Aw, don't worry about it.  They can move it to sports.

I will stick with my old standby Kick Ball.

And Red Rover. 

Why not??

We're used to watching Ice dancing & Pairs at the World Figure Skating Championships but primarily at the Olympics.

Is there a rule that there must be "boy/girl'? Why not 2 men or 2 women?

Does anyone know if there exists a rule that there can't be 2 people from the same gender participating in such events?

A toupee in the bra would provide for more weight, when that event comes to fruition. A new way of stuffing your bra, I guess.

I did my research...

The ISU "Special Regulations & Techniques for Single & Pair Skating and Ice Dance" as accepted by the 53rd Ordinary Congress (June 2010) state the following:

Rule 302, sub 5:
The composition of a pair must be one Lady and one Man.

Rule 303, sub 4:
The composition of an Ice Dance Couple must be one Lady and one Man.


I think that answers your questions.

Although I feel rules are there to be broken, I don't think it's very likely anyone wil have the guts to stand up against the almighty ISU.
