The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics Figure Skating Ice Dance will officially start on February 12. Because ice dance and doubles are a single item in figure skating, and both are male and female combinations, many new friends must not know the difference between double skating and ice dance.
Let's take a simple, rough and clear understanding of the difference between these two small items.
Sui Wenjing/Han Cong
Look at jumping: the simplest and roughest way to distinguish, no jump is ice dance, there is a jump is a double.
Peng Cheng/Jin Yang
Kausten (competition clothing): Because the double has a jumping need, the female companion's skirt will not be too long, and the hair (long hair) is generally coiled like the female singles player; the ice dance is less restrictive, the female partner can match the program to design the hairstyle, and the skirt length is relatively free.
The general direction of the program is different: the two sets of programs for the two are short programs /free skating, the most critical technical actions are single jump, throw jump, twist lift, spiral line, ice dance two sets of programs for rhythm dance / free dance, there is no pair skating these movements.
Action details: double slide lift, the male partner's arm can be over the shoulder, that is, it can be lifted high; the ice dance support can not lift the male partner's arm can not be over the shoulder. At the same time, the blade requirements of ice dance are higher, focusing on footwork and artistic expression, the music is more demanding (the footsteps must be stepped on the remake of the music), and the pair skating will not have such strict requirements.
