| Sabatino Aracu is the New President of FIRS |
|
Here are 10 photos of the newly elected president of
the International Roller Sports Federation. I took these
pictures at the dramatic FIRS Congress in November

skaters hope he will help us finally get at least one
roller sport into the Olympic Games. Valerie Leftwich
of Australia, who was featured in my newsletter last
week, was elected as 1st Vice President of FIRS by
a large margin.
