Ice skating does not require any friction because the skater needs to glide on the ice and if there was any friction on ice the skater would have trouble to skate smoothly on the ice.

That is why ice skating does not require any friction at all from my perspective.

In sports like skiing or Snowboarding friction slows you down. That is why you wax your board or skis.
