Pairs skating

Pairs skating is a figure skating discipline where two skaters perform routines together on ice, combining technical elements with artistic expression. They execute synchronized jumps, spins, lifts, throws, and other coordinated moves that showcase both individual skill and teamwork. The performance is judged on elements like difficulty, precision, timing, unison, artistry, and overall presentation. It requires trust, coordination, and strength, especially during complex lifts and catches, creating a dynamic display of athleticism and grace. Pairs skating is often performed to music, emphasizing harmony between the partners and the emotional impact of their choreography.
