figure skating
The earliest ice skating happened in southern Finland about 4000 years ago.
Figure skating was an event in the first Winter Olympics in 1924. (Prior to that, it was actually part of the Summer Olympics in 1908 and 1912.)
You can train for figure skating at your town/city's arena. Training for figure Skating can vary. You need to learn the basics of the sport, the jumps and spins, and the stuff inbetween also known as foot work. Every skater is different. It may take longer for someone to land a simple axel jump than for another.

It depends on what type of figure skating you are referring to. If it is a beginner skater, athletic pants (no jeans) with a long sleeve shirt, jacket and gloves. If it is a advanced skater on a freestyle session, athletic pants or a skating dress with tights and gloves.
While people have been ice skating for centuries, figure skating in its current form originated in the mid-19th century by Englishman Robert Jones, the first known account of figure skating. Competitions were then held in the "English style" of skating, which was stiff and formal and bears little resemblance to modern figure skating. American skater Jackson Haines considered the "father of modern figure skating", introduced a new style of skating in the mid-1860s. This style, which incorporated free and expressive techniques, became known as the "international style." Although popular in Europe, Haines' style of skating was not widely adopted in the United States until long after his death.
Figure skating is a sport where if you want to look good skating you have to be graceful. I am a figureskater and help kids skate and if you don't look graceful then you look diff and don't have good balance then you will not look good skating, that is why you must practice because if you haven't been on the ice in a long time and you go out there and start skating all over you will look messy.
It's year-round, as long as the ice rink is indoors.
