Class AF GENERAL
Artistic Free Skating Competition
There will be one (1) “Artistic Free Skating Event” for Ladies (AFL)
and one (1) “Artistic Free Skating Event” for Men (AFM)
Duration: The maximum time is 1 minute and 40 seconds but may be less.
Vocal music is permitted.
The artistic event will be judged only on the basis of Programme
Components:
• Skating skills
• Transitions
• Performance/Execution
• Choreography/Composition
• Interpretation/Timing
There will be no technical panel and no technical mark given.
(See ISU Special Regulations and Technical Rules 2010, Singles &
Pair Skating, Rule 522, paragraph 2 for a detailed description of
Program Components.)
The artistic program consists of a variety of skating moves selected for
their value in enhancing the skater’s interpretation of the music rather
than for their technical difficulty. Skaters will be judged on their ability
to interpret the music and develop a theme by using their skating
skills.
The artistic free skate is a competitive program which must include
elements of the sport of figure skating.
At least one (1) but a maximum of two (2) single jumps and at least
one (1) but a maximum of two (2) spins MUST be included. No axel
type jump or double jumps are allowed. No combination jumps are
allowed. Credit for jumps and spins is based solely on the ability of
such movements to enhance the chosen theme and support the
music. Credit will not be given for their technical difficulty.
Any element exceeding the maximum number as set forth above will be
judged as an illegal element ( 2.0 deduction); if there is no jump or no
spin element included or only a jump and no spin or vice versa a
deduction for a “missing element” of 2.0 will be made. The Referee is
responsible for such deductions.
Costumes should be simple, tasteful and selected to enhance the
performance by appropriately reflecting the character of the music and
theme.
Props may not be used in any part of the artistic programs. Any item
that is held in the hand or removed during the performance is
considered a prop. Thus, for example, a hat worn throughout the
program is not considered to be a prop, but if it is intentionally removed
during the performance it is considered a prop. Objects on the ice,
thrown in the audience, placed on the boards or on the judges table are
not permitted. Costumes that contain particles that may mark or leave
anything on the ice surface (feathers, boas, excessive beading) are
considered unsafe and are not permitted. The Referee is responsible
for prop deductions.
Illegal elements:
- Somersault type jumps
- lying on the ice and prolonged and/or stationary kneeling on both
knees on the ice
