Definition
• Ice skating is the act of moving on ice by using ice skates.
• Reasons: exercise, leisure, traveling and various sports.
• It occurs both on specially prepared ice surfaces (ice skating rinks), both
indoors and outdoors, as well as on naturally bodies of frozen water, such
as ponds, lakes and rivers.
• ! Our suggestion
Beginnings
• A study by Federico Formenti of the University of Oxford suggests that the
earliest ice skating happened in southern Finland more than 3,000 years
ago.
• Originally, skates were merely sharpened, flattened bone strapped to the
bottom of the foot. Skaters did not actually skate on the ice, but rather
glided on top of it.
• True skating emerged when a steel blade with sharpened edges was used.
Skates now cut into the ice instead of gliding on top of it.
• Skating became popular as a recreation, a means of transport
and spectator sport in The Fens in England for people from all
walks of life. Racing was the preserve of workers, most of
them agricultural labourers.
• Skating as a sport developed on the lakes of Scotland and the
canals of the Netherlands.
