It's
unlike any other skating contest in the world..
|
|
Athletes,
trainers, managers: the world of roller figure skating is composed
by people engaged to pursue a dream, a performance; people who don't
follow a flag, a team or a sponsor, but applaud the quality of the
athletic performance. The athlete who gains the perfect performance
can belong to every nation, he becomes at once the favorite one for
all. These are the values which have inspired and guided those who
have created the World Cup. OK, but.....who has created the World Cup?
The right answer is: The roller skating lovers.
