Subject field(s)
  • Skating
CONT

French

Domaine(s)
  • Patinage
CONT

La différence est notoire avec de vraies housses; même par un froid sibérien, les pieds ne seront pas complètement gelés. Le port de ces housses n'est peut-être pas des plus élégants, mais un patineur se voit obligé de sacrifier quelque peu l'élégance s'il veut pouvoir se concentrer sur ce qu'il fait, ce qui est impossible lorsqu'on a les pieds gelés.

CONT

Ces housses se font en laine blanche ou en fibre acrylique.

OBS

Patinage artistique.
