How does the ice skating scoring work?

In ice skating competitions, skaters are judged on their technical elements and artistry. The technical elements are divided into two categories: jumps and spins. Jumps are judged on their height, distance, and execution. Spins are judged on their speed, control, and position. The artistry is judged on the skater's overall performance, including their choreography, interpretation of the music, and presentation.

The technical elements are scored on a scale of 0 to 10, with 10 being the highest score. The artistry is scored on a scale of 0 to 10, with 10 being the highest score. The scores for the technical elements and the artistry are then added together to give the skater's total score.

The skater with the highest total score wins the competition.
