Disciplines of artistic roller skating

Within artistic roller skating there are several disciplines: 

• Pairs: (a subset of freestyle with two people performing jumps, spins, and lifts) 

• Freestyle: Artistic freestyle skating incorporates figure skating jumps, spins, and footwork into a program set to music.

• Show teams: There are two groups: 16-30 skaters and other small group for 6-12 skaters

 

• Precision: (team skating, similar to synchronized skating on ice). Precision Roller Skating is a large and fast-growing, yet little recognized discipline, consisting of 12-24 athletes skating on the floor at one time moving as one flowing unit at high speeds. This discipline of Precision Skating is named because of the emphasis on maintaining precise formations and timing of the group.
