Ice skating is a sport and has also become a very popular recreational activity during the Christmas period. The sport of ice skating is a very popular one as there are two different types that can be performed, figure skating and speed skating. Ice skating has even become an Olympic event as figure skating was introduce in the 1908 London Summer Games.
Ice skating can also be used in conjunction with other sports for example ice hockey and curling. Curling is also an Olympic sport however ice skating is not.
During the Christmas period many ice skating arenas are set up around the nation to get people into the festive spirit. Also providing that the weather is cold enough some people would even skate on frozen lakes, canals or ponds. This would not usually occur in Ireland as even though the weather is cold it is not cold enough.
