Ice Blades

Figure ice skating is one of the most beautiful and complex sports there are. It combines the beauty of classical ballet with the highest technical and physical demands.

I’ve been an ice skating enthusiast for some years now, worked as a coach and also opened the Ice Blades blog to share this passion with everyone else.

There are many categories inside figure skating:

-         Singles, both men and women.

-         Pairs.

-         Dance.

-         Synchro.

 

And lately there are even competitions for older people, gay couples, etc. So the variety inside figure skating has grown a lot.

 

But for as difficult as it can be for top performance skaters to get to their level, it’s an easy sport for the recreational practitioner who just wants to have fun and improve bit by bit at his own rhythm.

It has many physical benefits too: it improves your aerobic capabilities, helps your flexibility, increases your balance and reflexes, etc.

 

So for these reasons and many others it’s a very good sport for a wide range of people of all ages.
