Figure skating, which is the world’s most popular winter Olympic sport, is the subject of this volume.

From the development of the indoor ice rink, to the application of Newton’s laws of motion, to the psychological challenges faced by many skaters, Mac Kay explores how these athletes achieve amazing physical accomplishments and perfect their art.
