	Figure skating - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Figure skating is an ice skating sporting event where individuals, mixed couples, or groups perform spins, jumps, and other "moves" on the ice, often to music.
		Figure skates differ from hockey skates most visibly in having a set of large, jagged teeth called toe picks (also known as "toe rakes") on the front of the blade.
		Compulsory figures, in which skaters use their blades to draw circles, figure 8s, and similar shapes in ice, and are judged on the accuracy and clarity of the figures and the cleanness and exact placement of the various turns on the circles.

	Figure skating - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Competition outfits for skaters of both sexes, especially in ice dance, are often theatrical and revealing, in spite of repeated attempts to ban clothing that gives the impression of "excessive nudity" or that is otherwise inappropriate for athletic competition.
		Biellmann spins, where the skater pulls free leg from behind her (or very rarely him), over the head.
		Doughnut spins, a variation of a back camel spin where the skater pulls the blade of the skate of the free leg backward with one or both arms while arching the back to create a horizontal circular shape with the body.

	Figure skating - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Moves in the field (known in the UK as field moves), which have replaced compulsory figures as a discipline to teach the same turns and edge skills in the context of fluid free skating movements instead of being constrained to artificially precise circles.
		Upright spin (or corkscrew spin), in which a skater maintains a vertical position, often with the free leg crossed in front of the skating leg.
		Many of the best skaters are from Russia, the United States, Canada and Japan.

	Figure Skater's Waltz
		The figure skater, coach, and choreographer must fit these elements together into a program that is pleasing to the audience and to the judges, since the program will be judged on both artistic and technical merit.
		The skater endures an intense apprenticeship in learning the elements of the sport; there are countless cold mornings filled with doubt, disappointment, frustration, endless repetition, and physical exhaustion.
		But once the figure skater learns to operate within the rules, the skater is able to perform wondrous works, performing feats filled with excitement and great beauty.

	Figure Skating
		A jump in which the skater takes off from his or her skating foot without bringing the free foot in contact with the ice to assist the takeoff is referred to as an "edge jump." The Axel, Loop and Salchow are common edge jumps.
		Skaters select the mood and tempo of their music and are allowed four minutes to display a full range of technical skills and inventiveness using choreography of their own design.
		A skater's carriage and position relative to the ice is referred to as his or her "line." The term also is used in ballet and dance.

	The Biomechanics of Skating: Conservation of Angular Momentum
		Additionally, in the skater's short program, there is a minimal required number of revolutions a skater must complete in his or her spins.
		The objectives of this unit is to use example from figure skating to become familiar with the concept of conservation of angular momentum, to be able to solve basic angular momentum problems, and to learn great examples from figure skating for teaching the conservation of angular momentum to your students.
		When a figure skater is in the air, he or she is rotating about his or her center of mass and possess a certain amount of angular momentum.

	The Physics of Everyday Stuff, by Sam Hokin
		This is the result of conservation of angular momentum: as the skater reduces her rotational inertia by pulling her arms and leg in, her rotation speed must increase to maintain constant angular momentum.
		A spinning figure skater has a nearly frictionless contact with the ice, and there is little net torque on her body.
		When a figure skater draws her arms and a leg inward, she reduces the distance between the axis of rotation and some of her mass, reducing her moment of inertia.

		World figure skating champion Michelle Kwan spent her first day on her own yesterday, a day after she fired her longtime coach, Frank Carroll, less than four months before the start of the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
		Veteran figure skating observers could not recall a skater of this caliber firing her coach so close to an Olympic Games.
		While elegant and technically accomplished on the ice, Kwan seemed to lack pizzazz in her recent performances and was hesitant to try triple-triple combination jumps that other elite skaters manage to land.

		As an Adult competitor, the biggest frustration for me, was being forced to compete against skaters who had been skating all their lives and just happened to be over the age of 25.
		Determined not to be a "sandbagger" I went ahead and passed the 3rd figure test in June of that year.
		This is a disadvantage because as the event goes on it becones harder and harder for the judges to remember the earlier skaters.
