figure skating

I remember
Peggy Fleming
America's Olympic
winner
in
"figure skating"
Long ago
beautiful designs
were skated on clean ice.
Complex designs called figures
were judged
in Olympic events.
Eliminated from competition in 1990
I'm
enjoying the
"figure skating"
events
of the XXI Olympics
held in
Vancouver
The
costumes are much smaller
than those worn in 1908
when Madge Syers
was the first women's
Olympic figure skating champion.
sigh....
