    Extractions: Dear friends, The I.O.C. Session in Singapore was a real important step for us, we knew exactly how difficult it would have been for us to set up a valuable candidature and a presentation of our sport in such a short time, yet it was utterly important to be visible, and not to miss this uncomparable chance. We knew we had to put together a team in power of bringing roller sports up to becoming an olympic sport. The new criteria implemented by the I.O.C. at Singapore pushed the I.O.C. itself to a self criticism, it was in fact not one but two sports dropping the olympic programme, and this is giving us a strong sign. From now on judgement shall come on the work carried out: the time for granted rights is over. Comte Jacques Rogge, The I.O.C. President himself, (as you can see from the attached letter), underlines - just a few days away from the Session - that the match is not over, our sport shall be once again evaluated in the I.O.C. Session determining the 2016 Olympic programme.

    Extractions: Inline speed skaters Inline speed skating is the sport of racing on inline skates . It is often called inline racing by participants. Although it primarily evolved from racing on "quad" roller skates , the sport is similar enough to ice speed skating that many competitors are now known to switch between inline and ice speed skating according to the season. edit An inline speed skate is a specialized version of the inline skate. The boot or shoe is close-fitting, without padding and made of leather and/or carbon composites . For best performance the boot must conform closely to the shape of the foot, so most inline speed skating boots are heat-moldable so that the user may to some extent re-shape them. The frame (sometimes called the chassis or plate) which holds the wheels is made of aircraft-quality aluminum and usually mounts five polyurethane wheels of between 78 mm and 88 mm diameter. Although clap skate frames similar to those used in long track ice speed skating have been designed for inline racing, they have so far not proven so superior to the normal fixed frame that many inline racers switched to and continued to use them. Instead, beginning in about

    Extractions: Olympic Inclusion: Roller Sports Gets Mixed Review in Olympic Sports Report Report Cites Low Worldwide Distribution; Lack of Coordination With "TV-Friendly" Teen Skating By Robert "Just the Factoids" Burnson The Olympic Programme Commission gave roller sports a mixed review in its report of the 28 current and five prospective sports for the 2012 Summer Games. The report, released today by the International Olympic Committee, cites roller sports' relatively low worldwide reach, small media draw and small revenues. It also notes that "teenage skating activities" by which it means aggressive skating or skateboarding "are outside the control of" roller sports' governing body. Another Sports Also Get Dinged But while the report notes the sports' shortcomings, it also points out problems with the other four Olympic contenders: golf, karate, rugby and squash. It notes that some of the best golfers in the world might choose to skip the Olympics. Why? Because the Olympics would interfere with their lucrative PGA tour.

Roller Sports Proposes a Short Program of Outdoor Speed Skating By Robert "The Train's in the Station" Burnson In the hopes of winning a berth in the 2012 Olympics, roller sports officials have submitted a bare-bones, budget-minded proposal that includes a quick two days of competition and only one of the roller disciplines speed skating. The International Roller Sports Federation submitted the proposal to the International Olympic Committee late last year. The proposal calls for an abbreviated version of the closed-circuit road racing portion of the annual Inline World Championships. Four Events Included are four events: a 300 meter time trial, a 500 meter sprint, a 5 kilometer race, and a 20 kilometer elimination. (More about these later.) All the races would be skated on an outdoor loop 400 and 600 meters around.

Water Ski Roller Sports: Artistic, Inline Hockey, Speed, Roller Hockey No one is really sure when the first roller skates were used. It is likely that the first roller skates were an adaptation of ice skates and were used for transportation rather than sport. The first recognized inventor of roller skates was a Belgian manufacturer named Joseph Merlin. He produced the first roller skates with metal wheels in 1760. The first time roller skates were 'successfully' seen in public was in 1849, when Frenchman Louis Legrange used roller skates to simulate ice skating in a play. In the mid 1800s, a number of other inventors took up the idea and many different types of skates were produced. All, however, suffered the same problems Merlin's skates had: the inability to be effectively controlled or stopped. New Yorker James Plimpton solved the problem of controlling skates in 1863. Plimpton's skates used a rubber cushion to anchor the axles. This cushion would compress when the body was leaned, enabling the wheels of the skate to turn slightly when the skater shifted his or her weight. Plimpton's design is considered the basis for the modern roller skate. Plimpton opened a number of rinks across America and Europe. He envisioned roller skating as a pastime for the rich alone, but soon after his patents expired, cheaper imitations flooded the market and skating became popular with all classes. Artistic skating is a widely practiced sport which demands a careful balance of strength, precision and artistry. Today this discipline is performed on in-line skates as well.
