Diogo Marreiros was voted most valuable skater of this year’s Flanders Grand Prix. He won the 1000 meter, the pointsrace and the road race. That gave him the overall win of the Flanders Grand Prix and the first place in the long distance ranking for the European Cup. We talked to him after the road race…
Traditionally during the Flanders Grand Prix the Cadet Challenge was held: the unoffical European Championship for Cadets. The short distance ranking was made up after the 300 meter and 500 meter. For the long distance ranking the skaters did a 5000 meter elimination race and a 3000 meter points race.
During the World Championships in Heerde and Arnhem the stands were filed every day with a big group of German fans. They were all wearing German inline shirts and a lot of hats and flags in black/red/yellow. We talked to two young skaters from the group to find out more…
This weekend were the trials for the Worlds in Colombia. This means that all the skaters from Colombia who were in Heerde did not even make it to those trials. One of them is Steven Villegas, with a time of 24.38 he won the 300 meter and in the 500 meter final he managed to beat everybody again. Also he’s the current junior world champion 500 meter. How come he’s not in Colombia right now?

At the European Cups we’re used to seeing skaters from the Czech Republic. But most of them come from Prague or Benatky. In Groß-Gerau an unfamiliar team from the Czech Republic pitched their tent. Half of the team dressed in Zebra striped outfits and the other half wearing suits in the Dutch color orange. We were curious to find out more about these skaters…
