Skating Federation Plans First Ever Motorsport Raceway Skating Competition

The Roller Sports Federation of Nigeria (RSFN) unveiled its motive to hold a first-ever Motorsport Raceway Skating Championship competition in Benin, Edo. According to The federation’s Chairman, Technical Committee, Kings Kedron who made the announcement on Sunday in Lagos, the competition is scheduled to hold between the months of April and May. The maiden edition of the championship is open for all skaters in the country, as the organization aims at scouting and recruiting top performers at the competition to represent the body in future engagements. “The competition will be held in Benin in April or May and will feature skaters throughout the federation, including Abuja. The competition will have three disciplines, Speed Skating, Aggressive Skating and Slalom Skating. It will, however, be for the male category only,” Kedron said. “The competition has been endorsed by Motor Sport Race and the participants will undergo trials in their respective states,” he continued. “Skating is a toast of many youths now and we want to ensure a good background for grassroots developments.” “The competition will afford us the opportunity of assessing our skaters throughout the federation to see those that are outstanding in their performances.” We need to assemble some of the strong skaters throughout the federation for our future engagements; they will be the ones to form the national team,’’ he added.
