From what I saw and found out from the internet that the earliest photo of a female skater wearing the tights over the skates was in 1966. I think that skater goes by the name of Anna Galmarini. But then again,I could be wrong. Another skater during that time period was Jinx Clark Could you tell me who was the first skater to wear fishnets over her skates during the ice shows?Kalonji Riversnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1607293215863249359.post-10718973022944445992008-06-25T01:06:00.000-04:002008-06-25T01:06:00.000-04:00So Funny.

I found myself laughing out loud at the wood skate holders (I can't even remember what they were called) and the part about your scribe flying across the ice in the middle of an "Oh so quiet" patch session. I truly miss those times. <BR/><BR/>I have had beige skates now for years (like 20 )and just this past week went back to white. Can you believe it ..white? I still have my old tan skates for teaching but have started to work on passing my MIF tests with a goal of passing senior in 2 years (I'll be 40 then). So frankly, my new skates are only for skating and I wanted to save the extra $85 to have them ordered tan. $85 !! for tan :)<BR/><BR/>I forgot about polishing your own skates before every competition, so that you ended up with layers and layers of polish. Now they just have the tights that go over the skates and hide all the marks. The skaters today don't know how good they have it.<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for the good laugh and the trip down memory lane.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1607293215863249359.post-68459747858003941412008-06-02T20:34:00.000-04:002008-06-02T20:34:00.000-04:00Isn't that something?
