Rejected petition Classify Ice Skating as a Recognised Sport & allow Ice Rinks to Re-Open

A 5-year-old little girl had a dream and fell in love with the ice, nearly 20 years later she is still training 5/6 days a week alongside hundreds of other athletes, waking up a 5am, putting their blood, sweat and tears into this sport, week in and week out - They don’t give up.

More details

They do not just train on the ice, they have a whole team behind them; from strength and conditioning to flexibility classes - yet they still can't be classed as a sport!
This is not a leisurely activity, please help them get back on the ice and get the recognition the sport deserves!
