Posters Michelle Kwan Buy this Poster at AllPosters.com Figure skating is an ice skating sporting event where individuals and mixed couples compete to try to perform the most spectacular and accurately-performed elements while skating to music. The term 'figure skating' comes from a traditional element of the competition, compulsory figures, in which skaters used their blades to draw circles, figure 8s, and similar shapes in ice, being judged on the accuracy and clarity of the figures. This is no longer a part of modern figure skating competition.

"And it’s very special to know that their presence in the Gateway City will go a long way toward inspiring the young people in the area who look up to these athletes.

In recent years, total attendance for the Championships approached 125,000. The Championships have also enjoyed impressive ratings on ABC, ESPN and ABC Family. In 2006, the event will attract more than 1,500 athletes, coaches and officials to St. Louis. They will be responsible for filling 9,000 hotel room nights at a time of year when hotel occupancy rates in the region are normally at their lowest. Based on previous Championships and future projections, the economic impact of the event could be $15 million or more.

Sports Point/Counterpoint: The Olympic debate: Is figure skating really a sport? By Point - Christian Senger/Counterpoint - Adam Caparell/Daily Campus Staff Published: Tuesday, February 12, 2002 Point- It's one of the age-old questions amongst athletic fans. Is "such-and-such" an actual sport? This inquiry always seems to come up the most around the world's biggest athletic event: the Olympics. The Olympics features a wide assortment of events, everything from hockey to curling and sometimes certain events come under the fire of that question, is this a sport? In my senior year of high school, I was on the track team, which is one of those not so glamorous sports. So I feel it's an injustice when someone who is working hard at something has to try and defend why what they are doing is an actual sport, which is something I did on a few occasions last year. The subject under scrutiny is figure skating. Some people feel it is not a sport and they have some outlandish reasons why, but it should be clear that figure skaters are in fact athletes that participate in a "real" sport.

Bush U.S. Military al-Qaeda Osama bin Laden Olympic Figure Skating: A Sport on Thin Ice By RICHARD LACAYO JOHN GICHIGI/GETTY IMAGES Jamie Salé and David Pelletier at the Team Canada press conference Friday Interview: Canadian Skating Judge Jean Senft Robert Sullivan: U.S. Skating Judge Tells of Being Approached to Trade Votes Special: The Winter Games Saturday, Feb. 16, 2002 There were a lot of smiles at the final outcome of the figure-skating fiasco at the Winter Games, especially from the Canadians. Jamie Sale and David Pelletier, who had been forcing smiles all week, flashed real ones when they heard that their silver medals in the ferociously disputed pairs skating event would be traded in for gold. But what made the biggest difference last week were tears. Maybe this is what people mean by a watershed event. All last week in Salt Lake City's Olympic Village and in many other parts of the world, there was speculation that someone had leaned on Le Gougne to vote for the Russians in exchange for Russia's vote for the French team in the ice-dancing competition. One Olympic skating judge, who asked to remain anonymous, insisted to TIME that a deal had been struck: "The French have been trying to figure out how to win in ice dancing. I know Gailhaguet has been working for those votes." Gailhaguet denies those claims and suggests that pressure was brought upon Le Gougne from "left and right"implying that it came from Canadian skating officials as well. Whatever the truth turns out to be, international figure skating and the Olympic movement itself have been shaken as never before. Even before Tonya Harding went gunning for Nancy Kerrigan, figure skating had an image problem. Not on the ice. On the ice it's all double Axels and triple Salchows and Kristi Yamaguchi twirling straight onto the Wheaties box. Say all you want about the smiley dudes on their snowboards, but when it comes to making the Winter Games a global fascination and a very considerable cash machine, it's the Brian Boitanos and Michelle Kwans of the world who count most.
