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.

On the day of Natalia's first figure skating competition, she did great and got first place. Natalia's favorite sport of all time is figure skating, even though she wasn't good at it.
"Figure skating was first contested as an Olympic sport at the 1908 Summer Olympics, in London, United Kingdom. As this traditional winter sport could be conducted indoors, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) approved its inclusion in the Summer Olympics program." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Olympic_medalists_in_figure_skating
I love figure skating!!
uhhh no. figure skating is in an ice arena...
No, a pinwheel is not a figure skating jump. It is a skating move the a group of skaters can do.
