectators sometimes throw a variety of items onto the ice after the end of a figure
skating program, most commonly stuffed toys and flowers. Officials discourage people from throwing
flowers that are not fully wrapped because of the possibility of debris disrupting or endangering the
following skaters.[184][185]

Countries that have produced a great many successful skaters include Russia and the former Soviet
Union, the United States, Canada, Japan, China, France, Germany, and Italy. While the sport has grown in
East Asia, training opportunities in South Asia are limited due to a scarcity of ice rinks. India had only
four major indoor ice rinks as of 2011, but there were plans for ten more to be built, mostly in malls, over
the following five years.[186] As of 2016, three of these intended ten indoor rinks were built at Neptune
Magnet Mall,[187] Atria Millennium Mall,[188] and Lulu Mall[189] respectively.

Four skating has mostly disappeared, while synchronized skating, singles/pair skating and ice dance have
grown. On April 6, 2011, the International Olympic Committee officially confirmed the approval of a
figure skating team event, which was introduced at the 2014 Winter Olympics.[190] The elimination of the
compulsory dance segment provided space for the team event.[191] Each team is composed of a men's and
women's singles skater, a pair, and an ice dance duo. A maximum of ten teams can compete, with five
eliminated after the short program.[192] In December 2011, the ISU released details of the qualifying
system and the competition.[193]

According to writer Ellyn Kestnbaum, television helped figure skating become more celebrity oriented,
with high-profile skaters being treated like entertainers and famous athletes in other sports.[194] She states
that television has encouraged "casual fans and other members of the general public to understand skating
in terms of media-shaped parables about broader cultural issues,"[194] including anxieties about
femininity or masculinity, individuality versus conformity, and nationalistic sporting contests. Kestnbaum
also states that even though most skating broadcasts are produced by networks' sports divisions,
competitions, even the more serious ones, they are packaged with "more emphasis on the aesthetic
qualities of the skating—or of the female skaters—and on the pleasures of rooting for a home-country
hero than on the technical details that determine the winners".[194] Viewers who depend upon the
televised coverage of figure skating are limited in their access to information about it as a sport because
broadcasters present a week's worth of competition in a few hours and they are compelled to avoid
overloading viewers with too much information about the more technical aspects of the sport.[194]
Journalists and scholars who write about figure skating also tend to focus on the same broader cultural
issues.[195]
