It depends on where you live how old you are. Who ever you are skating for decides how much you get paid. If you are going pro then you would more than likely get paid a lot. But you also lose a lot of money too. you pay at least $6,000 a year to be a professional skater.
When competing in things like the National, World, or Grand Prix events, they aren't paid. They are doing it for enjoyment. While many of them are sponsored, they are not paid. Once skaters quit the competing and join the pro, like Stars on ice, they get paid, but I don't know how much.
There is no real average for professional figure skaters, since there are different types of figure skaters in general. Some professional skaters may earn $18,000-$30,000 annually. Other types may earn up to $40,000-$55,000 for fall and winter work exclusively.
I'm guessing alot
my friend said 20 million dollars a year
(gr8sk8rgold) Some pros can earn a few thousand per show while cast members of certain (themed) ice shows can earn $19,000 - $40,000 at the end of a show's run. Still, International and National level skaters can add to their earnings with sponsorships or seminars.
No US figure skater has earned 20 million dollars in a year solely from skating. However, I think Michelle Kwan has earned that during her career that spanned a couple of decades between prize winnings and endorsements. Kim Yu-na did earn 9.7 million last year, so she may have bested Michelle with her earnings in a single year and may well reach the 20 million dollar mark within another year or two if things continue to go well for her.
It depends on the coaches previous experience. Coaches with little background get paid about $10 an hour. Very well experienced coaches get paid as much as $120 an hour. This does not include the coaching fees the rink charges.
Figure skater get £79 pounds to do figure skating
Depends on how many shows he/she does
not alot
Synchro involves about 20 girls skating in unison and doing formations on the ice. Figure skating includes singles, pairs, and dance, involving jumps, spins, and steps. Both are competitive, but figure skating is much more demanding.

Math and science have many things to do with figure skating. You could use math to figure out how much time it would take to get from point A to point B. Science is also very important because it adds speed and momentum to figure skating. It also adds gravity. If there were no gravity, figure skating would be impossible because you would not be able to stay on the ground.
a lot
