FIGURE SKATING

What is Figure Skating?

Figure skating is one of the most popular sports.
If you skated for the 1st time, then it would be hard, and you might fall.
Later, you’ll find out how fun it is to glide through the ice. Sometimes, you can get a serious injury from skating… For example, you could hurt your leg or your arm. The first ice skates were made from bones. This is one of the Olympic sports and individuals or pairs will do tricks, such as jumps, spins, and many more.
