Figure skating, or artistic skating is a method of ice skating using choreographed routines set to music. During the routines, skaters perform various jumps, spins and footwork techniques of varying difficulties.

Judging and Scoring
In competition, figure skaters perform at least two different routines, which must contain certain key elements, before a panel of judges. The routines are judged on five components: Skating skills, choreography, transitions, interpretation and performance/execution. Each judge gives the skater(s) a mark out of ten on each component. The marks are then averaged using specific factors to provide the final score. -
