Gymnastics and I'm not just saying that since i absolutely LOVE gymnastics.Just like gymnastics, figure skating is judged by judges of that sport. First off, in figure skating you must have balance right? Well then try out the beam! Try walking across it with your eyes closed! Then try doing tricks on the beam. If you have a lot of balance you will be able to be a great skater! If you want to be able to do tricks and spins...then you must practice that during gymnastics. Plus, gymnastics is the best sport in the world. It is so fun! And....its not as hard as you think it is. Learning how to do flips and stuff during gymnastics will really help you preform tricks on the ice! Good luck! :))

Thats a hard one...\nSasha Cohen because of her jumping tecneque is awesome\nIrina Slutskaya because of how much she has been through. I probably dont wanna be them, i just really admire them! \n(I really figure skate competitvely)

Scoring in figure skating is not ONLY about falling or not falling.  It's about style, choreography, line, edges, balance, etc.  Sasha Cohen is a truly gifted skater who did fall TWICE but, went on and regained her composure.  She performed superbly.  What a class act - to know you had lost the gold and to continue with such grace and skill.\nI applaud her and I think she deserves the silver and another award for her tenacity and perseverance.

figure skates are easier to learn on.

There is geometry involved in the patterns of the skates on the ice.  Physics involves math...the amount of friction and motion over the ice.

Sadly, not yet. But if I were to go, as chilly a prospect as it may be, I would have to choose the Winter Olympics. Gotta love that figure skating!

Obviously, Pete Fenson and his rink are. They won the bronze in Torino. The same could be said about Cassie Johnson and her rink, even though the were eliminated in the first round.\nCanada is home to the largest % of the world's curlers (more than half) and their rink won the olympic bonspiel, so I would say that they are important, particularly their skip and their fourth (I can't remember their names)

Compared to me, pretty good.  Compared to players like Navratilova or Graf, not in the same league.

I love figure skating. The skaters are in great shape and are very athletic. Plus, I admire the way they get up and continue a routine even after they have fallen and messed up their chances of winning. That takes fortitude and guts.\n\nHave to call them as I see them.

I think the new points system put Sasha Cohen as the silver medalist.  Any other Olympics she probably would have brought home Bronze with 2 falls, and Irina Slutskaya would have grabbed Silver.  I think Sasha is a great skater and I am proud of her. ... of them all!

This question is unrelated to tennis ability---\n\nAnna Kournikova is much hotter!!

No she won't.  She only applied for a waiver for the Olympics.  The Women will be the same that skated at the Olympics.  Sasha, Emily, and Kimmie.

Definitely an art form.  You could try to call it a sport, but you'd have to use a loose definition of the word.  If you have judges, it's at least as much of a sport as figure skating.  (No disrespect for the physical requirements to be a dancer or skater, we are just talking about what you call it!)  \n\nI have trouble calling anything that is judged subjectively a sport, especially if the code of points used to score it may cause two competent judges to score it differently.  You'd know better than I if dancing falls into that category or not.

The US Figure Skating website says:\n\nBorn: October 26, 1984 – Westwood, California \nHeight: 5'2" \nLevel: Senior \nHome Club: Orange County FSC \nHometown: Corona Del Mar, California \nTraining Town: Aliso Viejo, California \nCoach: John Nicks \nChoreographer: Nikoli Morozov \n\nSo I can only assume the Westwood nearest to Orange County

A good skater is someone who has fallen a ton of times.  Youre probably doing something right if you keep falling.
