Figure skating

Figure skating as a separate sport took shape in the 60s of the 19th century. The first competition took place in Vienna in 1882 among male figure skaters.

In figure skating, there are 5 disciplines: men's singles, women's singles, pair figure skating, group synchronized skating and sports dancing. Group synchronized skating is not yet included in the program of official competitions; a separate world championship is being held for this type of figure skating.

A figure skater in single skating must demonstrate mastery of all groups of elements in steps, spirals, spins, jumps. Important criteria are also: the connection of the athlete's movements with music, plasticity, aesthetics and artistry.

Spiral - A position with one skate on the ice and a free leg above hip level. The positions of the spirals differ from each other by the sliding foot, the edge (outside, inside), the direction of sliding and the position of the free leg (back, forward, sideways). In order for the spiral to be counted, you must be in the position for at least 7 seconds.

There are also different types of rotations: standing ("bend"), squatting ("top") and rotations in the "swallow" position (Libela).

Jumps are divided into rib and toe (serrated). The take-off from the ice in edge jumps occurs from the edge of the skate, in the toes with the push of the toe of the skate. Now skaters perform 6 types of jumps toe loop, salikh, rittberger, flip, lutz and axel.

In pair skating, along with traditional elements, there are elements that are performed only in this type of figure skating: supports, twists, throws, todes, joint and parallel rotations.

Sports ice dancing is the discipline of figure skating. They are outwardly similar to pair figure skating, but throws, support of the partner above the partner's head, twists and other "acrobatic" elements are prohibited here.
