Definition
Figure skating competitions that feature men's and ladies events in which skaters perform alone. Each completes a short program with compulsory jumps, spins, jump combinations and spin combinations with prescribed step sequences; and a longer, free skating program with no required elements that allows skaters to demonstrate technical skills and artistry in a routine performed to music they have selected. Competitors are judged on their execution of the required elements in the short program and on the quality of elements performed, the level of difficulty and the overall artistic excellence of the long program. Included are organizations that sponsor, organize, hold, promote, sell tickets to and publicize the events; provide information about competition schedules; and/or maintain information about current standings.
