Winter with vengeance - ice sports order of the day at Wimbledon. London.
Women dressed in winter coats; hats; scarves; sitting in a row on edge of rink; lacing and tying their ice skates. Men skating about on rink in a park with bare trees in BG. A man & woman skate together; very gracefully; turning around and around as they pass by a row of people watching them. A man and woman help a little girl to stay standing up; each on one side of her.
Then a shot of a soldier and sailor skating in a pair; with crossed arms. Curling. A man crouches down and slides the stone with handle across ice; he lands sitting down spread-legged on the ice; but gets right back up; another man; in knickers; watching in BG. Then; 2 guys holding brooms watch as a stone slides toward them; past some other stones on the ice; one of them is using broom on the ice by the moving stone; but not touching stone itself. Unusual sports. A game for cold weather climates.
