Best Answer

1848

2nd Answer

The oldest pair of skates known date back to about 3000 B.C., found at the bottom of a lake in Switzerland. The skates were made from the leg bones of large animals, holes were bored at each end of the bone and leather straps were used to tie the skates on. An old Dutch word for skate is "schenkel" which means "leg bone".

Around the 14th Century, the Dutch started using wooden platform skates with flat iron bottom runners. The skates were attached to the skater's shoes with leather straps. Poles were used to propel the skater. Around 1500, the Dutch added a narrow metal double edged blade, making the poles a thing of the past, as the skater could now push and glide with his feet (called the "Dutch Roll"). In 1848, E. V. Bushnell of Philadelphia, PA invented the first all steel clamp for skates.

Well, they were probably first used around 3,000 B.C.. The oldest pair of skates known date back that far and were found at the bottom of a lake in Switzerland. Those skates were made from the leg bones of large animals and holes were bored at each end of the bone and leather straps were used to tie the skates on.

Ice Skating its self is not a sport. When you put it in with Hockey, it became a sport a long time ago. So it depends one what you are putting it with. But iceskating its self is not a sport.
