Extractions: Venues: The smooth, soft contours of "White Ring," named for the shape of its roof, were designed to symbolize the beauty and grace of figure skating. On the inside, bright lights encircle the roof while the cozy elliptical arena is ringed by spectator seating. During the first 10 days of the Olympics, the arena will see figure skating competitions for the pairs, men and dance. During the final five days, ladies figure skating will share time with short-track speedskating. In the 1600s, legend has it, two famous samurai warlords fought a series of brutal conflicts for supremacy of the Nagano region. They met in hand-to-hand combat just four kilometers from the venue. 1994 Golds: Alexei Urmanov of Russia (men's); Oksana Baiul of the Ukraine (women's); Ekaterina Gordeeva and Sergei Grinkov of Russia (pairs); Oksana Gritshuk and Yevgeny Platov of Russia (ice dancing).

Extractions: The Figure skating reference article from the English Wikipedia on 24-Apr-2004 (provided by Fixed Reference : snapshots of Wikipedia from wikipedia.org) 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. Figure skaters use skates which differ slightly from hockey skates, to perform spins, jumps, and other "moves" on the ice, often to music. There are international competitions for figure skating, such as the World Championships and figure skating is also an official event in the Winter Olympics Table of contents showTocToggle("show","hide") 1 Jumps 7 See also: There are six major jumps in figure skating. All six are landed on a right back outside edge by righthanded skaters, but have different takeoffs, by which they may be distinguished. The two categories of jumps are toe jumps and edge jumps. Toe jumps are launched by tapping the toe pick of one skate into the ice, and include (in order of difficulty from easiest to hardest): Toe loops, which take off from the back outside edge of the right foot and are launched by the left toe pick (toe walleys are similar, but take off from the back inside edge of the right foot);

Extractions: He completely dominated his sport at his time and sometimes coached his opponents as they raced against him. He won the British Empire title, against Jack Beresford , in Hamilton Ontario in 1930 and became a Canadian citizen. He held his Australian qualification for Olympic purposes and returned to Los Angeles to retain his title. He then turned professional, and retired undefeated at the start of the war. B. 1972-02-22, Berlin, Germany At Salt Lake City, Pechstein was the only favourite, but Gretha Smit of the Netherlands had decided to come down from her marathon skating to try the longest Olympic distance. At her first serious race, she broke the 6:50 barrier. Pechstein again had to defeat a new world record to take her third gold medal, but now she did it with a bit more difference. Despite being 3 seconds down with 1200 m to go, she defeated the Dutch woman by over 2 seconds.

Rainbow Ice - Mattis Profile Brian Boitano, Paul Wylie, viktor petrenko, Peggy Fleming. So why does the sports world assume that figure skating has borne the brunt of AIDS http://www.plover.com/rainbowice/dmpgnri.html
Extractions: November 24-30, 1995 You can't watch TV these days without seeing figure skaters. If you're like many viewers, you can't watch male skaters ah, those sequined Adonises with their tight butts and triple jumps without wondering: gay, or just Russian? Chances are, you'll never know for sure unless you're watching Doug Mattis. This 29-year-old Philadelphia native is one of American skating's hottest properties right now, and he's out. What does it mean to be "out" in this balletic, beauty-conscious sport, where all the men endure homophobic charges of effeminacy? Mattis' guest appearance at last year's Gay Games , where he skated two exhibition numbers, might have been declaration enough. (He and Canadian Matthew Hall, who took top honors in that competition, are the only two international-level skaters who are openly gay.) But more importantly, Mattis' skating routines are infused with overtly gay sensibilities, from the steady endurance of his AIDS memorial programs to wicked parodies that shock audiences into screaming ovations. There is nothing of the closet about Doug Mattis. Even if he observed a discreet silence about his sexuality like so many of his peers the first time you saw him lampoon Peggy Fleming's beehive during a competitive routine, you would know.
