Vintage Skating Styles

INSPIRATION 2014 #38: Interesting to take a look back at the styles worn by skaters at previous Olympic games ~ most of these are from either the 1924 or 1936 winter games. Black and white photography adds to the elegance of the photos ~ even though some of these outfits are rather bulky, I can't say I prefer most of the rhinestone and glitter covered costumes of current day skaters. 

Take a look at the last image ~ apparently, this is how scoring was done back in the day!
