When did figure skating start being played in the winter Olympics?
1924
Is figure skating a real sport?
Figure Skating is classed as a sport and is recognised by the International Olympics Committee as being one!!
When did figure skating become a Winter Olympic sport?
44 years ago Not so. Figure Skating first appeared in 1908 at the London Summer Games featuring 4 events (one being "special figures" that afterward was not contested separately from the singles event). Figure Skating next appeared at the 1924 Winter Olympics held in Chamonix, France and with the exception of the 1940 and 1944 Games that were suspended because of WW II, figure skating has been a permanent fixture at the Winter Olympics. So figure skating has been a Winter Olympics sport for 88 years - double your 44.

Do you have to be fit to do figure skating?
You do not need to be fit to be a figure skater but it would help. Being a figure skater takes a lot of work and if you don't start off fit and you keep with the sport you will need to become fit!
Can you still be in the Olympics at 16 and start figure skating at 11?
Technically, yes, but it would be quite complex and difficult. In order to compete at the Olympics, you must have passed all of your field move and free style tests as sanctioned by U.S. Figure Skating through the senior level. The senior level is the highest of eight levels. At each level, you must successfully pass the field moves test before taking the freestyle test. For most skaters, it takes about six months to learn and perfect the elements for each level, but as you go up the levels this can take longer. Also, the maturity of skating and quality needed to compete at a high level nationally and internationally take many years to develop. So, I would say that while this is a possible reality, I would suggest setting a more realistic goal that will allow you to enjoy skating and being the best you can be.
