iceskating
Frozen gliding activity
Ice skating is gliding across ice on bladed footwear.
Figure skating emphasizes artistry and choreographed movements; speed skating is racing.
Hockey players skate as part of the game.
Rinks provide controlled surfaces, but people also skate on frozen ponds and lakes.
The compound appears variously as ice skating, ice-skating, and iceskating.
