This question is also very simple. I have explained this before. I just want to talk about the details. First of all, figure skating originated in Europe, especially in some countries in Eastern and Southwestern Europe. It used to be far ahead of the world in the level of figure skating. Generally speaking, we can grasp such a law: a high level of theatrical civilization and stage art in some parts of the world, the corresponding level of art and sports development will not be bad. Like the Russian Polar Bears, or the former Soviet Union, ballet is famous in the world. Many figure skaters were sent to study dance for a while before they started practicing technical moves on the ice. Therefore, this artistic atmosphere cannot be described, but it does exist. This feeling was chosen in Russia. The hands were particularly pronounced, noble and elegant, one after the other, completely controlling and intoxicating the senses of the judges, and the results of the competition were obvious. In short, until the 1980s, the level of figure skating in the rest of the world was amateurish rather than unattainable. Good skaters were a flash in the pan. Comparatively speaking, it can be said that the level of development in a capitalist society is different from that of a primitive society. At that time, there was no and there were no four continents competing because it was just self-entertainment and not worth mentioning.Since the 1980s, as the trend of European classical art and culture swept the world, four continental forces, represented by the two major heroes of North America, the United States and Canada, have begun to rise to prominence in figure skating, and the speed of that rise has been astonishing. Especially in the two singles events, the men's singles, the United States and Canada's position began to falter, the European women's singles, the United States women's singles is the best, Japan and Russia and other Western European countries also began to fight. By then, figure skating's dominance in Europe had loosened. However, the four continents still did not have a sufficiently balanced basis for independent competitions as there was still a gap between the two dual disciplines. The turning point, of course, came at the end of the 20th century, when the full rise of Asian figure skating, particularly the Chinese and Canadian pairs, broke Russia's historic monopoly on the event. With the strength of the U.S. and Canadian ice dance programs, the four continental ice dance competitions finally took shape on the basis of that strength and that program.In 2010, Vancouver, Shen Xue, and Zhao Hongbo all lost their laurels, making the myth of Russian invincibility in the event date back to antiquity.In 2014, after a cloud of armor sprang to life, they went on to win the men's singles title at the Olympics in Asia and competed in all three events except ice dance in all three disciplines except for dance. The overall strength of Asian players is now at the forefront of the world, and the four continents are only becoming more important with each passing year. It's not comparable to the World Championships, but I think it would be a bit too much to say that she's not as good as she was at the European Championships. Even after 2014, the Polar Bears have the grit and determination to go down that road, but we all know that in this day and age, the competitive temperament is no longer as valuable. As a country with average skating skills, Russia stepped down from the altar and had to redecide with the rest of the world. Figure skating belongs to the whole world in this era. Not only is it impossible to be led by a European family anymore. I think the only ice sports with all kinds of flowers are the ones that everyone who loves the sport really wants to see. What do you say?
