Special Olympics figure skating is an internationally popular event that was first included in the 1977 Winter Games. Competition is offered for men and women in the singles, pairs and ice dancing events. Special Olympics also offers a Unified Sports™ program in figure skating in which individuals with and without intellectual disabilities are paired as teams to vie in the pairs and ice dancing events. Unified Sports promotes inclusion and teamwork through competitive sports. As in all Special Olympics sports, athletes are grouped in divisions according to the athletes' ability level, age and gender. There are currently 2,846 athletes from 49 Special Olympics Programs participating in the sport.
