Some may say love is roses
and romance, a perfect place;
but I say love is more
like ice-dancing grace...

Your right leg and their left,
bonded together, a connection!
Keeping in step together,
you skate in the same direction.

If one falls, the other one
is there to give a lift;
having a partner hold you close
truly is a gift.

When one is doing well,
the other enjoys the ride -
together they share the victory
as they win it side by side.

Unity and staying strong
is the secret, know the wise;
gliding, flying, sweetly smiling,
they'll surely win the prize!

Figure Skating Places—The World Figure Skating Museum and Hall of Fame

Figure Skating Facts, history, and trivia about the people, places and personalities that makes figure skating so cool.

The World Figure Skating Museum and Hall of Fame is located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, in the headquarters of the U.S. Figure Skating Association. This not-for-profit educational institution features a myriad of items tracing the history of the sport, including more than 3,500 films and videos, about 20,000 photos, and some 1,500 books. Its extensive collection of figure skating artwork includes donations from Sweden's Gillis Grafstrom, a highly decorated skater in the 1920s. The museum also exhibits costumes, medals, and skates. Other highlights include competition records and a memorial to the U.S. skaters and coaches who died in a plane crash in 1961 on their way to the world championships.

A crowning achievement for competitors, coaches, and officials is election into the U.S. and/or World Figure Skating Hall of Fame. Each inductee is honored with a plaque and display showcasing his or her contribution to the sport. The World Figure Skating Museum and Hall of Fame is a must visit if you're in Colorado Springs during a major competition. You never know who you might see walking around.
