The true difference is that a professional is paid for what they do; be it shows, competitions, ads, promotional videos, etc. An amateur funds their training themselves, through donations, or with the help of their country's skating federation. Today, however, this distinction is no longer as clear because even amateur skaters are allowed to accept some money for advertisement campaigns, competitions, etc. This rule was relaxed in the late 1980s, early 1990s after a group of professional skaters asked to be reinstated so that they could skate in the Olympics again.
