Disciplines in Figure Skating

As a sport, figure skating has numerous disciplines, some of which are entered as full Olympic sport. Figure skating disciplines include the following:

• Singles competition. Here, individuals perform their routine such as jumps, spins, spirals, and other artistic elements. Singles competition in figure skating is divided into fields for both men and women.
• Pair skating. This type of figure skating features a tandem of a man and a woman. They must perform their routine in unison. One novelty here is the so-called throw jump where the man throws the woman in a jump. Sometimes the woman is held high above the man’s head, with the man holding his partner with only an arm.
• Ice dancing. Ice dancing and paired figure skating share similarities, but their main difference is that throwing is not allowed in ice dancing wherein lifts are allowed only up to the level of one’s shoulder. The major emphasis in ice dancing is footwork in synchronous with the music.
• Synchronized skating. Synchronized skating is for a group of skaters with members of up to 20. This is essentially the same as ice dancing, although here, an additional emphasis is given to the participant’s formation. Basic formations include wheels, blocks, lines, and circles, which demands rapid and complex transitions between formations.
