Skating
Olympic sport
Since 1908
Skating dates back to the years 20,000 B.C. Originally skating was a form of transportation, but later evolved into a sport. The Dutch were some of the earlier people to use skating to their advantage. They went from village to village delivering messages. Later, skating spread into the country of England and people started to make skating clubs and artificial ice skating rings. The sport eventually spread through all of Europe and migrated over to the United States of America.
