In short, the answer is no. The International Skating Union (ISU) does not allow pairs to consist of two skaters of the same sex. Specifically, the ISU constitution calls for one Lady and one Man in each pair, according to Rule 302. Only the man is allowed to lift, according to the rules.
Pair skating, along with mens and womens single skating, has been an Olympic discipline since figure skating, the oldest Winter Olympic sport, was introduced at the 1908 Summer Olympics in London. The ISU World Figure Skating Championships introduced pair skating, along with womens singles, also in 1908.
Figure skating has both athletic and artistic components, and traditionally these have been apportioned to men and women, respectively.
What you make when (or if) you win. Figure skating is one of the highest-profile sports at the Winter Olympic Games, and the sports national governing body is comparatively large and wealthy. Still, only a fraction of figure skaters make enough to even begin to pay off the money theyve poured into the sport.
The average American female figure skater, for example, is a petite 53 and 108 pounds.
