Figure Skating

The history of ice skates is still a subject of controversy. It dates to the European medieval ages. It is said the first ice skates were tried in Finland in the 1400's. It was first used with steel and the bottom parts were also sharp. No one person can be credited to this sport except it was game played by both layman and Royals. It is said King James II of England once visited the Netherlands and saw the sport and got loyal to it and after his return the game was appreciated in England. Also there are lot of evidences from the 14th and 15th century where they show the paintings depicted with ice skates. Some historians still debate on the inception of ice skates saying it was played much before. According to a recent research some historian found in a lake in Switzerland animal bones dating back to 3000 B.C used as ice skates. But nevertheless it became more popular only after the 14th and 15th centuries. Hope this helps.

You can be any age, as you will be playing (if you choose to do so) against people of a similar age range. Most regions have tournaments at friendly level starting at Under 10, with Masters hockey accommodating the 50+ ages.

No.......she was at the winter Olympics the other day.

About 6 years old.

If you mean a jump, it could refer to any of the 360 degree rotation jumps (single salchow, toe-loop, loop, flip, or lutz). If you mean a turn without leaving the ice it could be a single rotation twizzle (a turn that rotates and travels down the ice continuously on one foot) or, if it's on two feet: a turn that is generally referred to simply as a "360". Hope this answered your question.

People get points in Figure Skating depending on how difficult the jump, spin, footwork, etc. is. If it is really easy then they won't get any points. Hope that this answers your question.

Speed skating is based on skating for speed, not style. Figure skating is the opposite, as it skates for style and not always speed.

Speed skating requires:

-Lower cut boot, almost like a shoe

-Longer blades than artistic skaters

-the objective is to go fast, not to impress the judges

Figure skating:

-based on competing in a number of levels and elements

-consists of jumps, spins and footwork

-artistry and difficulty are considered when judging

-higher cut boot

-regular length blade, but with a toe pick and edges

Skiing has changed a lot over years. The skis that were used a long time a go were plain with no design. Today skis are fancy, have nice designs on them and have lengths on them. Another thing that has changed is that more people wear helmets. They wear nice clothes and the ski hills are bigger.
