Figure skaters are judged by how flawlessly they preform their artistic movements, and also if they followed their original routine or not. They are judged on how in sync they are to the chosen music, and if they are in pairs, how synchronized their spinning and jumping are. They are judged to see how many times they make a mistake or fall down, or touch their hands to the ice for too long. They are also judged by their movements and the attitude in the air.
