Golden Gate Skate: Figure skating competition


The Olympics might be over, but swirling figures on ice are still dancing in the dreams of the young would-be Kim Yu-Nas and Evan Lysaceks of the world.

For those who can't get enough, the 10th annual Golden Gate Skate at the Yerba Buena Ice Skating Center is a good way to see competitive skating.

With competitors ranging from tots in the under-6-years-old category to adults in the over-60 bracket, it's a little less rigorous than the world championships, but a great demonstration of just how wide the appeal of figure skating can be.
