Free skate is a type of figure skating where skaters perform routines without the constraints of a specific program. This allows them to express their creativity and showcase their skills through various movements, jumps, and spins. Skaters can choose their own music and choreography, making each performance unique. In competitions, free skate routines are typically judged based on technical elements and artistic impression. Skaters are scored on their execution of jumps, footwork, and overall presentation. This format is popular among both amateur and professional skaters, providing a platform for individual expression in the sport.
