An Overview of Ice Skating
There's figure skating and speed skating - sports you may have seen at the Winter Olympics. But skating doesn't have to be competitive. You can put on a pair of skates (which you can hire at rinks) and start gliding across the ice. It's best to make sure you can skate in a straight line before you attempt jumps and turns.
Under the general term of 'figure skating' there are five separate competitions at International Level:
- Men's singles skating
- Ladies' singles skating
- Ice dancing
- Pairs skating
- Synchronized skating
