Figure Skating

A clever skater can make a figure of eight on ice by performing a continuous loop pattern that resembles the number eight. This figure involves a series of curves and crossovers executed with precision and skill. It is a common maneuver in figure skating and ice dancing routines, showcasing the skater's control and agility on the ice.

An ice skate is not considered a shell structure in the context of structural engineering. Shell structures are typically thin, curved surfaces that derive their strength from their shape, such as domes or eggshells. Ice skates, on the other hand, are designed with a rigid boot and a blade for ice gliding, which do not exhibit the same structural principles as shell structures.

The ice skater pulls her arms close to her body to reduce her moment of inertia and spin faster due to the conservation of angular momentum. By extending her arms, she increases her moment of inertia and slows down her spin.

Ice skaters' outfits are typically called costumes or skating costumes. These outfits are designed to be flexible, lightweight, and visually appealing while still allowing the skater to move freely on the ice. Many skaters also incorporate sequins, sparkles, and unique designs to enhance their performance costumes.

A skate typically lives in ocean waters near the seafloor, ranging from cold temperate to tropical regions. They are bottom-dwelling creatures and can be found in a variety of habitats such as rocky reefs, sandy bottoms, and kelp forests.

Skateboards are typically made of multiple layers of maple wood that are glued together to create a strong and flexible deck. Maple is a popular choice for skateboard decks due to its durability and ability to withstand the high impact and stress of skateboarding tricks.

To paint ice skate blades, first remove the blades from the skates. Clean them thoroughly with rubbing alcohol to remove any dirt or debris. Use spray paint designed for metal surfaces to paint the blades, following the manufacturer's instructions for best results. Allow the paint to fully dry before reattaching the blades to the skates.

The cost of ice skating can vary depending on the location and whether it's peak hours or not. Generally, you can expect to pay around $10-20 per person for a session that typically lasts 1-2 hours. Some ice rinks offer group discounts, so it's worth checking if there are any available for 2-3 people.

Not usually. Sometimes if you are doing things with other people, grabbing your own blades, or fall akwardly, you will get cut. I've been skating for 12 years and have only gotten cut once.

Probably, Michelle Kwan is the most famous skater in the world. She is known as figure skating legend, with two medals in the olympic games, and five gold medals in world championship.

Also, Yu-na Kim and Asada Mao are the current most famous and popular skaters.

Neither, really. It mostly depends on what you decide to start with. People who skate in hockey skates generally fall over on the toe picks when they try figure skates, and even accomplished figure skaters say they feel like they're gonna fall over when they put on hockey skates. So it's pretty subjective.

One thing I can say from personal experience, figure skates encourage much better posture and skating technique than hockey skates, as figure skates require you to straighten your back out much more to skate in/not fall over on the toepicks in them compared to hockey skates, I started in hockey skates and switched to figure like a week ago, so yeah.

The only bad part of figure skates is, if you get a higher end pair to just start out in, the toe picks will be close to the ice, so if you lean forward much at all, you'll fall on your face. The other issue is, up to about the 80s, figure skates were made of a single layer of leather, that you could move your ankle around in, like a combat boot. I find these really really hard to skate in, due to the lack of ankle support, compared to hockey boots. I'm sure if you start in them, you can eventually get used to them, but after starting in hockey skates, I could not at all. However, newer figure skates are as stiff/stiffer than most hockey skates, so that's no longer an issue, but I'm just saying this if you find some cheap $20 brand new Chinese "figure skates" or find some older skates at a garage sale or something.

To win Olympic gold in the ladies' figure staking. Unfortunaly, she never won gold. He best is a sliver at the 1998 Nagano Winer Olympics.

If it's your first Double Axel attempt, you need to do some walk-throughs first. (A walk-through is where you walk out the jump without actually jumping.) Now you are ready to try from stand-still. Position your feet so that your left is facing where you want to jump, and your right is behind your left, in a perpendicular manner. This is a "T" position. Now, push off with your right foot and glide with your left for a short while. During this time, you need to bend your right leg and bring your right knee forwards. Once your knee is in front of your body, you will push off the ice with your left foot and rotate two and a half times around, landing on your right leg.

**This jump takes a lot of patience and practice.

yes you can get figure skates but you can also figure skate in normal skates aswell xx

i am a 12 yr old figure skater and what momentum has to do with it is if you jump or spin, you need alot of momentum to get you to jump higher!

SOrry, 12 year old girl, you arent allwoed on this site. Be gone.

It wasn't really an injury but a condition known as 'chronic exertional compartment syndrome' which caused serious pain in her legs due to muscles not receiving a proper supply of blood. She had surgery to relieve the condition.

She returned to competition at the 2009 Canadian Championship and won the gold medal with partner Scott Moir.

Dorothy Hamill dropped out of Eastern Junior High School (grades 7-9) in Riverside Connecticut. She received private tutoring while pursuing her skating career. It is unclear if she earned a high school diploma.

Absolutely, you can skate on your hockey skates before you bake them. In fact, depending on how the boot fits, it's actually recommended.

What baking actually does is cause accelerated breakdown of the boot. It heats all the bindings and seams of the boot so that that it can expand and form to your foot allowing for a more comfortable fit. If, when you first put the boot on, you have slightly painful pressure-points or tightness on your foot, then baking is the best way to relieve or remove these problems. If, on the other hand, the boot feels good when you first put it on, then baking isn't necessary or required. It is actually better to let the boot breakdown naturally through use.

my friends and i call it skating

As of March 2010, it has been confirmed that Christopher Dean had split with his wife, Jill Trenary. So no, Christopher Dean is no longer married.

Sasha Cohen of the United States. She had been a favorite to win, and had a slim lead after the short program, but Sasha is notorious for never being able to skate a clean competition; she usually skates one program beautifully, and makes mistakes in the other, and she did so at the 2006 Olympics. She and Russia's Irina Slutskaya both made mistakes in their free skate, which allowed Shizuka Arakawa to come from third place to win Japan's first gold medal in women's figure skating.

An Axel is when you jump forward into mid-air and turn one and a half rotations in the air.You land backwards on the opposite foot you took off on.
