Lincoln, Nebraska may seem a world away from Hudson, Massachusetts, but right now there is a commonality between the two cities. Lincoln, is currently hosting the 2014 Roller Figure Skating National Championships. This national artistic skating competition was highly anticipated as artistic skaters from Roller Kingdom hosted the Memorial Day Invitational for the Northeast Region of USA Roller Sports. The commonality is not only in the fact that Hudson Roller Kingdom and Lincoln have played roles as host of these events, but in the fact that some of our very own Roller Kingdom skaters have skated in both artistic skating events. In fact, part of our team is at nationals right now as the event is scheduled from July 20-August 2.
What is Artistic Skate?
Take a look at the Roller Kingdom Hudson Skating Club site and you’ll find that artistic skating is full of, “The elegance of a dancer, the control of a gymnast, the charisma of an actor…” Our skaters could not agree more as they work their hearts out to capture that elegance, control, and charisma that can only be combined on wheels in artistic skating.
