As an ex competitive gymnast of 11 years, of course I say GYMNASTICS! However, you may find that ice skating is more along the lines of the dancing you've done already so it may be an easier transition for you. I'm not sure about skating, but starting gymnastics at the age you are now is probably not going to be very easy. It's best to start under the age of 10, really. The younger the better. Perhaps you should take lessons in both to start and see which one wins your heart!
Either way, have fun! : )

You're still young, you could probably do either! If I were you I would sample them both out, try a Gymnastics class and see what you think, and have a go on ice skates and see if you enjoy it! Gymnastics is obviously going to keep you fit and flexible - its a dangerous sport but if you pick a good class you should be okay! And figure skating I imagine would be pretty dangerous too if you got into tricks and stunts - but professionally is very glamourous.
I'm personally 19 and just started Gymnastics - its great fun even though I wished I started when I was younger as I find some of the things harder now I am bigger and heavier! lol. But its good fun and keeps you fit too!
Hope this helps.

i say gymnastics. I'm a dancer also and if your planning on moving to either gymnastics or figure skating i would haft to defiantly say gymnastics. They both look fun and you can get hurt pretty bad from both. If you want to stay flexible then gymnastics will def. help that and make you improve alot more with your flexibility... maybe competition cheer-leading is something you would like. its a mix of both dancing and tumbling and is somthing good to start around your age.
hope i helped. good luck.

Gymnastics. But, it will be really hard to start doing gymnastics at 14 years old. I started when I was 3, and I stopped when I was 14. It gets really hard as you get older. But, it is a lot of fun. One of the most physically demanding sports out there. It's not easy.

I would say figure skating is more fun, however depending on what gymnastic things you will be doing, it could be less safe.

I used to do figure skating and it was awesome!!! To me it's a lot better than gymnastics because I'm just not flexible.

OMG! gymnastics all the way!!!
gymnastics makes you super flexible and you can learn cool flips fast. [depending on how many times you go].
figure skating is really cool too but it takes more dedication and effort. i think thats more painful. i know people that have fallen and slit their wrists with the blades. gymnastics only leads to sprained ankles if you dont follow up. go for gymnastics!! its somuch fun! and if you want to show off your flips to your friends, you dont need to bring along the ice!!
lol...
well, good luck!

Although for different reasons (almost too numerous to list) I will say Figure Skating. The grace that the men and women exhibit is astounding and it has arguably the highest visibility level (smallest outfits, more skin) of ANY of the Olympic sports

gymnastics would be more fun. It is like Dancing except you get to do more extreme stuff!
2008-02-16 09:21:11 UTC
I prefer figure skating ! I love watching it ! It's perfect ! And it's closer to a dancer , don't you think ?

i would say gymnastics. i believe it is better than having to practice all the time in the cold.
2008-02-16 09:20:59 UTC
Figure skating.
Its more original, more interesting to watch and looks a lot more impressive.
Would be the most fun, but not necessarily the safest.
Would impress all your mates though!

Skating is cool its graceful/peaceful
gymnastics has me like wow did you see that
