ISU - Figure Skating Basics

This is where we discuss figure skating and skating related items. How did you favourite skaters perform, and so on? However we never speculate on the private lives of skaters, like who might be going out with whom, because that is poison and is not tolerated here. A good guideline is that if it's not publicly announced, in the papers etc. then it's probably best to leave it alone. Is it a gray area? Then write to me and ask.

ISU - Figure Skating Basics

Post by Elizabeth »

As part of a new series "Figure Skating Basics", the ISU has posted a page with descriptions and examples of all the jumps: https://isu.org/figure-skating/news/new ... teParam=15

Ted Barton and Mark Hanretty have also done a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ngr2MHsLJCg

This is all part of an ISU project to not just gain new viewers/followers of skating but also to educate them.

Ted & Mark have been talking about this during this series week's JGP broadcast.
