The encouraging cheers from the spectators spurred the skaters on. One by one they gained or lost in place. The first curve was passed, the second, and then the last was near. The spectators held their breath as the skaters whizzed by nearly abreast. They kept a steady pace. Nearer and nearer they came to the winning line.
