18. Yes, yes, yes - actual figure skating

Thu Feb 19, 2026, 12:41 AM

Thursday

The skaters were judged on the figures made in the ice.
Deviations from the target shape were measured.
It appeals to me because it is more objective - as opposed to say style points (for example, ski jumping), or judges' rulings on who pushed or blocked who first (looking at you short track skating (aka roller derby on ice)), and other events.
