Skating

Skating is a recreational or competitive activity that involves gliding across a surface, typically ice or a smooth solid surface like pavement, using skates. In ice skating, participants wear blades attached to their shoes that allow them to slide across ice, engaged in various styles such as figure skating, hockey skating, or speed skating. Roller skating, on the other hand, involves wheels attached to a boot, enabling movement on solid ground. Skating can be performed for leisure, fitness, or as part of organized sports and entertainment. It is characterized by its fluid motion, balance, and skill, making it a popular activity worldwide.
