Figure skating at the Olympics

Figure skating plays a huge role in the Winter Olympics. It was included in the program of world famous competitions in 1908. This ancient and insanely beautiful winter sport, in which athletes show their charisma and grace to the whole world, combining it with dangerous and by no means easy tricks, definitely deserves to take place in competitions that have been held for more than a hundred years.

Not everyone can participate in the Olympic Games in this sport, because only skaters representing countries, national figure skating federations, which are members of the International Skating Union, are allowed to participate in them.

More than 100 people participate in the qualification, who are the best athletes in this discipline and are selected from their country individually. 80% of the places of athletes who have the right to participate in this world sports festival are determined based on the results of the World Figure Skating Championship a year earlier.

Figure skating is a hard sport. The difficulty lies not only in the performance of certain special elements, but also in the presentation of the performance itself to the audience and judges. The show can be both singles and pairs, in which the competitors show the grace of speed skating perfectly coordinated and perfectly choreographed to the music.

If you love beautiful, sporty and at the same time insanely breathtaking events, then do not miss this most beautiful sport in the Winter Olympics. Athletes are ready to show you a real show, it will amaze you and cause long-lasting emotions that will be stored in your memories for a lifetime.
