The Otago Southland Ice Figure Skating Championships were held in Gore on Saturday.
About 40 skaters ranging in ability from Kiwiskate under-12 to adults took part in the competition.
Icesport Southland president Robyn Morris said it was the first time some of the younger skaters had competed.
"It’s a great opportunity for many of our new skaters to participate in a competition in their own rank."
The Ensign reporter Sandy Eggleston was there with her camera.
