One of the most graceful sports, pairs figure skating has been entertaining winter game lovers for ages. pairs skaters perform elements such as acrobatic lifts that are unique to pair skating, all the while moving in perfect unison. pair skating is difficult because achieving this degree of unison requires similar technique and timing on all elements of the performance, as well as ultimate trust between the partners. What many may not know is that the sport has evolved from its classical roots to something far more daring. Some pair skating maneuvers are now banned from Olympic-eligible skating due to their high risk of serious injury to the skaters. Illegal elements warrant deductions in competition. These moves include the heart-stopping head banger where the female skater is spun by her ankles and elevated and lowered during the spin in a periodic fashion, sometimes with her head coming dangerously close to skimming the ice.
