Figure Skating

From my experiance as an ice skater, there is not always 4 judges. But why there is more then 2 or 3 judges is because each judge is looking for a different technique in your skating. Like, one is looking to make sure are your jumps are technically right. Another may be for your emotion and creativity and another may be looking at your speed and overall strategy. That's why sometimes judges scores can be so varied.

Yes, Nancy is Michelle's elder sister.

Canada has dominated for figure skating because Canada is really cold.

She certainly appeared to be... as did his brother!

Canadian figure skater Jennifer Robinson did not win an Olympic medal. She competed in one Olympics, the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City, and finished 7th in ladies singles.

No because the ships lengths are too short and the beam is too short for an ice skating rink

ok, Tessa Virtue's b-day is May 17 and Scott Moir's b-day is Sep. 2. Right now, (its 2010) Scott's 22 and Tessa's 20. Tessa was born in 1989 and Scott was born in 1987.

I'm a big Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir fan!

The risk is that there is a high chance of crashes and accidents to happen. Ice skaters will try to dodge each other but some times when concentrating it is hard to see people, and that sometimes the skaters will have a blind side on somethings, also the ice skaters looking out for people depends on the age of the skater as in little children will not check and will get in the way and skaters will try to move out the way for so they don't get killed but the other skater Will then hurt themselves. You can still have quite a lot of skaters on the ice if there is a formant they are following like they only have to follow one blade track the same on each side so they all jump in the same place but that's only going in one big lesson with only them on the ice.

It was 10.0

Its the level you are in, junior is one of them

Nancy Kerrigan first started figure skating when she was 6 years old.

I don't think Kim Yu-Na got a plastic surgery.

Well I know that Torville and Dean won it in 1984 with maximum points and that figure skating has been part of the Olympics since 1924. Sorry I don't know much but I hope that it helped you.

Novice inline skaters travel around at speeds of 5 to 10 MPH on flat land.

The best competitive inline skaters average between 18 and 22 MPH on long hauls with burst much higher than that.

I have been skating religiously for 3 years, averaging between 100 and 300 miles per month. My overall average speed (as tracked by my Garmin 305) is around 13 MPH.

One of the things that sets the competitive skaters so far apart is that the courses they use are usually fairly flat and have usually been prepped fairly well. On the courses that I normally use I have to compete with cars, stop at stop signs, navigate through gravel (especially near construction areas), and deal with rough surfaces. I'd probably average 15-16 MPH on a flat, smooth, prepped course. On one really nice two mile stretch of asphalt I can average 17MPH from one end and back ...

yes, there is competition so it is considered a sport. also, you work your muscle's.

by the way, even chess is considered a sport because it has competitions

In the pairs event, Elena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze of Russia won the gold medal over Jamie Sale and David Pelletier of Canada, despite the fact that many believed the Canadians had performed better. Later, it was revealed that the French judge, Marie Reine LeGougne, had been pressured by her federation's president to vote in favor of the Russian pair in exchange for a vote for the French ice dance team of Anissina and Peizzerat (who later won the gold medal in ice dancing). Because of the scandal, a second set of gold medals was awarded to Sale and Pelletier, and in 2003, a new scoring system was instituted in figure skating in an attempt to prevent future scandals of this kind.

you need to make sure you have a steady posture think of the steps or how to do it in your head get alot of speed spin with a flat back and then jump good luck

ISI stands for Ice Skating Institute. ISI is a figure skating association that focuses on the more recreational aspects of figure skating, yet still holds many local and national competitions, as well as learn-to-skate programs.

Technically you can, but with much difficulty. You need your all your toes to be there to balance for you, and in figure skating, balance is the key.

Because Skateboarders { dont take me wrong here im a skateboarder here }

but we tend to mess around with people and do bad things, bikers just ride.nothing more nothing less.

ive never really been a skater, but ive done gymnastics, and gymnastics can be HARD. you have to practice for several, hardcore hours just about every day for beam, bars, floor, vault, and conditioning (about 4 hours total everyday or every other day). skating involves constantly learning, trying, and falling, but im not sure if you have to work out for it. honestly, it all just all depends.
