You're in the right place, but with the wrong acronym definition. Figure Skating has a number of acronyms that we use without thinking, such as:

SP - Short Program

LP - Long Program

FS - Free Skate or Freestyle or Figure Skating

LFI/LBO/LFO/LBI/RFI/RBO/RFO/RBI - Left or Right, Forward or Backward, Inside or Outside

IJS - International Judging System

ISU - International Skating Union

ISI/ISIA - Ice Skating Institute (of America)

USFSA - United States Figure Skating Association (aka: US Figure Skating)

There are many, many more, especially if you look at the abbreviations used in judging skaters' programs.

Great question - thanks for asking.
