figure

Figure skating is a sport in which individuals, pairs, or groups perform on figure skates on ice. It was the first winter sport to be included in the Olympic Games, when contested at the 1908 Olympics in London. The Olympic disciplines are men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance; the four individual disciplines are also combined into a team event, first included in the Winter Olympics in 2014. The non-Olympic disciplines include synchronized skating, Theater on Ice, and four skating. From intermediate through senior-level competition, skaters generally perform two programs (the short program and the free skate), which, depending on the discipline, may include spins, jumps, moves in the field, lifts, throw jumps, death spirals, and other elements or moves.
Figure skaters compete at various levels from beginner up to the Olympic level (senior) at local, regional, sectional, national, and international competitions. The International Skating Union (ISU) regulates international figure skating judging and competitions. These include the Winter Olympics, the World Championships, the World Junior Championships, the European Championships, the Four Continents Championships, the Grand Prix series (senior and junior), and the ISU Challenger Series.
The sport is also associated with show business. Major competitions generally conclude with exhibition galas, in which the top skaters from each discipline perform non-competitive programs. Many skaters, both during and after their competitive careers, also skate in ice shows, which run during the competitive season and the off-season.

    How can I figure out what's best for my house?

    I live in a large 3 bed semi with a Potterton Profile 60e - so it's a G rated boiler. I wish to improve the energy efficiency of the property over the next few years, and part of that is obviously upgrading the central heating system. We have a tank in the bathroom which I want to move (to...

    Is anyone clever enough to figure this out?

    Most of you are probably familiar with the timers on central heating systems but it's hurting my head. In a nutshell, there's no heat coming off the central heating and we think it's something to do with the timer. I'll attach a photo that was taken at around 6:10 pm this evening. Obviously...

    Customer has a loft conversion room, it's quite big and asked for a price for a shower room to be made at one end. Received a reply back this evening to say the price was quite a bit more than they were expecting so they need a rethink. I'm not particularly bothered as can't win all jobs and not...

    Please help me figure this out

    Hi, I live in East London in a victorian mews house. In the past few days I've noticed an odd sound, as if the water is running somewhere in the house, followed by a 'clunk' noise intermittently.
