World Figure Sport sponsors competitions, the flagship being the annual World Figures & Fancy Skating Championships on Black Ice. The next Championship will be held October 9-13 in Lake Placid, NY. Participation is for all skaters, all ages, all levels.
Objective Judging
We sequester judges to avoid bias. The referee watches the skater and notes penalty points. The examiner does not see the skater and has no knowledge of any penalty points. Penalty points are given if a skater places a foot down or any other body or equipment part onto the ice.
World Figure Sport’s Jurisdiction & Eligibility
World Figure Sport is an independent international sports body that operates under its own jurisdiction, rules, and sanctions since its founding in 2015. The upcoming 2024 season is the 10th Anniversary of the World Figure & Fancy Skating Championships on black ice. WFS has held International Workshops, Exams & Competitions from Alaska to Germany. Members and future members may take WFS’s Skating Exams either virtually worldwide by appointment or in-person with a reservation.
Eligibility to skate with WFS is – simply to be human! Other helpful qualities are an open mind with an eagerness to learn, mindfulness (focus/concentration), perseverance, patience, effort, and a pure love of skating.
No other fake eligibility rules are required for human sport here.
No organization owns the world or sport
Any skater from the US, Canada, or other countries are welcome to skate with World Figure Sport and participate in all of our Figure & Fancy Skating opportunities wearing hockey or figure skates. If anyone or entity tells someone otherwise, that person or organization, is following illegal eligibility rules that have been deemed so by an anti-trust investigation. Note: This includes any members of that specific organization that have followed those illegalities.
With WFS, all types of skaters (representing the countries in the world) are eligible and welcome to participate in the sport discipline of Figures & Fancy Skating (as long as they show good sportsmanship and do not cheat).
Since our founding in 2015, we have upheld sportsmanship with unbiased judging and the inherent freedom to participate in sport, skating, competition, association, commerce and trade for all skaters and skating educators.
