Why do skaters like baggy clothes?
Skateboarders wear baggy clothing for a number of reasons, including comfort, ease of movement, and protection. The less restrictive nature of this type of clothing and its ability to withstand frequent falls make it an ideal choice for skateboarding.
Why do female figure skaters not wear pants?
Swedish figure skater Josefina Taljegård, the only athlete in a field of 30 to wear pants at the Beijing Olympics’ women’s figure skating competition, stood out in a dramatic black one-piece that felt like classic Audrey Hepburn. Taljegård chose the pants because it fits the music and she feels strong and confident in this kind of clothes. No rule dictates the decision, but cultural expectations of femininity and tradition make skirts the de facto competition uniform.
Why do ice skaters wear so little?
Ice skating is an elegant and graceful sport that requires the skaters to wear elegant and tight-fitting outfits in order to move freely and effectively on the ice.
Which skaters are dating?
The Winter Olympic games in PyeongChang, South Korea, will feature a variety of cold weather sports, with many of the figure skating and ice dancing pairs being couples both on and off the ice. Alexa Scimeca Knierim and Chris Knierim, Team USA’s only figure skating pair, will be the first married U. S. couple to attend the games in 20 years. The couple first met in 2016 after Chris’s mom asked Alexa to skate with him, and she initially turned them down but changed her mind after seeing him at competitions.
The couple’s skating game has only improved since they became a couple, and Chris believes that their biggest asset is their ability to make people feel something when they skate together. He believes that people will feel the emotions they’re trying to portray when they skate together, making them feel something real and not acting.
In summary, the Winter Olympic games in PyeongChang will feature a variety of couples, including Alexa Scimeca Knierim and Chris Knierim, Madison Chock and Evan Bates, Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue, Penny Coomes and Nick Buckland, and Penny Coomes and Nick Buckland.
Do figure skaters have a dress code?
Men in all disciplines must wear trousers and no tights, while women in singles and pairs skating can wear skirts, trousers, and tights, including unitards. The “Katarina Rule” was introduced in 1988 by Witt’s ensemble, which required a skirt covering hips and posterior for ladies’ competition. Ice dancing has stricter rules, with a woman wearing a skirt that goes around her entire waist, covering most of the upper body, and not hiding the body line of the skaters. The stricter costume rules may be due to couples in ice dancing pushing the envelope more frequently.
Why do figure skaters kiss?
The kiss and cry area is a designated area in a figure skating rink where skaters wait for their marks to be announced after their performances. The name comes from the fact that skaters and coaches often kiss or cry after a good performance or a poor one. The area is usually located in the corner or end of the rink and is furnished with benches or chairs for the skaters and coaches. It is often decorated with flowers or other backdrops for television shots and photos of the skaters reacting to their performance and scores.
The term was coined by Jane Erkko, a Finnish figure skating official, during the 1983 World Figure Skating Championships. The first formal off-ice waiting area at the Olympics appeared in Sarajevo in 1984. The term was widely used by the early 1990s and is now officially part of the International Skating Union Regulations. The kiss and cry area has personalized the sport and made figure skating more popular in televised Olympic competition.

How do female figure skaters deal with periods?
Female athletes like Nagasu have developed strategies for managing both cramps and periods. One such strategy involves inserting a tampon into the abdomen and engaging in skating as a form of therapeutic exercise. This was a significant issue during the 2016 Rio Olympics when menstruation occurred concurrently with the performance of Chinese swimmer Fu Yuanhui, who held her abdomen after her race. This approach enables athletes to maintain focus and effectively manage stress.
Do female figure skaters wear bras?
The necessity of wearing a sports bra beneath a figure skating dress is contingent upon several factors, including the individual’s chest size and the presence of built-in support in the dress itself. A team of researchers with the requisite training validated this answer. It is inadvisable to wear jeans when ice skating, as they impede movement and take a long time to dry, which can result in discomfort and coldness when wet.
Why do skaters not wear pads?
The speaker posits that pads may impede the ability of skaters to perform tricks such as the ollie, particularly in terms of achieving a low jump before jumping.
📹 5 Banned Elements in Figure Skating
Please note that there are small rule changes every year, and I’ve included what I think are the most updated rules, but there may …
What’s even more impressive is WHY Surya Bonaly did the backflip even though it was banned in competition. She has ruptured her achilles tendon the season prior and suffered permanent damage from it. She was unable to perfectly execute some of the ‘legal’ moves that she planned in her routine, like the triple lutzes everyone had become obsessed with at the time, so she decided to pop in a one-legged backflip instead. She lost out on medaling, but she gained more worldwide fans than ever and became one of the most talked-about athletes of the Olympics that year.
I was one of just two people in my country during my period of skating who could do a backflip at the time. I once did one at a major competition during the 6 minute warmup (the official warmup right before you compete your program) to show off for the ladies and have a bit of fun and initially, people thought it was funny. After I won the gold medal, however, the coaches of my competitors lobbied the judges and decision makers to have me disqualified and have my medal stripped from me for performing an illegal manoeuvre during competition. The judges got out the rule books and after a few hours of discussions came back and said they couldn’t find any rule stating that banned manoeuvres could not be performed during the official 6 minute warm up, so my 1st place position stood. Awesome memories.
Olympic skating is amazing, but my favorite experience perusal figure skating was when I went to Disney on Ice where there were no illegal moves. They did so many amazing moves I’d never seen in the Olympics (like twirling the girl by her leg!) They used props and put on a fantastic show, and were allowed to be creative. In the Olympics there are so many rules, that many of the programs skaters do look so similar to each other.
I remember that one-foot backflip that skater did. I was in 5th grade when I saw that and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I think if I remember right, she did it because she was retiring. That was her last Olympics and her very last performance and she’d already lost from an earlier slip-up, so she decided to go out with a bang. And she ended up with the move named after her. If social media like we have now had been a thing back then, this woman would have broken the internet and would have become the staple “Zero F*cks Given” GIF/meme. Everyone loved it. That was one of the best ways of making an exit I’ve ever seen.
Ex figure skater here – I used to perform headbangers in shows, so this was nostalgic! If you look, most of them actually bring their hands in to their faces when they get close to the ice. That way you’d hit your hands off the ice and not your head. And coaches usually make sure that your partner is a certain height taller than you so that the physics are in your favour. The hardest part was just sticking the landing (like the first one did). Still, it was my favourite move to perform. I remember the gasps of the audience when they first saw it as they always thought the first dip was a fall. But I was never dropped once!
Surya Bonaly remains the only figure skater to even attempt, let alone complete a one-foot landing backflip at the Olympics. There might not be many who could land it in competition today. Of course it was banned even when she did it but there was a long period that backflips were legal. She’s a legend of the sport and was an outlier in her time and not treated with the respect she she deserved.
Torville and Dean, at the height of their careers, had a new unique lift that was so dangerous that Torvill seriously injured her neck/shoulder injury, and was banned before competition because it was so dangerous if the slightest part from start to finish wasnt perfectly timed, performed or even the ice was uneven it could have paralysed one of them.
Might want to check all of those rules. I just watched 2 competitions where…in one…the skater took off his skate guards ON the ice, laid on the ice several times through the show, and in fact laid on the judges table…and STILL got perfect 10s (ie. no deductions) And then an Olympic competition where the team both laid on the ice at one point, and she sat on his head…and got near-perfect scores (and a gold medal).
Yeah, there’s a big difference between competitions and exhibitions and what’s allowed and when. It was great to see The Detroiter move❣👍 The gold standard for backflips will forever be Surya Bonaly, who could take off on one leg, perform her backflip, then land on one leg and then perform a triple jump. She had the youth and skill and heart.💓
For number 2… yeah, I’m not surprised in the slightest that got banned. It might look impressive, but that one probably has the greatest risk out of all the ones shown in this article if something goes wrong. A bad backflip could badly injure the skater’s foot or leg, but that “Headbanger” technique could actually paralyze or kill someone.
The “headbanger” reminded me how I went to see a circus show few years ago (only coz we got free tickets). perusal acrobats doing all the not safe stuff and animals forced to do things against their will made me decide never ever visit such shows again. I assume only psychos can watch this with pure entertainment in their minds. My mind can’t stand these things, it ACTUALLY HURTS to watch.
No wonder today’s skating is so uneventful. I was wondering why I haven’t seen anything amazing for a long while. That kid that pulled off the quadruple axle was the best thing I seen in figure skating in over two decades. I know some of these heartstopping moves are banned for good reason but not all of them should be banned. A lot artistry is missing from these more recent performances due to these restrictions. Skating has been been a risqué sport for a long time and commanded great respect across nations and genders. It demanded real training and commitment from both skaters and coaches. No one is taking away the death-defying risks from snowboarding. I’m just saying.
TIL that despite the fact that I have the “cling on to someone/something to keep my balance like my life depends on it and still fall constantly” level of skating I can do 3 banned skating moves. I can lay down on the ice, I can use a prop (especially those walker things), and I can take off clothing items while on the ice
I am beginning music composer and I knew anything about figure skating, but in April I watched Yuri on Ice and after that discovered Yuzuru, and now I watch every your article! (I still know anything about figure skating though, but they are very interesting 😊) And another thing is that Hanyu’s skating inspires me a lot and after long creative crisis now I’m writing a piece for piano, 2 violins and cello (dreaming about Yuzu skating to it, and even if I know it won’t happen, imagining it is still inspiring). I don’t know why I’m writing this, so just thank you for your website🙃
117% agree that the “headbanger” needs to remain banned. I’d even argue that it should be banned from show skating. Heck, the NFL deals with law-suits for helmets not being up to a certain standard, or the current standard not being good enough. I don’t understand how any woman has that much courage and over 9000 power level of trust with her skate partner. Maybe it’s just stupidity.
Figure skaters: we are one step closer to become LEGENDS forever for our fans and audiences, as we win their heart by our UNRIVALED and DRAMATIC SKILLS, that were never seen before in the history of figure skating… Figure Skating organisation: WE DON’T DO THAT HERE… Figure skaters: I missed that part, where that’s my problem… But to a serious note: Detroit lifters, and the rotatory motion in pair skating can even prove to be deadly…
Are any of y’all old enough to remember when we had to watch the skaters do the actual “figures” in figure skating? They basically had to skate an infinity shape with an extra loop at the ends. Then the judges would see how much they were on the mark or off the mark. It was boring as hell, and it would count against their total scores. So they would skate this awesome performance, and then end up six or seventh due to their poor figures score.
I know it’s all about competition and while I understand that some elements are too dangerous, I think other stuff is overlooked in competitive figure skating. From what I saw in the Olympics, it’s like jumps are the only important part of it and while I understand its importance I kinda feel the Choreos lacking soul. It’s like with less storytelling and more jumps it looses some of its purpose for viewers. That’s only my opinion though, I never did figure skating, but this is how I feel about it. While I respect the difficulty of those jumps I think there’s less and less actual story in those pieces.
The way women were tossed about was insane! I remember seeing these moves as a child thinking they were amazing. Foolish little me. I wanna know what made these moves get banned. Did someone die, get injured or did the federation hire a new lawyer was a go-getter and was set out to make an imprint on the sport. An explanation was never given. Especially about the “no more lying on the ice” rule.
