Figure skating first appeared in the Netherlands during the Middle Ages. Peter the Great introduced it, along with many other things, to our latitudes. It was formally recognized as a sport at the end of the previous century.

Figure skating has a lot of popularity nowadays, with millions of admirers from all over the world. Even people who dislike this attractive sport are aware of only a few masters. So, in 2014, Jason Brown, who did an Irish dance, rose to prominence on YouTube. It’s only that the US champion is a fan of the Riverdance production and chose to recreate the reel dance that has long inspired him.
