Description

From a technical perspective, figure skating has some fundamental similarities to hockey -- just with less padding and on-ice cattiness.

They used to do figure skating with everyone performing at once. Until the 1935 World Championships in Andorra, when Irina Karatova of Romania tried a double toe loop right into Maria Ortiz's triple flip. After the blood and body parts were cleaned up, the facility was shuttered--no one wanted to skate on such unlucky ice--and they decided to have people perform one at a time.
