A contingent of Canadian skaters recently travelled to Asunción, Paraguay to compete in the World Skate Games. This semi-annual event attracts the top level skaters from several inline and roller skating, skateboarding, and scootering disciplines and serve as the years’ World Championships.
Notable results include Amie Wapple who managed to secure a 6th place finish in the Women’s final in the Roller Freestyle Vert! Nicolas Meija, who participates in several skating disciplines, including speed (racing) and skate cross (like on a BMX track) became World Champion in the downhill mass-start! Even though Nicolas Meija was representing is home country of Colombia, he lives and has been deeply involved in local racing clubs, including VRL Le Club, in the Montreal area!
