Sorry if this a dumb question. I am a fairly new skating fan. But how do skaters support themselves, I assume to be able to be considered an elite skater one has to train many hours a day and with that it is hard to have a regular job. With the bad economy it will be difficult for most parents to afford skating. Do federations help promising skaters with the cost? And how do sponsors help you financially?
