Figure skating at the 2018 Winter Olympics will be held at the Gangneung Ice Arena in Gangneung, South Korea.
 The five events will take place between 9–23 February 2018.
Ice Diaries is a show on the TLC network that follows four up-and-coming American figure skaters through the 2005/2006 Olympic season as each tries to make the 2006 Olympic team.
 The four skaters are Beatrisa "Bebe" Liang, Alissa Czisny, Danielle Kahle, and Sandra Rucker.
 Rucker did not make it out of Regionals, the first step for qualifying for the United States Figure Skating Championships.
 Kahle won both her Regionals and Sectionals and placed twelfth at Nationals.
 Czisny placed second at Skate America and won Skate Canada International, but finish in last place at the Grand Prix Final and had two bad skates at Nationals and finished seventh.
 Liang came in fourth at Skate America and finished fifth at Nationals, the highest placement of the four skaters.
 After Rucker's season ended before the series did, the show profiled Jennifer Kirk and her decision to quit competitive skating the year before an Olympic year.
 None of the profiled skaters made the Olympic team.
 Created by Co-Executive Producer Scott Williams and Dan Marinelli, "Ice Diaries" was produced by IMG Media in association with Turtle Island Productions.
The kiss and cry is the area in an ice rink where figure skaters wait for their marks to be announced after their performances during a figure skating competition.
 It is so named because the skaters and coaches often kiss to celebrate after a good performance, or cry after a poor one.
 The area is usually located in the corner or end of the rink and is furnished with a bench or chairs for the skaters and coaches and monitors to display the competition results.
 It is often elaborately decorated with flowers or some other backdrop for television shots and photos of the skaters as they react to their performance and scores.
The 2018 Russian Figure Skating Championships (Russian: Чемпионат России по фигурному катанию на коньках 2018 ) wiil be held from 19 to 24 December 2017 in Saint Petersburg.
 Medals will be awarded in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing.
 The results are among the criteria used to select Russia's teams to the 2018 European Championships, 2018 Winter Olympics, and 2018 World Championships.
The 2008 World Junior Figure Skating Championships were the World Junior Figure Skating Championships for the 2007–08 season.
 Commonly called "World Juniors" and "Junior Worlds", they are an annual figure skating competition in which elite figure skaters compete for the title of World Junior Champion.
 The event is open to figure skaters from ISU Member Nations who have reached the age of 13 by July 1 of the previous year, but have not yet turned 19.
 The upper age limit for men competing in pairs and dance is 21.
 Skaters compete in four disciplines: men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dancing.
Figure skates are a type of ice skate used by figure skaters.
 The skates consist of a "boot" and a "blade" that is attached with screws to the sole of the boot.
 Inexpensive sets for recreational skaters are available, but most figure skaters purchase boots and blades separately and have the blades mounted by a professional skate technician.
The North American Challenge Skate was a series of annual summer figure skating competitions for American and Canadian figure skaters on the novice and junior levels.
 It was a developmental program rather than an elite competition series; the purpose of the program was to give young skaters a chance to compete internationally and hone their skills.
 The events began in 1996 and consisted of two to four competitions each year, split between the US and Canada.
 The competitions were jointly sponsored by Skate Canada and the USFSA, rather than being international competitions sanctioned by the International Skating Union.
 Skaters competed in four disciplines across the two levels: men's singles, ladies singles, pairs, and ice dance.
 The competition was also open to invited skaters from Mexico.
The 1948 European Figure Skating Championships were the European Figure Skating Championships of the 1947-1948 season.
 Elite senior-level figure skaters from European ISU Member Nations, in adtdition to the United States and Canada, competed for the title of European Champion.
 Skaters competed in the disciplines of ladies' singles, men's singles, and pair skating.
 Because North Americans were allowed to participate, the best European single skaters, Eva Pawlik of Austria and Hans Gerschwiler of Switzerland, were awarded only the European Silver Medals.
 That was the reason the International Skating Union restricted the 1949 Europeans and all the following European Championships to European skaters.
Professional skaters from the British television show Dancing on Ice are figure skaters who appear with celebrities in front of a panel of judges.
 Professional skaters are ones who are no longer competing internationally or who never did.
 Most of the professionals on the show are former ice dancers or pair skaters.
Little Girls in Pretty Boxes: The Making and Breaking of Elite Gymnasts and Figure Skaters is a 1995 nonfiction book by San Francisco Chronicle sports writer Joan Ryan detailing the difficult training regimens endured by young women in competitive sports such as gymnastics and figure skating, published by Doubleday Books.
 Ryan’s material was largely derived from personal interviews with nearly 100 former gymnasts and figure skaters as well as trainers, sports psychologists, physiologists and other experts, focusing on the physical and emotional hardships young women endured for the sake of Olympic glory and was ultimately critical of training practices.
 She argues that the image of these athletes' beauty, glamour, class and sophistication conceals a troubled reality, with physical problems of eating disorders, weakened bones, stunted growth, debilitating and fatal injuries, psychological issues such as depression and low self-esteem, and life sacrifices of dropping out of school, losing the chance to "be a child", and becoming isolated from their peers and families.
 While decrying these practices, Ryan advocates for systemic change in figure skating and gymnastics, calling for raising minimum-age requirements, mandatory licensing of coaches and careful scrutiny by national governing bodies, and requiring athletes to remain in regular schools at least until they are 16.
