Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron, 2022 Beijing winners.
She's gorgeous, really beautiful dress too.
1:23 these two are superb, but I really see no difference between this and just regular "pairs" skating, like what is the difference??
Maybe it's just the choreography or how close they typically stay together??
Make figure skating ice dancing again. Basically. There should honestly be no difference.
3:13 okay, I think he's showing us what the difference supposedly is. You can tell he's a straight up DANCER. I feel like a lot of figure skaters may not even necessarily consider themselves dancers. What a strange thought. Could that possibly be true??
Quote:Ice dance (sometimes referred to as ice dancing) is a discipline of figure skating that historically draws from ballroom dancing.
Okay, well I still don't get the difference between ice dancing and figure skating.
So it's like figure skating is focusing on technical moves while ice dancing is focusing on rhythm.
I still think separating the two is bullshit.
Maybe things started to go off track with figure skating back in 1976 when they decided they needed a separate category for "ice dancing".
Definitely part of Operation Degradation though, total conspiracy...
