Figure skating, unique in its sublimely beautiful combination of
technical precision, musicality, and interpretive elements, has
undergone many dramatic developments since the only other history
of the sport was published in 1959. This exciting and
information-packed new history describes skating's many technical
and artistic advances, its important personages, its intrigues and
scandals, and its historical high points. Abundant full-color and
black-and-white photographs illustrate the text. James R. Mines
divides his history into three periods separated by the World Wars.
First, he follows functional and recreational ice skating through
its evolution into national schools, culminating in the
establishment of the International Skating Union and the ascendancy
of an international style of skating. Second, he explains the
changes that occurred as the sport expanded into the form we
recognize and enjoy today. And finally, he shows how skating became
increasingly athletic, imaginative, and intense following World War
II, as the main focus turned to the skaters themselves.
