Ice Skating

Ice skating is a recreational and competitive activity that involves gliding over ice using specialized footwear called skates. The blades of the skates are designed to cut into the ice, allowing for smooth movement. Ice skating can be performed for leisure, as a form of artistic expression in figure skating, or in various sports such as ice hockey and speed skating. It is often practiced on frozen lakes, rinks, or arenas that provide a controlled ice surface. The activity can be done individually or in groups, and it can involve performing tricks, racing, or playing team sports. Ice skating requires balance, coordination, and skill, making it a popular pastime in many cold-weather regions.
