Inline speed skaters will be competing in the British Indoor Championships
this weekend at Sheffield’s Skate Central.

The Federation of Inline Speed Skaters (FISS) will be holding this annual event on Sunday 30th March. Races start at 12 noon with under 12s girls and boys and progress through the day with Juniors (16/17), Seniors and Veterans for both men and women. Spectators are welcome and there will be a chance for potential speed skaters to try for themselves during a break in the races from 2:00 to 3:00pm. The day will finish with inter club relay races and presentations. This event marks the end of the winter, indoor, season.

Inline speed skating is a fast and exhilarating sport where the skaters compete over various distances (laps) around an oval track with juniors and seniors achieving speeds of over 30mph. The latest speed skate technology gives the inline speed skater the ability to skate at very much the same pace as ice speed skaters, and their tight fitting lycra skin suits, in club colours, make every fraction of a second count in close exciting races.

Most of the speed skaters’ equipment is developed and made in Europe where inline speed skating is a popular sport for all ages. Speed skating races on road and track are weekly occurrences in many European towns and villages. In Holland and the Scandinavian countries skaters alternate between ice speed in the winter and inline speed in the summer. Whereas the warmer countries like Spain and Italy produce some of the strongest inline contestants. Some of the fastest world class skaters come from South America and Australia where inline speed skating is also a major sport.
