Where skaters are suspended (2,3)
I believe the answer is:
on ice
This clue is a double definition.
'where skaters are' is the first definition.
'suspended' is the second definition.
(to put something 'on ice' is to postpone it)
(Other definitions for on ice that I've seen before include "held back?" , "Where one might find slippers" , "Chilling; suspended" , "In abeyance" , "Temporarily suspended" .)
