- Summary
- NoS synopsis: "We’ve all heard of "getting your sea legs" - now that the first touch of winter has reached the higher parts of Central Europe, Eve’s busy getting her skating legs." M/S of a woman ice skating in a fetching fur trimmed outfit. "Whirls and glides, all so graceful and easy to look at - (But not to do!)". Various shots of whirls, glides, spins, turns etc. "And not even night can stop the sport". Another woman performs for the camera, then a couple. This seems to be a competition as some of the skaters wear numbers pinned to their clothes. It is an outdoor rink and spectators stand on a bridge so is perhaps a frozen river. We then see a skating couple at night - they each hold a flare so we see them in silhouette.
