British Indoor Inline Speed Skating Championships

Skate Central, Queens Road, Sheffield

Sunday, 30 March 2008

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.

World Inline Speed Skating Championship 2007

The Great Britain speed skating team leave for the World Championships
in Cali, Colombia, on the 10th August.

The five man team consists of Christopher Stafford, Vincent Henry and Gavin Pollock
who will skate both the track and road events and
Hans Brown and Simon Davis who will be added to the team for the marathon.

The World Championships starts on the 17th August and run through to the 25th August,
which means we have seven days to acclimatize and recover after our twenty hour flight.

Whilst three of our skaters are nursing injuries following falls in the European Championships last week,
we are confident they will be fully recovered before we arrive in Colombia and
can finish their preparation on the new track and road facility that has been built in Cali
especially for these World Championships.

More information on the World Championships
and all results can be found on the official website www.cali2007rollersport.com

It looks as if Video TV will be available from Cali!
