Riddles and Figure Skating

[FaustinaF]

Hi everyone!

I believe some more skating entertainment should fit perfectly especially for this Christmas time, so I was thinking: why not begin a funny thread about riddles on figure skating? (I hope this is the right place to start this, or should it be moved to another section, like Le Café?..)
We can post riddles about every aspect of the figure skating world, from the skaters' elements and accessories to the international events, guessing a skater's, coach name ecc , so whatever regards figure skating!
When someone post a riddle there is not a time established to answer it, just take your time and have some fun! I think we shouldn't set a difficult level established, so... please just "don't be cruel" But if we think we did a little bit more difficult riddle, we could add a little clue.
Hope you will enjoy this thread!
(Note: please don't make references to politics, physical aspects of someone and controversial facts, but try to use appropriate terms that fit for the riddles, thank you)

I will start with my first riddle:

"I'm no artist, but I always draw perfect lines,
and when you care for me, I always shine,
I want to be controlled, otherwise I will hurt you,
and I'll never bend myself a bit, that's what I do.
Who am I?"

blades?

 

[FaustinaF]

blades?

Yes

How about this one:

"I'm something that every program needs,
but I don't always please the viewer.
Sometimes a classical piece succeeds,
but others prefer something newer.
People say not that old warhorse again,
it's been massively overdone.
Or they dislike the vocals, so it is plain
that I'll never please everyone."
What am I?

 

[4everchan]

Music

 

[FaustinaF]

@stargazer1 , yours was brilliant
Here comes another:

It's the most awaited moment:
it can makes someone cry
or exults someone with bright eyes,
hated and hoped... it's part of the event!

What it it?

 

[4everchan]

Scores?

 

[FaustinaF]

You got it!

 

[stargazer1]

Okay, I'll try another one.

I am a jump that was thought to be
impossible for anyone to do,
until a skater landed me,
then did it several more times too.
Take off going forwards if you dare
but land going backwards on one skate,
after turning 4.5 times in the air
at a very fast rate.

What am I?

 

[skylark]

Quad axel ?

 

[Mathman]

If you see me coming better heed my advice:
Jump back quick and high-tail it off the ice.

When they’re playing my music I got the right of way.
I’m a smooth operator, and I don’t play.

Chunks and ruts, they disappear fast,
They’re gone in a hurry when I glide past.

 

[NanaPat]

The Zamboni!

 

[stargazer1]

I am something all skaters should wear
and I always come as a pair.
Wear me on your feet before starting to skate,
but take me off first or your glide won't be great.

skate guards?

In the previous century
I made the history
when I embarrassed the one who was skin-close to me
and I am blue. Who am I? Remember me?

 

[4everchan]

Is it Scott Hamilton blue track suit ? LOL

[4everchan]

? Scott Hamilton ?

I wasn't sure if the question was aiming at the skater or the costume LOL

Keep guessing, this is the right direction... partially.
Verse 2:

With me, she was happy, cheerful and proud
and even louder cheered the crowd
But the panel of judges wasn't impressed
they hurried to claim that I was a mess
and changed the code to make her wear dress... (come on!!)
