Who is a "goalkeeper"?

A goalkeeper is a player in sports like soccer, hockey, or handball who is responsible for protecting their team's goal. Their main job is to stop the other team from scoring by blocking or catching the ball or puck when it is aimed at the goal. Goalkeepers stay close to the goal area and often use their hands or body to stop the ball or puck. They also help organize the defense and can kick or pass the ball to teammates to start an attack. A good goalkeeper needs quick reflexes, strong focus, and the ability to read the game.

Running shoes typically have a lightweight, breathable top part to keep feet cool and dry, while the sole is designed to absorb shock and reduce impact on the joints.

What is an "ice skate"?

An ice skate is a type of footwear designed for use on ice, typically used for ice skating or ice hockey. The skate consists of a boot or shoe with a blade attached to the bottom, made of hardened steel and sharpened to a fine edge. The blade has a curved shape, allowing the skater to glide smoothly over the ice and perform a variety of movements, including turns, jumps, and spins. Ice skates come in a variety of styles and designs, ranging from traditional figure skates with a high boot and toe pick for jumps, to hockey skates with a low boot and angled blade for agility and speed. The fit of an ice skate is critical, as a properly fitting skate can enhance the skater's performance and prevent injuries, while an ill-fitting skate can cause discomfort and compromise control on the ice.
