Figure Skating

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.

If I was you, I would drop the competition. For multiple reasons. 1) Its not safe to skate when your injured. If it is the male parter who is injured i would especially drop out because he will most likely be lifting you; which would be extremely dangerous. 2) You can't skate without costumes. If you have a specific person that makes them for you, or you know of someone that could fix it, then you may get lucky. But they won't let you skate if its a major competition without costumes. 3) Dizziness is not a good sign. In ice skating you do many spins and dizziness could affect your vision, and you could get hurt.

So basically these are my reasons that i suggest you consider. If your situation isn't that severe you may still be able to compete. It just depends on you and your determination and commitment. I hope i could help you. =]

The oldest athlete to compete in Olympic figure skating was Joseph Savage of the United States who was 52 years, 267 days old when he competed in mixed pairs competition at the 1932 Games in Lake Placid. He and his partner, Gertrude Meredith, finished 7th out of 7 pairs competing.

Yes, he is. He dated Johnny Weir for roughly three years.

There is really no correct answer to this question. It depends on what each person thinks. Figure skating is hard because you've got to be able to twirl and then stop twirling and not get dizzy, and also executing jumps perfectly. In hockey, you have to be able to slam into players and continue on, and focus on a small puck while focusing on keeping it under you control.

In my experience, figure skaters tend to be able to beat hockey players in races, but hockey is a game in and of itself, which skating is only a part of, however, figure skaters are usually better skaters, but you could be the best skater in the world and still not good at playing on a team, handling a puck, etc.

Michelle Kwan, when she was eight years old, would wake up at 3AM to skate before school and after school right after.

Hope this helps!!

short booted leather skates. normally its good to eventually get them personally made so that the heel can be measured to your height and it will make it easier on your back. its good to get new blades every year or also if your going to a long term commitment to your skates

Being pretty! She is the most beautiful figure skater in the world!

If you want to take the risk of having a miscarraige, then go ahead.

Four Turns

4-5 maybe even 7 times a week, when they are competing it was 7 times a week, during tours they didn't have as much time so it was maybe only 4-5 times a week.

I'm a figure skater myself , and most of the time during competition we don't wear one.

however, if we have a certain type of dress we can wear a strapless once.

dance, definatly. figure skating is much too hard. im in Pre-juv, that means i have already passed 2 rounds of a series of level. it has taken me 3 1/2 years to get here. that's still not as far as my friends! its too hard. dance, has more flexibility. figure skating soon becomes your life. Dance is also more stable. figure skating i can assure you, about twice a month you will cry. from stress, the hard work, school. and 14 years old?! does she even no how to get on the skates? i think dance. but that's my opinion. i love figure skating so much. i am addicted. this is all coming from a 12 year old.

At the base of most frozen-water man-made ice rinks are layers of sand, through which pipes run to keep the ice cold.

Yes. This is one of the hardest jumps. Other people may say differently, but, many girls/boys have bcome stumped due to this jump and have quit figure skating. :(

There are multiple parts to a hockey skate. You have the blade, the chassis(which is the white part) also known as a tuuk, the boot(or what I believe is called the quarter), the toe, the tongue, and the liner as well as the base.

After the attack on Nancey Kerrigan Michelle Kwan was able to come in second behind Tonya Harding so she would have but because Kerrigan was not able to compete, the USFSA sent Kerrigan to the Olympics anyway dropping Michelle out. Though she went as an alternate, she did not compete.

in ice skating, you can burn more calories in the cold but in roller skating there's so many things you can do

she was 6 years old when she started competing but she was 2 when she started to skate

Juggling three balls is a good hand-eye exercise. You need stamina, so running is a given.

Practicing balance is near impossible because one day you'll be balanced, the next day you might not be. Ab exercises, like planks, and leg exercises like wall sits will help stance and being sturdy. Just be in shape, because you need to be fast, and not only once, but for the whole game, so you need to stay fit to keep up endurance.
