Figure skating is not Fine Art but it is one of the Arts. Figure skating involves aspects of dance, music, fashion, makeup, costumes ontop of the required elements, therefore it definitely falls under the arts.
The same reasons why Languages, Music, Cinema, Dance, Photography, Design, Crafts, Culinary etc.. all fall under the discipline of the Arts. The act requiring a multi disciplinary approach involving Descriptive, Prescriptive, Creative, Interpretative, Physical Expression, where the end results are manifestation of these critical processes under 'good' art.
As such, anything existing, routine, tried, tested, repeated can be considered as unoriginal, uncreative similar to manufactured goods, therefore of less artistic value. Although it may improve the craftmanship aspect, therefore, it should be judged as such and not wholesale.
