Ice Skate

The ice skate have been invented in Finland around 3000 B.C.E.
As many ancient models have been found around Scandinavia and Russia the scientists were not sure where the skate originated. A news emerged in 2008 that people living in southern Finland benefited the most from ice skate on crude blades. Finland is known as 'The land of thousand lakes'. It is a cold land so each winter thousands of frozen lake reported a problem of transportation for the people.
The first skates consists of leg bones of large animals. At the end of the bones holes were drilled off and strips of leather were used to tie the skates to the feet. As we need thin poles to propel ourselves, it was only in the fourteenth-century Holland that the poles were used with. The evolution of skates has passed through many changes such as metal attached to wood, metal attached to metal but the fundamental fact is that our balances is the most efficient thing that enables us to glide smoothly and effortlessly.
