Figure Skating at the 1932 Lake Placid Winter Games

For the first time, the Olympic Winter Games figure skating competition was contested indoors, at the [Olympic Arena] in Lake Placid. In 1920, it had also been contested indoors, when on the Summer Olympic Program. Men and women skated compulsory figures and a free skating program, with the compulsory figures counting towards 60% of the final score, while pairs skated a single free skate program. Overall placements were determined by the majority placement system.
