Rollerblade Competition: speed and figure slalom
(November 2001, Moscow)

On November 2001, a speed and figure slalom competition in Moscow was held. The event was organised by National Rollerblade team (its members were also arbiters).

In this event, a majority of the best Russian skaters (from Moscow and St.-Petersburg) were participants. There were 2 slalom disciplines: speed and figure (Note: in Russia we often use the 'artistic inline slalom' term).

The slalom contest was held in the biggest Roller Centre in Moscow dubbed Lochstream. Here you can find several floors with different skating facilities (both for aggressive and fitness skating).

For both slalom styles a cone distance of 1 m was used. All riders had two runs: backward and forward. In figure slalom, there were also 2 runs of 1 minute long. While defining notes, element complexity and style were considered.

In tables below, you can find results for both disciplines:
