SKATER OF THE YEAR: Roberto Riva - Italia
2002/03/04 World Champion: Roberto Riva of Italy. 
Roberto is our 'Skater Of The Year.. Salute!!
Roberto Riva - in looking at his past achievements over four years - this award is warranted alone. But to cap it off, Roberto made his stunning debut on to the world scene at the 2002 World meet, winning no less that THREE GOLD MEDALS in the three events he entered. 
Champions like Riva are rare, an equaled skill in both artistry and technical ability - combined with the mastering of the figures, Riva is a true great of Roller Sports. Riva's achievement in 2002 has never before been achieved at a world meet on a debut performance, this only having been done by Italy's Chiara Satori in 1985, in which she went on to do three years successively.
2003 presents new challenges for Riva, although his year is off to a good start with a triumphant win at the recent German Cup. Riva is an outstanding talent and will continue to bring the sport to new heights, together with the brilliance of his trainer, Michele Terruzzi, together they will conquer the world. Congratulations Roberto - you are the 'S K A T E R   O F   T H E   Y E A R'
