From Pre-Alpha to Freestyle: Figure Skating Through the Lens of Filipino Figure Skaters

Figure skating has been around since 1772 when an Englishman by the name of Robert Jones gave a whole new meaning to the concept of skating on ice, and since then, it has been a sport loved by many around the world.

Figure skating has been around since 1772 when an Englishman by the name of Robert Jones gave a whole new meaning to the concept of skating on ice, and since then, it has been a sport loved by many around the world. However, despite its long history, many researchers have stated that there is still a paucity of information regarding figure skating.

This study, therefore, aims to analyze figure skating in the Philippines through the lens of Filipino figure skaters. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, the researcher conducted semi-structured interviews (SSI) with figure skaters and Philippine Skating Union (PHSU) coaches and officials. It was found that the practices which Filipino figure skaters do are the same ones being practiced abroad because as a country new to figure skating, the dance sport does not have much popularity yet which limits the chances of having practices that are uniquely Filipino.
