Basics of Figure Skating Figure skating is an OlyMpic sport in which individuals, pairs, or groups perform spins, juMps, and other intricate and challenging Moves on ice skates. Figure skaters coMpete at various levels froM beginner up to the OlyMpic level (senior), and at local, national, and international coMpetitions. The International Skating Union (ISU)1 regulates international figure skating judging and competitions. Figure skating is an official event in the Winter OlyMpic GaMes. Major international coMpetitions are sanctioned by the ISU. The sport is also associated with show-business. Major coMpetitions generally include exhibitions at the end in which the top-placing skaters perforM for the crowd by showing off their various skills. Many skaters, both during and after their coMpetitive careers, also skate in ice skating exhibitions or shows which run during the coMpetitive season and the off-season. History The history of figure skating stretches back to prehistoric tiMes, when archaeological evidence of the activity has been found. In Medieval Great Britain the sticks were used for Movement, as the priMitive bone-Made ice skates did not have sharp gliding edges like ModeM ice skates. Adding edges to ice skates was invented by the Dutch in the 13 th or 14th century. These ice skates were Made of steel, with sharpened edges on the bottoM 1 The International Skating Union (ISU) is the international governing body for coMpetitive ice skating disciplines, including figure skating, synchronized skating, speed skating, and short track speed skating. It was founded in Scheveningen. Netherlands in 1892. Making it one of the oldest international sport federations. It is now based in Lausanne. Switzerland. As of the suMMer o f 2008, the ISU consisted of 63 MeMber nations, with a governing council of 11. 6 to aid MoveMent. The construction of ModeM ice skates has reMained largely the same. The only other Major change in ice skate design caMe soon after. Around the saMe tiMe period as steel edges were added to ice skates, another Dutchman experiMented with the height to width ratio of the Metal blade of the ice skates, producing a design that reMains alMost unaltered to this day. The user of the skates no longer needed to use sticks for propulsion, and MoveMent on skates was now freer and More stable. The next step in the developMent of ice skating caMe in 1742, when the first ice skating association was forMed, the Edinburgh Skating Club. The first instructional book concerning ice skating was published in London in 1772. It was with the publication of this Manual that ice skating split into its two main disciplines, speed skating and figure skating. The founder of ModeM figure skating as it is known today was Jackson Haines, an AMerican. He won the first ChaMpionships of AMerica in 1864. Haines was known as the first skater to incorporate ballet and dance MoveMents into his skating, as opposed to focusing on tracing patterns on the ice. At the beginning of the 20th century, figure skating was lent a More athletic character through the developMents of Ulrich Salchow, a Swede. Salchow was considered the greatest figure skater of his day by far, winning the world chaMpionships ten tiMes. The last years leading up to World War I generally saw higher perforMance in all sports, figure skating included. Figure skating reached its peak after the second World War, and experienced a resurgence in popularity. The construction of new ice rinks, built coMpletely for ice skating, allowed Much More intensive training, and led to increased perforMance on the ice. Because of the years of war, Europe, which had previously had been the center of figure skating, as well as the area of origin of Many of its top names, fell behind the United States in terMs of figure skating dominance. Many of the new elite figure skaters caMe froM the United States and Canada, bringing with theM a style that eMphasized More speed and endurance, as well as dynaMic Movements. In 1961, the crash of Sabena Flight 548 claiMed the lives of the entire United States Figure Skating teaM and their coaches. This effectively put an end to the period

  • 150 Notable Manitoba Curling Teams
    150 NOTABLE MANITOBA CURLING TEAMS In honour of Manitoba’s 150 th Anniversary, the Manitoba Curling Hall of Fame and Museum has undertaken to identify 150 teams which played a significant role in creating (in the early years) and extending (in more recent times) Manitoba’s reputation for competitive excellence in the world of curling. Our list acknowledges teams from all competitive sectors from the high-profile junior and men’s and women’s teams to less well-known teams at the mixed, senior, and masters levels and even outside the association realm in the deaf, police and postal championship realms. All of these successful teams played roles in establishing Manitoba’s well-deserved reputation. We also acknowledge recent successes in the new discipline of Mixed Doubles but this historical perspective is focussed on the traditional four-person game. INVITATION TO THE PUBLIC TO ADD TO THE LIST: A total of 150 teams were identified initially. Subsequently two missed teams have been added so the list now includes 152 teams. There are many other teams across Manitoba’s curling history which also belong on a listing of this nature. Manitoba curling fans are invited to suggest other teams for inclusion. In most cases, the teams are included on this list on the basis of the team’s on-ice success in a single outstanding year OR across a series of years. In the latter case, we have acknowledged that so long as three people remained on a team from a previous recorded success – then it was still the same team.
