Can someone get hurt in figure skating?

Not usually. Sometimes if you are doing things with other people, grabbing your own blades, or fall akwardly, you will get cut. I've been skating for 12 years and have only gotten cut once.

How were the first ice skates made?

The first skates were deer-skin leather straps with long, bone blades that could bee tied to the bottom of a shoe. As they evolved to wood, people began to use them more for recreation than traveling and moving things easier over the ice. The blades were shortened down with a toe pick and boot added. "Speedskates" which were essentially the first kind of skate, are still used. Metal and plastic have taken over the fine wood and leather boots that are almost impossible to find. Figure skates have not evolved as much as speedskates, and hockey skates are more recent. They were made of wood, with fitted boots, and are now large and built for tough support.

Is it easier to learn to skate on figure skates or hockey skates?

Neither, really. It mostly depends on what you decide to start with. People who skate in hockey skates generally fall over on the toe picks when they try figure skates, and even accomplished figure skaters say they feel like they're gonna fall over when they put on hockey skates. So it's pretty subjective.

One thing I can say from personal experience, figure skates encourage much better posture and skating technique than hockey skates, as figure skates require you to straighten your back out much more to skate in/not fall over on the toepicks in them compared to hockey skates, I started in hockey skates and switched to figure like a week ago, so yeah.

The only bad part of figure skates is, if you get a higher end pair to just start out in, the toe picks will be close to the ice, so if you lean forward much at all, you'll fall on your face. The other issue is, up to about the 80s, figure skates were made of a single layer of leather, that you could move your ankle around in, like a combat boot. I find these really really hard to skate in, due to the lack of ankle support, compared to hockey boots. I'm sure if you start in them, you can eventually get used to them, but after starting in hockey skates, I could not at all. However, newer figure skates are as stiff/stiffer than most hockey skates, so that's no longer an issue, but I'm just saying this if you find some cheap $20 brand new Chinese "figure skates" or find some older skates at a garage sale or something.

If you slide a hockey puck across a frictionless ice rink these must be a horizontal force on it too keep it in the motion?

F=ma constant speed would mean 'a' acceleration is zero thus force zero.

The puck would be in equilibrium, and the force would be zero at constant motion. Constant motion is constant velocity including the constant zero velocity.

Who won 2006 olympic women's figure skating gold medal?

Sasha Cohen of the United States. She had been a favorite to win, and had a slim lead after the short program, but Sasha is notorious for never being able to skate a clean competition; she usually skates one program beautifully, and makes mistakes in the other, and she did so at the 2006 Olympics. She and Russia's Irina Slutskaya both made mistakes in their free skate, which allowed Shizuka Arakawa to come from third place to win Japan's first gold medal in women's figure skating.

How do you do a spiral in figure skating?

You raise once leg and balance and glide on one foot. If you are right footed raise your right foot up and vice versa for left footed. Straighten both knees, and raise your free leg (leg in the air) to at least hip height or 90 degrees. Turn your foot horizontal to the ice, point your foot, and hold leg in that position for as long as intended or desired.

How do ice skaters glide so smooth across the ice?

The weight of a skater is concentrated in the thin blades of the skate, which exert enough pressure on the ice to cause some of it to melt. The water then lubricates the skate, which moves almost frictionlessly across the ice. Even without lubrication, ice tends to be quite slippery. So as long as the skater can remain balanced, the movement is quite smooth.
