China will soon hold the olympic games this year-2008. However, only the summer games, there a lot of wonderful games in winter games. Figure skating is one of them and is my favorate game.

Figure skating has two events–individual,(also called single) pairs and ice dancing.Both individual and pairs consist of short program which also named technical program and long program which also called free skating. Ice dancing is similar to ballroom dancing. The focus is on the complex steps in time with the music. It consists of compulsory dance, original dance and free dance.
You may wander what is the difference betweent ice dancing and the pairs. The main difference is that you are not allowed to lift your pattern over your shoulders in ice dancing.

The reason why I like it is that I think Figure skating is the most excellence sport which combines grace and competition very well together. Athough you are watch a compition, you will not feel the nervers taste of a match. You will feel comfortable and enjoyful during the beatiful movement of the athletes and the same I think it will be the athletes. The graceful movement and melodious music make the ice ground become the play stage, and the athletes become to the dancers in the stage. They are not competite but to perfrom the wonderful dancing to all of us.

I hope after my introduction of Figure skating, you will like it and enjoy it!
