The founder of today's well known contemporary figure skating is American Jackson Hines. Rather than focusing on tracking patterns on ice he was the first skater to take the ballet and dance movements into the skate. Haynes also invented a shorter curved blade that invented seating rotation and made it easier to bend for figure skating. He was also the first person to wear a blade permanently attached to the boots. For a while, the hard and hard shape figure skater in the UK dominated the United States and exceeded Haynes' more artistic skating way. Heins tried to promote its skate style innovation in Europe and succeeded in countries such as Sweden and Austria. His style is still being opposed by his American colleague and a skater from Victorian England. Haynes continued to add new dance elements to his daily life and shocked the audience in Vienna in the winter of 1868.

Figure skating is in a dark place - finding things like dancing is easy. Both forms have spatial movement and music time, and some players learn ballet. But when the problem of iteration that figure skating is sports or art happens, I will remember these joke, the answer is obvious. This is a delusive sport. For a while, skaters embodying the sensations of the stars of the 1960s, Peggy Fleming, and recent Sasha Cohen are on top. The custom has the potential to divide the expression into several steps, but art can become increasingly unusual beyond the pure mechanism. You can get closer. At the Vancouver Olympics on Thursday evening, Korean player Kim Yuna was able to win the gold medal, so the women's game ended with an elegant note. (On Sunday, top players will participate in the exhibition.)
