Both woman and men, as singles and in pairs, have thrilled as competitors in this sport. Now their mysteries and histories are explored in the fifth installment of the highly successful How Sports Work series. How Figure Skating Works has facts, figures, and fun for everyone -- from the rookies of the rink all the way up to triumphant triple lutzers. Unique insider information includes the history and science of the sport, a catalogue of the sport’s most inventive (and strangest) moves, stories about Olympic judging and scorekeeping, and the secrets behind some of the greatest partnerships and rivalries in skating.
