2013-2014 Team France. CHECK!

Wow. I made it, I'm in! I'm part of the selection for the new French Team, with 39 other players... and the list is quite mouthwatering: Imagine a silver plate with 80 SPORTY FROG LEGS. Yummy!

The suspense was broken in the weekend for the lucky chosen skaters, who were personally contacted by the coaching team to confirm their availability and motivation. Names were added to the list one by one and the team fleshed out before our very eyes.

The list was revealed once all the concerned people had given their answers, as intended and announced, on Tuesday Sept. 3 at 11PM on the dot.

It was then not much of a surprise, but at last we could burst out in joy publicly -- by publicly I mean: through facebook statuses, it goes without saying.

Paris Slalom World Cup 2013

This year was the 11th edition of the PSWC, a mythical international competition of freestyle slalom skating which takes place every year on the Trocadéro, facing the Eiffel Tower!

I haven't missed a single edition since 2007. As a skater at first, then as a judge the last couple of years. Even last year while I was convalescing I came to say hi (as a spectator, but still I was there).

This time my mission was to judge the Classic Freestyle and the Battle. For both men's and women's categories. It was a heavy task:

80 classic runs and 34 battle groups later...

I survived the PSWC 2013!

Meanwhile, when I was not judging (speed slalom and slides) I was not twiddling my thumbs either. All my fingers were busy working, typing reports of the competition!

YES YOU CAN!

...pre-order the 2013 Calendar on the Paris RollerGirls' Website!



The project was run by High Wheels (A.D.) and Crapule (photographer, who shot our roster-faces last year) and had already met a great success for last year's edition. It was sold out in no time. Now that 2012 is over, all the shots are viewable on our facebook fanpage.

If that is not enough to convince you, check out the 2013 teasers made by Mouflette.
