A young girl competes in the compulsory figures portion of a figure skating competition. Compulsory figures, also called school figures, are a series of patterns which skaters trace on the ice to demonstrate skill and technique. Compulsory figures accounted for a percentage of a skater's overall score in competition until the 1990s, when the International Skating Union voted to eliminate them from competition.
