These Ain't Your Grandpa's Skates

12 Apr 2025 3 4 17
Modern competitive figure skates are often made from composite material, rather than leather. Many have higher heels to pitch a skater's weight towards the front of the blade. The blades may weigh less and may be designed to withstand more force. 2025 World Figure Skating Championships Boston, Massachusetts AP1067086

Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara of Japan Practice Session The man remains stationary while pivoting. He must keep the appropriate tension on the woman's arm to keep her from collapsing to the ice. The woman must maintain her balance and lower her head to knee level while circling the man. 2025 World Figure Skating Championships Boston, Massachusetts AP1067132

Kevin Aymoz of France Warm up for the competition 2025 World Figure Skating Championship Boston, Massachusetts Caught in midair, it looks frightening, but Kevin Aymoz landed this perfectly on one foot. My Lumix camera is a wonderful all-purpose camera but was not designed to take lightening fast action shots under indoor lighting conditions. However, the audience was not allowed to bring in cameras with interchangeable lenses or zoom lenses longer than 6 inches. Although I would have loved to have had my Canon r7 with its 100-400 monster lens, the Lumix was a real trooper and got the job done. I had fun watching the skaters and was able to capture some interesting moments. AP1067084
