An extremely hard sport to master. Yes it is a sport. In
figure skating a skater must perform two programs. One the short program, is 2.5 minutes long and another, the long program (also know as the freeskate) is 4.25 minutes long. Skating at top speed, you must perform multiple jumps, spins, and footwork sequences. Can you do that? I didn't think so. Almost everyone, if
your grown, will hold on to the wall. We call you guys, "wallhuggers". Don't go around saying figure skaters are slutty because they wear short skirts. They are only worn so that we can do split jumps, spins, and spirals. Think about the cheerleaders going around saying skating is girly because last time I checked, skaters don't run around
on soft, padded floor with giant sparkly hair bows saying "
Go Team!!! Woohoo!!!". I have friends that go to a school who can't wear their cheerleading uniforms to school because skirts are too short. If
the skirts are to short, then why are they their uniforms? It hurts a lot more to fall on rock
hard ice from four feet in the air than it does for hockey players because at least they are covered in padding.
