Figure Skating

Guildford Spectrum does it :) about £7 for the pair I think.

She trains at Canton, Mich.

Just ask her out. Ask her what her plans are that night, or when she is free, and if she would be interested in going ice skating with you and tell her it will be really fun and just be nice. If she says no, then she says no. Just try again later and sometimes it will work and sometimes it won't, and then you just have to keep trying, or move on.

Trying to catch yourself when falling is the primary cause of injury to the arms and shoulders. You can easily break your arm, wrist or collar bone. You could also dislocate your elbow or shoulder. There are ways of falling so that you can use your arms to protect your head and face without risking breaks to the arm.

The general idea is to cross your hands and put them in front of your face and push your elbows up and out as far as possible. The hands protect your face and the force will be spread out across your arms and chest rather than focused on an bone in the arm. Yes, you may get scraped, but that heals faster than a broken bone!

The cast of Michelle Kwan Figure Skating - 1999 includes: Michelle Kwan as herself

no she is a figure skating person why would she be a judge you ding dong

He invented them to be famous.

The scratch spin is an upright spin where the free leg is crossed over the skating knee and then pushed down towards the ice. As the arms are pulled in towards the chest, a blur effect can be achieved if the spin is done fast. It is the most popular spin among figure skaters.

It depends what kind of a competition it is...If its a big competition like international competitions the competition will run over a series of days. if it is a small competition it will only go for a few hours...

It usually takes about 10-15 min and you can get it done at any ice rink at the place where you rent skates

No, a pinwheel is not a figure skating jump. It is a skating move the a group of skaters can do.

Brian Boitano was the first American male skater to land a triple axel in competition, at the US Nationals in 1982.

Tanya Harding landed the first triple axel by an American female skater at Skate America in 1991.

They were both born in Nottingham.

His 2010 Gold medal scores were 90.30 in the short program, and 167.37 in free skating, for a total of 257.67 (Evgeni Plushenko took the silver medal with a score of 256.36 after scoring a 255.39 in winning the European championship).

Nancy Kerrigan was injured in an attack before the Olympics. The culprit turned out to be a friend of fellow skater Tonya Harding.

There is no such thing called a sow cow. It is just the salchow.

Figure skating is a dangerous sport. It is difficult to learn, and some beginners feel they spend more time on the ice after falling than actually skating. When learning to do spins, beginning skaters sometimes gash their legs or ankles with their blades. Throughout their careers, skaters sprain and strain muscles, suffer stress fractures, tear ligaments and get bruised. They can have the wind knocked out of them, can dislocate collar bones or even break bones from falls. Concussions can also happen.

Singles skaters can reach speeds over 20 mph, and ladies in pairs skating move even faster doing throw jumps, and at those speeds the risk of injury when things go wrong is great. Pairs skaters doing side-by-side spins too close to each another have been seriously injured when the blade of the free leg of one skater hits the head of the other. A mistake on the part of the lady, the man or both can lead to a lift's ending in a fall. These can be very dangerous because the lady can be 10'-12' in the air, and fall to the ice in a dead weight. The couple can also fall on top of each other.

The ankles and knees take a beating in figure skating. In ice dancing, the piston-like movements of the knees cause wear and tear on the joints, and in singles and pairs the impact of thousands of jumps mean few competitive skaters make it to their late 20s without having one or more surgeries on their knees, ankles or shins.

Maybe!! good for them, maybe they could pair up and skate for either US or Italy, but I should imagine Federica will have something to say about that.

The thing that ****** off is that male skaters have to be labelled gay. I was a skater too and there is so much hearsay.

I have decided to label all footballers as gay as they really do look like closet cases to me!!

Yes.Figure skaters cant wear their hair down for a show because it will get in their face:-)

you can ice skate on artificial ice anytime

or an indoor ice rink

if you want outdoor, has to be winter

Katarina Witt won the Olympic gold medal in figure skating in 1984 and 1988.

Well, this depends on how tall you are and how big your feet are. When I was ten, I had a size 3 or 4 in children's sizes. I would recommend to go to a skate shop and ask for a person to measure your feet.
