THE OLYMPIC CONNECTION
Inline Speed Skating was one of the sports reviewed by the International
Olympic Committee (IOC) to be included in the 2012 Olympic Games. Although our
bid fell short,
USARS
is constantly making every effort to join the Olympic
program and has high hopes for inclusion into the 2016 Olympic platform.
Chad Hedrick
who won bronze, silver, and gold at the 2006 Olympic Winter Games
started his career in inline speed skating, winning 50 World Championship
titles. Joey Cheek and Apolo Ohno each brought home at least two medals from
the 2006 Winter Games, including Olympic Gold. There were eleven former inline
speed skaters that were Olympians in the 2006 Winter Games in Torino, Italy
that started their successful careers with roller sports. Also, Tara Lapinski,
a former roller figure skater, captured the coveted Olympic Gold at the 1998
Winter Olympics.
