This week's newsletter includes a link to the new FIRS
Web site, which has an important announcement from

speed skating being included in the 2012 Olympic
Games.
Also included are articles about the National Skate
Patrol, a really great product for preventing blisters and

Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States?
