Singles skating includes jumps, spins, or a combination
of both, at the same time, demonstrating harmonious figures to a chosen
piece of music. The figures can be in the form of the skater's bodyline,
arms movement, gestures, torso movements, footwork or the trace on ice.
In competitions, there are technical skating and freestyle skating for
both men and ladies' singles. The technical skating consists one third
of the total score while freestyle consists two thirds of the total score.
Amongst the few diciplines in Figure Skating, singles skating is the most
competitive. For the past few decades the expectations for singles skating
has been increasingly high. For men, the least a competitive skater must
have in their program is a triple axel-triple toe! For ladies, a triple
axel!
