The Perfect Pose

Figure skating is renowned for its precision and athletic prowess. It’s also one of the most exhilarating sports to watch with its mixture of spins, jumps, lifts, and death spirals. This is why it was the first event added to the Winter Olympics roster when the first games happened in 1908.

There are also various Olympic event types such as the men’s singles, ladies singles, pair skating, and ice dance. Over and above this, non-Olympic disciplines also exist, such as synchronized skating, Theater on Ice, and figure skating. Many skaters end up in showbiz after their professional athletic career ends.
