It 'was probably done more for the exercise than anything else at this time. 28 years later, someone had the idea of ​​combining the smooth glide on the ice with elements of dance and includes what we now know as figureSkating.

At the Olympics there are three categories of competition in the event of figure skating. There are singles, pairs and ice dancing categories. In the event that the individual (men and women compete separately). Participants must complete eight-skating maneuvers of varying difficulty and conclude with a segment of the freestyle. In the category pairs, the goal is to synchronize the movements, while services such as lifts his head, flips, spins and spirals of death.(Sounds a little 'scary is not it) The ice dancing is a version of the dance performed on the ice and is spectacular to see.
