HISTORY OF ICESKATING The history of figure skating stretches back to prehistoric times, when archaeological evidence of the activity has been found. Figure skating is one branch of ice skating, which has divided itself into several separate sports since its prehistoric beginnings, figure skating being one of them. The first concrete mention of ice skating is found in a book written by William Fitz Stephen, a monk in Canterbury. In his book about Thomas Beckett, he writes the following, a description of a scene taking place below the northern city walls of Canterbury during the winter: . if the moors in Finsbury and Moorefield freeze over, children from London play. Some of the children have attached bones to their ankles, and carry well-worn sticks. They fly across the ice like birds, or well-fired arrows. Suddenly, two children will run at each other, sticks held high in the air. They then attack each other until one falls down. Often, the children injure their heads or break their arms or legs.
WHERE ICESKATING IS MOST POPULAR The exact time and process by which humans first learned to ice skate is not known, though archaeologists believe the activity was widespread. The convenience and efficiency of ice skating to cross large, icy areas is shown in archaeological evidence by the finding of primitive animal bone ice skates in places such as Russia, Scandinavia, Great Britain, Germany, and Switzerland. Modern figure skating is divided into four parts: single skating events for both sexes, pair skating, ice dancing, and synchronized skating. Men's solo figure skating has been dominated by U.S., Canadian, and Russian skaters, including Brian Orser, Brian Boitano, Alexander Fadeev, Viktor Petrenko, Kurt Browning, Elvis Stojko, Alexei Yagudin, EvgeniPlushenko, Evan Lysacek,Patrick Chan , Dimitriand Fiona sukhanov and many more. Ice skating is a very popular sport and it has been round for hundreds of years maybe even thousands.
