As of January 13, 2010, that has not yet been determined. The results of the United States Figure Skating Championships, held between January 14 and January 24, will determine who the members of the U.S. figure skating team will be. The U.S. will send two athletes to compete in ladies singles figure skating at the 2010 Games in Vancouver. Alissa is the defending United States ladies champion and should she win again she will definitely be going to Vancouver.
Figure skating
Although not called synchronized skating, the pairs competition is just that - two skaters doing the same thing at the same time, judged by their ability to perform at the same pace and display an artistic interpretation of the music.
Figure skating has better skating skill than hockey. However, hockey is a team sport and game, and figure skating is an "art" and to learn it, you pretty much have to go through the rigors you'd do in learning any other art. It's actually very similar to lots of martial arts, the skill sets needed. Hockey, though, is a fun game, like soccer, and different skills are needed for that game, like stick handling, ability to work on a team, etc, that figure skating wouldn't require. One thing, though, that people don't realize, in a race, equivalent level figure skater and hockey player, the figure skater will usually win against the hockey player, the better technique from figure skating would make a better hockey player for sure, just both sides usually never want to try each other's sport.

Speed skating is based on skating for speed, not style. Figure skating is the opposite, as it skates for style and not always speed. Speed skating requires: -Lower cut boot, almost like a shoe -Longer blades than artistic skaters -the objective is to go fast, not to impress the judges Figure skating: -based on competing in a number of levels and elements -consists of jumps, spins and footwork -artistry and difficulty are considered when judging -higher cut boot -regular length blade, but with a toe pick and edges
