Your analogy, though entertaining, is unsound for one simple reason: figureskating isn't a sport for real men. How can you with a straight face compare mongering to a sport that is almost exclusively dominated by woman and a few, balding men in open shirts and tights?. A more apt comparison might be with the sport of darts. One obvious similarity is that in darts, as in mongering, drinking alcohol and making sure your dart is both straight and sharp enough to stick makes for better and easier scores. Both sports are normally played in dark drinking establishments. In both sports special recognition is given to players who score bullseyes, etc.
