It was not until 1924, in Chamonix, that figure skating officially entered the program of the <strong>Winter Olympics<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\ud83c\udfad The disciplines of figure skating.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, figure skating is divided into. <strong>four main categories<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\ud83e\uddcd Single (male and female)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Athletes perform on their own, with short and long programs that combine <strong>Jumps (triple, quadruple), spins, steps and choreography<\/strong>. Expressiveness is crucial, as is technical precision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\ud83e\udd1d Pairs (pair skating)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A couple consisting of a man and a woman perform together spectacular elements such as <strong>Overhead lifts, tossed jumps, synchronized spins<\/strong> and complex steps. Harmony and synchronism are key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\ud83d\udc83 Ice dancing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Less jumping, more choreography. Dance enhances musicality, elegance and rhythm. The main elements are. <strong>Twizzles (synchronized spins), choreographed lifts and dance patterns<\/strong>. Much closer to the actual dance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\ud83c\udf0d Team competition (team event)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Introduced in 2014, it is a <strong>competition between nations<\/strong>: Each team fields skaters in all specialties, adding up the scores. A kind of Olympic \"World Cup\" on ice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\ud83d\udccf How the scoring works<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2004, the <strong>ISU Judging System<\/strong>, more detailed than the old \"6.0 system.\"<br>The final score is the sum of two components:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Technical Elements Score (TES)<\/strong> - For the difficulty and correct execution of jumps, spins, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Program Components Score (PCS)<\/strong> - for interpretation, transitions, choreography, performance and skating skills.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Each program (short and free) has its own score, and the sum of the two determines the final ranking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\ud83c\udf1f The great Olympic icons.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\ud83e\uddca Men:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\ud83c\uddf7\ud83c\uddfa <strong>Evgeni Plushenko<\/strong> - charisma and power, gold in 2006<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83c\uddef\ud83c\uddf5 <strong>Yuzuru Hanyu<\/strong> - double gold (2014, 2018), sublime technique<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 <strong>Nathan Chen<\/strong> - 2022 Olympic champion, master of quadruplets<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\ud83d\udcab Women:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\ud83c\uddf7\ud83c\uddfa <strong>Alina Zagitova<\/strong>, \ud83c\uddef\ud83c\uddf5 <strong>Shizuka Arakawa<\/strong>, \ud83c\uddf0\ud83c\uddf7 <strong>Yuna Kim<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\ud83c\uddee\ud83c\uddf9 <strong>Carolina Kostner<\/strong> - bronze in Sochi 2014, pure elegance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\ud83c\udfb6 Why skating wins the heart<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than other sports, figure skating speaks <strong>the language of art<\/strong>: every athlete is also a performer; every race is a performance. It's not enough to jump high or turn fast: you have to tell a story, <strong>excite the audience<\/strong>, convey a feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a sport that combines music, theater and athleticism in one fascinating formula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2744\ufe0f Toward Milan-Cortina 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the Winter Olympics returning to Italy, figure skating will have an extraordinary showcase.
