The four disciplines of men's singles, ladies ' singles, pair skating and ice dancing will also appear as part of a team event for the first time at the 2014 Winter Olympics.

* Adagio skating, a form of pair skating most commonly seen in ice shows, where the skaters perform many acrobatic lifts but few or none of the other elements which competitive pairs must perform.

A one arm overhead lift in pair skating

Lifts are a required element in pair skating and ice dancing.

In competitive pair skating, lifts must travel across the ice to be included in the technical elements score while stationary lifts are included in choreography.

As in pair skating, dancers compete as a couple consisting of a man and a woman.

Ice dance differs from pair skating by having different requirements for lifts, requiring spins to be performed as a team in a dance hold, and by disallowing throws and jumps.

Lifts in ice dancing differ from those in pair skating in prohibiting the man from extending his hands above his head, but allowing a wider variety of holds.

Side-by-side jumps performed in unison are required elements in competitive pair skating.

The throw jump is also a required element in pair skating.

In pair skating, skaters perform pair spins and side-by-side spins.

* Figure skating lifts, movements in pair skating and ice dancing

* Side by side pair skating elements

* Inaugural International Skating Union ( ISU ) Championships for pair skating is held at Saint Petersburg

Salé & Pelletier's Olympic gold medal was shared with the Russian pair Elena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze after the 2002 Olympic Winter Games figure skating scandal.

They skated a strong short program but exceeded even their own expectations by skating a nearly flawless long program, earning five 6. 0 marks in presentation – the first for a pair at the championships.

Since the Olympics, the pair has turned professional and are now touring North America with Stars on Ice, a figure skating show.

* A team in pair skating

Hawerchuk was a young prodigy who received his first pair of skates at age two and, according to his father, " was skating before he could walk.

Pairs perform elements specific to the discipline such as throw jumps, in which the man ' throws ' the woman into a jump ; lifts, in which the woman is held above the man's head in one of various grips and positions ; pair spins, in which both skaters spin together about a common axis ; death spirals ; and other elements such as side-by-side jumps and spins in unison.

Additionally, in pairs and in ice dancing, there are pair and dance spins, during which both skaters rotate around the same axis while holding onto each other.

Then, the electrons to be placed in the molecular orbitals are slotted in one by one, keeping in mind the Pauli exclusion principle and Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity ( only 2 electrons, having opposite spins, per orbital ; place as many unpaired electrons on one energy level as possible before starting to pair them ).

Spins must be performed by both skaters revolving around the same axis, the same as in pair spins.

In pair spins, the skaters hold onto each other and rotate together, but may be in different positions.

In ice dancing, skaters perform dance spins, which are similar to pair spins.

Symbolically, the correlation between results for a single pair can be represented as either "+ 1 " for a match ( opposite spins ), or "− 1 " for a non-match.

Remarkably, it could be said that there was a grain of truth in this idea, because it was later shown that the Pauli exclusion principle results in a " Fermi hole " of decreased repulsion between a pair of electrons with opposite spins in the same orbital.

A pair of electrons in a metal, with opposite spins can form a scalar bound state called a Cooper pair.

That is, the spin of the excited electron is still paired with the ground state electron ( a pair of electrons in the same energy level must have opposite spins, per the Pauli exclusion principle ).

where the sum counts each pair of spins only once.

When his mother leaves a pair of pies out to cool, Piggy swipes a pie from the windowsill and spins it around his finger as he eats it ; he tries to eat a second pie in the same manner, but his mother catches him in time and he accidentally chomps on his bare fingers.

This is exactly equivalent to having an antiferromagnetic interaction between each pair of spins, so in this case there is no geometrical frustration.

According to one model, cryptochrome, when exposed to blue light, becomes activated to form a pair of two radicals ( molecules with a single unpaired electron ) where the spins of the two unpaired electrons are correlated.

According to one model, cryptochrome forms a pair of two radicals with correlated spins when exposed to blue light.

The return spring tension may be adjusted to suit individual requirements by gripping the spring housing with a pair of pliers ( to prevent the spring from unwinding when it is released ), loosening the lock nut or screw, and rotating the housing until the desired tension is achieved.

Then there are a pair of old biddies played by Grace Carney and Sibly Bowan who may be right off the shelf of stock Irish characters, but they put such a combination of good will and malevolence into their parts that they're quite entertaining.

This opens the way for virtual pair production or annihilation in which a one particle quantum state may fluctuate into a two particle state and back.

Autosomes appear in pairs whose members have the same form but which differ from other pairs in a diploid cell, whereas members of an allosome pair may differ from one another and thereby determine sex.

For the first rally of any doubles game, the serving pair may decide who serves and the receiving pair may decide who receives.

A pair of wheels may be called a wheelset, especially in the context of ready-built " off the shelf ", performance-oriented wheels.

After one pair of Bézout coefficients ( x, y ) has been computed ( using extended Euclid or some other algorithm ), all pairs may be found using the formula

Ten may also be known as " puppy paws " or " a pair of sunflowers.

The ancestor may be an individual, a breeding pair, a population or even a species ( extinct or extant ).

Once the female chooses a partner, the mated pair may remain temporarily monogamous for a number of years.

According to one pair of scholars, " The actual authorship of the three maxims set up on the Delphian temple may be left uncertain.

A PCI device has often an ID pair for the main chip of the device, and also a subsystem ID pair which identifies the vendor, which may be different from the chip manufacturer.

The pair of axioms A3 and A4 may be replaced either by the pair:

a pair of quantum systems may be described by a single wave function, which encodes the probabilities of the outcomes of

For instance, a player may bluff by playing a pair of aces as if it were a straight, touch, or full house.

In a pair lift, no more than one arm may be fully extended above the head at any time.

In fact, a pair of false friends may be true cognates ( see false friends: causes ).

The pair has been compared to similar figures found in Greek, Roman and Vedic mythology, and may also be connected to beliefs surrounding the Germanic " wolf-warrior bands ", the Úlfhéðnar.

The ordination of a priest occurs before the Anaphora ( Eucharistic Prayer ) in order that he may on the same day take part in the celebration of the Eucharist: During the Great Entrance, the candidate for ordination carries the Aër ( chalice veil ) over his head ( rather than on his shoulder, as a deacon otherwise carries it then ) as a symbol of giving up his diaconate, and comes last in the procession and stands at the end of the pair of lines of the priests.
