Why is ice skating considered a sport but not dancing?
Dancing such as ballet is indeed a sport, but as a figure skater
I know ice skating is nothing like ballet. It takes balance and leg
strength. There are jumps where many skaters break bones, fall, and
injure themselvs. You must have endurance to skate in the cold
enviroment.
I'm an ice skater. Ice skating is very difficult to just simply
stand on the ice, let alone do triple axels and lutzes. People have
suffered cracked heads and bones while ice skating. Yes, ice
skating is partly dancing and partly sport. You need the grace, and
the flexibility and balance combined with endurance, strength, and
will to make ice skating. Champions are only formed when they have
these 4 things:
# Determination # Hard Work # Talent/Potential # Love No sport
can be achieved if you don't have all 4 of these things.
