Figure skating at the 1992 Winter Olympics

The figure skating events at the 1992 Winter Olympics happened at the Halle Olympique, next to the Théâtre des Cérémonies, about two kilometres southwest of downtown Albertville. This was a special time for figure skating because the rules were new.

In the men's singles, ladies' singles, and pairs events, the short program counted for one-third of the total score, and the free skating counted for two-thirds. For ice dance, there were two compulsory dances that counted for 20% of the score, the original dance counted for 30%, and the free dance counted for 50%.

The 1992 Winter Olympics was important because it was the first time that the men's and ladies' events did not have a compulsory figures competition. Instead, the short program was called the original program. This change made the games more exciting and different from past Olympics.
