ice skating
The activity or sport of gliding on ice wearing bladed boots. Includes recreational skating, figure skating, and speed skating.
From English "ice skate/skating." In everyday Japanese, the shorter form スケート is more common and usually implies ice skating unless otherwise specified. アイススケート is used when distinguishing from ローラースケート (roller skating) or when emphasizing that the activity takes place on ice.
Figure skating (フィギュアスケート) is extremely popular in Japan, and Japanese athletes have won numerous Olympic medals in the sport.
