All three are now features of the Winter Olympic games. In speed-skating events, racers may reach speeds as high as 30 mi (48 km) per hr. The Olympic races are around oval tracks at distances of 500, 1,000, 1,500, 5,000, and 10,000 meters for men and 500, 1,000, 1,500, 3,000, and 5,000 meters for women. Short-track skating features skaters in massed starts circling a small indoor oval. In the Olympics men compete in 500-, 1,000-, and 1,500-meter events, with a 5,000-meters relay; the women's races are at similar distances except for the relay (3,000 meters). Jackson Haines, an American, revolutionized figure skating in the 1860s, skating to music, bringing balletic movements to ice, and creating new ones. One of the most beautiful and graceful events in all sport, international figure skating requires skaters to perform a short program that includes mandatory jumps and skills, and then a longer program of free selection, both set to music. Judging is subjective and often controversial. Skaters also compete in pairs, seeking through the intricate synchronization of moves and the performance of lifts and jumps to impress the scoring judges.

Extractions: Figure skating has often been described as "ballet on ice." Skaters blend dance and athletics to create routines that dazzle audiences and demonstrate grace and skill. Figure skating became a popular pastime in the 1800's. Today, figure skating is a highly competitive and popular spectator sport enjoyed worldwide. The four Olympic figure skating events include: Men's Singles, Ladies' Singles, Pairs and Ice Dancing. History of Figure Skating Although ice skating began in Europe, figure skating, as we know it, traces its origins directly to America and a skater Jackson Haines. Haines was born in New York in 1840. Just before the Civil War, a skating and dance craze swept America. Jackson Haines loved to skate and was a true innovator. Figure skating had developed a stiff and rigid style of skating but Jackson added free and expressive movements to his routines. Even though he won the Championship of America in 1863 and 1864, his style was still seen as radical. Jackson moved to Europe where he was an immediate success and created the "International Style of Figure Skating." It was not until the turn of the 20th Century that the International Style was fully accepted in this country. Today, judges value expression and creativity as valuable components in all Figure Skating routines.

Figure Skating - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia
Many fans of more traditional sports find the judging procedures incomprehensible The first olympic figure skating competitions also took place in 1908.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure_skating

Extractions: Michelle Kwan , a popular figure skater. Figure skating is an ice skating sporting event where individuals, mixed couples, or groups 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 . In languages other than English, figure skating is usually referred to by a name that translates as "artistic skating". The sport is closely associated with show business, such as "spectaculars" where performers skate unjudged, and the crowd pleasing routines at the end of competition held at many tournaments. Many skaters both during and after their competitive careers also skate in ice-skating exhibitions. edit Figure skates differ from hockey skates most visibly in having a set of large, jagged teeth called toe picks (also known as "toe rakes") on the front of the blade. The toe picks are used primarily in jumping and should not be used for stroking or spins. Toe pick designs have become quite elaborate in recent years and sometimes include additional teeth on the sides of the blade. The figure skating blade is curved from front to back with a radius of about 2 meters. Recently

http://www.hickoksports.com/history/olsports.shtml

Extractions: Table of Contents The question of how many sports are included in the Olympics is a bit tricky, because the International Olympic Committee doesn't define a sport in quite the same way that most people do. The IOC recognizes a hierarchy of sports, disciplines, and events. To the IOC, a sport is represented by a single international governing body. To look at a concrete example, most people would say that swimming, diving, synchronised swimming, and water polo are four separate sports. However, the international governing body for all three is the Federation Internationale de Natation. In Olympic terms, therefore, the sport is aquatics. Swimming, diving, synchronized swimming, and water polo are aquatics disciplines. An event, in Olympic terms, is any competition for which medals are awarded. So men's platform diving is an event, diving is the discipline, and aquatics is the sport. It should be noted that, for many sports, the sport is also the discipline. That's true, for example, of badminton, baseball, and basketball. It's not true of archery, though; the sport is archery and the discipline is target archery. Target archery happens to be the only archery discipline included in the Olympics, but the International Archery Federation also governs competition in field archery and ski archery, which are considered separate disciplines.

Extractions: @import url(style/default.css); kiat.net where are you :: home Olympics Sports Figure Skating OLYMPIC SPORT SINCE 1908 Like many winter sports, FIGURE SKATING 's roots grew from necessity. As a mode of transportation for warfare and hunting in Northern Europe, skating was a swift way to cross frozen lakes, ponds, rivers and streams. Warriors and hunters crafted makeshift skates of reindeer antlers or elk bones, and later iron and steel. By the 16th century, skaters were transporting goods across frozen waterways. In 1892, the International Skating Union (ISU) was founded. Six years later, the first ISU-sanctioned event was held, and organisers hoped it might soon become an official Olympic sport. Because competitions could be held indoors, figure skating was the first winter sport included in the Olympic Games when it was added to the Olympic program for the 1908 Summer Olympic Games in London. The singles and pairs competitions also appeared in the 1920 Antwerp Summer Games.
