Overview
Once again the figure skating was conducted outdoors, at the [Olympic Ice Stadium]. It had previously been held indoors only in 1920 and 1932. 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. The number of judges' in international figure skating had been fairly standard at seven, but in 1936, the pairs event had nine judges.
