Упражнение 35. Глаголы в нужной форме: ICE DANCING

The fi rst world championship in ice dancing was held in 1952 in Paris where J. Westwood and L. Denny of Great Britain won the champions’ titles.

In 1970 L. Pakhomova and A. Gorshkov brought the world title to our country and won it fi ve more times. They were the fi rst Olympic champions when in 1976 ice dancing became part of the Olympics.

Ice dancing competitions include compulsory and freestyle dances. Like in ice figure-skating, judges give two marks: for the technical quality and for the artistic impression of each dance. The top mark is 6 points. Usually from 7 to 9 judges are employed, and all points are added up to decide the winners.

Sportsmen use the same type of skates both for fi gure-skating and ice dancing. The skates have a toe-rake or “teeth” in front and a hollow groove on the sole of the blades whose sharp edges do not allow skidding. The skates are screwed to anklehigh skating boots. Women’s boots are usually white and men’s–black. Knowledge and skill is needed to lace the boots correctly. When not on ice skate-guards of wood or plastic are put on the blades.

Women fi gure-skaters are usually dressed in one-piece suit with sleeves and a short skirt. Men wear long trousers and a short jacket. Sometimes, especially in free programmes, fantastic clothes are worn which add to the artistic impression of the performance.

Упражнение 40. Предлоги: FIGURE SKATING

There is nothing finer than Russian winter. How thrilling it is to ski through the unbroken snow, to slide down hills on sleds or skim along over the mirror-like surface of a rink. There is not a winter sport that has not got its enthusiasts among people. Figure skating is one of the winter sports whose elegance and excitement are attracting more and more people. It is called the sport of eternal youth. Anyone who steps on the smooth ice of the rink will soon discover that this is a sure way to forget your age.

The ranks of figure skaters, to say nothing of its fans, are increasing by thousands every year. The popularity of figure skating has grown fabulously over recent years. Figure skating tournaments have become the best entertainment for millions of fans all over the world due to the high aesthetic pleasure it affords. One cannot become a good fi gure skater without having an ear for music, without loving to dance or being able to subordinate one’s movements to musical rhythms. Besides training on the ice the young figure skaters have ballet classes. We are used to seeing four-and five-year-olds (earning their ABC on the ice side by side with adults who are past sixty.

The truth of the Russian proverb: “Nobody’s old in the winter cold” is obvious to anyone.
