Ice skating : All The Best Free Flash Games Relating To Ice Skating

Ice-skating is a sport consisting on moving on a frozen surface. Skaters are equipped with ice-skates, special boots on which blades are attached at the bottom. They can practice this activity outdoor, on a frozen lake for instance, or indoor, on an ice-rink. The surface of the ice-rink is covered with a thin layer of ice produced superficially.

Three academic disciplines have been recognized by the International Skating Union: the figure skating, the Short-Track and the Speed-skating.

Figure Skating is a sport, but has artistic values : Skaters have to perform very hard figures (jumps) while maintaining their body in a constant state of elegance.

On the contrary, Short-track and speed-skating are based on speed performance: On short-track competitions, skaters are due to skate on an oval ice track. The winner is the one who manages to come first on the finishing line.

Speed-skating is a time trial: skaters are moving on the same kind of ice-track, but they challenge time, not directly their opponents! Both sports are really astonishing, because the skaters, moving all along a curved track, are constantly challenged by the centrifugal force!
