Ice skating figures are a type of figure skating which involves performing various jumps, spins, and other moves on ice skates. The two most common figures in ice skating are eights (6 letters) and loops (5 letters). Eights involve tracing an eight-shaped pattern on the ice with the skater's feet, while loops involve tracing a loop-shaped pattern on the ice. Both figures require a high level of skill and precision to be performed correctly.
