International Skating Union (ISU) regulations describe pair teams as consisting of "one lady and one man." The sport is distinguished from ice dancing and single skating by elements unique to pair skating, including overhead lifts, twist lifts, death spirals, and throw jumps. The teams also perform the elements of single skating in unison.) Artistic roller skating (Artistic roller skating is a sport similar to figure skating but where competitors wear roller skates instead of ice skates. Within artistic roller skating there are several disciplines: Figures (similar to compulsory or "school" figures on ice); Freestyle (individuals performing jumps and spins); Pairs (a subset of freestyle with two people performing jumps, spins, and lifts); Dance (couple); Solo dance; Precision (team skating, similar to synchronized skating on ice); Show teams)
