Overview

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.
