Pairs skating and ice dancing both belong to figure skating, what is the difference between them?

Along with the end of the Winter Olympics, some netizens found that figure skating, pairs skating and ice skating in the end what kind of difference exists, the so-called figure skating, pairs skating and ice dance, these two sports, seem to be twins, but the character is different. And pairs skating need to action rich. In the process of skating, need to send and throw jump. Ice dancing needs to be on the heavy side with no jumping movements. In addition to this, the most different aspect of the program is the dress code. In ice dance, because there are no jumps, the skirts of the skaters may be too high on the knees, whereas in figure skating, because the two skaters are skating in pairs, the skirts are made shorter in order to facilitate the jumps.

And in the holding, because both competitions are done by a male and female partner of each player. It is also the same venue that is used, and there will be many viewers who think that these two are a distinction without a difference. The two are well differentiated. Although it is true that pairs skating and ice dancing have a lot in common. It is the two that also have very distinct differences. The focus of both is the scoring program. Pairs skating includes jumps, spins, paces, holds, twists, jump throws, spirals and a series of other maneuvers to complete. You need to add the program content to the technical movement score, and subtract the deductions to share to get the final result.

And ice dance but requires skating technique plus movement coherence and performance completion, as well as music expression and program innovation degree. As you can see from this, the two belong to completely different programs. The programs are different, their costumes are different, you can take a look at the clothes they are wearing and you can also tell the difference. The most important skill in the program is jumping. So that in the pairs skating female players, in order to facilitate the jump, the skirt of their clothes will do relatively than, ice dance skirt is much shorter.

In the program of ice dance, because there is no jumping action, so the hemline of the female ice dancers will be longer, and may be longer than the knee. These two points can be distinguished, and their programs are different. If you look at the athlete's perspective, you can see the difference in emphasis between the two sports, on top of their skates, and since ice dance actually favors steps, if you look at the same lifting motion, in the rules of ice dance, the male athlete's arms cannot be higher than his head during the lifting process.

That is, because of the different techniques, so they will be different on the ice, so the ice dance skates, the upper and the heel is relatively low, and the ice skates are relatively short, because this design is more can complete the pace of the action. The technical movements of pairs skating are very rich, not the same as ice dance, they can be distinguished. These two also have competition content, the composition is not the same place is included in the short program and free skating two, while ice dance is by rhythmic five and free dance two groups. For this reason both have their own elegant place, as the saying goes, each each program has each program's wonderful, and they also in the Olympic Games for everyone to bring a regular appearance.

Summary

It can be said that because of the large number of jumps in pairs skating, they will often fall, while for ice dance, they do not have and pairs skating as much as a large number of jumps, so it will be rare to see the ice dancers fall, and for this reason, they will put their own experience is more important to the skating and the art of the aspect. One could also say that both sports are different. Both programs are different in their own way. But both sports are performed on the ice, so it can be said that each competition is very much into the heart of the wonderful, it can be said that both sports are on the ice, is very elegant.
