Spiral,
spins, jumps, intricate footwork - we all marvel when figure skaters
perform their Wonders on Ice. Many of us are skaters, while others
prefer to watch the simple grace of the sport. Minnesotans have
been figure skating for 150 years. We have built rinks, started
clubs, held local, national, and world competitions, and attended
ice shows such as the Ice Follies, Holiday on Ice, and Tom Collin's
Champions on Ice, all with strong ties to Minnesota. Skating is
a lifelong sport that can be enjoyed by the whole family.
