Michelle Kwan has been skating for 24 years. She began skating in 1985 after watching her brother playing hockey.
She won it in 2003, skating to "The Feeling Begins" for her short, and "Aranjuez" for her long. The clip is on youtube.
for a thousand years
There is no doubt that Michelle Kwan began competitively skating because of the love of the sport. Her long career has shown that she does indeed love it, but the vicissitudes of competition may have, at one time, made her doubt her love for it.It remains that, just like Kristy Yamaguchi, she does love it yet is content to do sideline work. As a newly married, she most likely is still working on adjusting to being married. As her husband is a political candidate, she might be concentrating on his political career.Kwan is a seasoned skater, but the fact remains that she has had serious injuries and that she might never return to competitive skating. It does not preclude her from public performances however, and after her personal life settles down, we may yet see her on the ice for the sheer love of it.
Hockey is a team sport with skating in it, so for learning it, the process is more like learning to play soccer. Figure skating, to learn it, it's like a martial art, you learn specific things to do and try to learn to do them correctly and efficiently. So it would depend on what you'd consider harder, figure skating can take a really long time to "master" so in that sense it's harder, however if you have trouble working with a team, executing plays, and doing all the other skills hockey requires (puck handling, checking etc,) then hockey would be harder for you to learn.
* Boots and blades are worn and skated with on ice * flow and glide is required in all elements in figure skating * Free skating is jumping, spinning and step sequences * Figures(or edges) are to improve overall control * figure skating is a popular sport around the world * it is also incredibly fun! Try it!
she has been skating since she was 11.
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.

no, one track is short and the other is long (its common sense)
Learn her language! And learn to skate. The language of skating is different. Learn what a truck is (no not the big rigs), what a stop is, why boots need extra long laces, or why bearings are different for street wheels and rink wheels. Just plain ask her what the answers to these questions are. This will get her attention, and she might even volunteer to help you learn to skate. Find out what the best boots are. Just like any other sport, there are really fun things peculiar to skating. Get into her world, and you might end up with a very athletic date.
she started short track speed skating when she was 10 yrs. old.
