Just some tips if you want to become an figure skater • go to the ice rink • try out some of your best moves  • if your really keen get a coach and hopefully become a professional figure skater by competing against other competitors
10. Slide 10: …-… figure skating …-… Figure skating is a sport in which individuals, couples, or groups perform spins, jumps, and other moves on ice, often to music. Figure skaters compete in multiple levels, from novice to Olympic (senior), and at national and international competitions. The International Skating Union (ISU) regulates figure skating judging and competitions. Figure skating is an official event in the Winter Olympic Games. The judging system The International Skating Union(ISU) is the governing body for international competitions in figure skating, including the World Championships and the figure skating events at the Winter Olympic Games. In singles and pairs figure skating competition, competitors must perform two routines, the \"short program\", in which the skater must complete a list of required elements consisting of jumps, spins and steps; and the \"free skate\" or \"long program\", in which the skaters have slightly more choice of elements. Ice dancing competitions usually consist of three phases: one or more \"compulsory dances\"; an \"original dance\" to a ballroom rhythm that is designated annually; and a \"free dance\" to music of the skaters' own choice. Skating was formerly judged for \"technical merit\" (in the free skate), \"required elements\" (in the short program), and \"presentation\" (in both programs). The marks for each program ran from 0.0 to 6.0, the latter being the highest. These marks were used to determine a preference ranking, or \"ordinal\", separately for each judge; the judges' preferences were then combined to determine placements for each skater in each program. The placements for the two programs were then combined, with the free skate placement weighted more heavily than the short program. The highest placing individual (based on the sum of the weighted placements) was declared the winner.
11. Slide 11: ..x.. Torvill and Dean ..x... Torvill and Dean (Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean) are British ice dancers and British, European, Olympic and World champions. At the 1984 Winter Olympics the pair became the highest scoring figure skaters of all time (for a single programme) receiving 12 perfect 6.0s, including artistic impression scores of 6.0 from every judge. The pair turned professional following the 1984 Olympics, regaining amateur status briefly ten years later in 1994 to compete in the Olympics once again. The pair retired from competitive skating for good in 1999, but continue to work professionally, both separately and as a pair. Both are from Nottingham, England, where the local National Ice Centre is accessed through a public area known as Bolero Square, in honour of the pair's Olympic achievements. There is also a housing estate in the Wollaston area of the city named 'Torvill Drive', with many of the surrounding roads named after coaches and dances associated with the pair.
