Blades on ice
Skating is gliding over a surface on blades or wheels attached to footwear.
Ice skating uses metal blades on frozen surfaces; roller skating and inline skating use wheels on pavement.
Figure skating emphasizes artistic movement and jumps.
To skate can mean to move quickly through something: He skated through the interview.
To be skating on thin ice is to take dangerous risks.
