2009 European Figure Skating Championships

Hello IL Friends,

Hope you all would have heard about Figure Skating ... That is one of my favourite Winter Sports which I never miss to watch ...

"The European Championships concluded today with the Ladies Free Skating event. Finland's Laura Lepistö won her first European title in front of the packed Harwall Areena, while teammate Susanna Pöykiö settled for bronze. Carolina Kostner of Italy rose from third to capture the silver."



What a lovely dance to be watched ... that needs a real talent ... Winning the First place is not that easy ...

Have anyone watched this program ? Please share your interests friends...

dear suni
i have always loveed watching this sport... and i always felt that this is the only possible sensous sport. i am sure everybody must be looking at the skaters romancing with the tunes and falling a prey to their magic.
and yes its difficult, imagine doing two things at a time..dancing and skating.

Dear Muzna, Thank you so much for stepping In and giving such a wonderful reply.

Hi Suni:

My children and myself loved watching figure skating while we were in the UK. But of late, have been out of touch.

It is such a graceful sport. It seems difficult maintaining grace while skating!

While I was in college, I remember there was a Gujarati figure skater - not sure if he competed internationally a lot. Can't recall his name though.

Dear Sindhu,

Sorry for my delay in reply dear. Yes, it is very difficult to show such a grace while skating. Nice to hear there was one Figure Skating person that too in India... Hope he would have gone to other stages ...

Thank you so much for your kind reply Sindhu.

Thank you for sharing here dear and sorry for my delay in reply ...

Dear Lahy,

I used to watch figure skating few years back and could not help but marvel at the extraordinary skill displayed by the lithe contestants.

I used to wonder if I would ever be able to perform atleast one manoeuver in my lifetime without breaking my bones or hurting myself.It needs years of practice, patience and great passion to achieve mastery in this field.

Hats off to all those figure skating professionals for their perseverance in maintaing that svelte figure which is required for all those nimble moves.
