Veronica in gold at the European championship (September)

It is always a special feeling when you race well at home. Veronica Luciani had that privilege in September when she participated in the European championship in L’Aquila with the Italian selection. She won two titles: the 1000m and the 3000m relay both on track. The two time European champion won her ticket to the World Skate Games of October-November in Buenos Aires (Argentina) with the Azzurro selection.

 

Top 20s at the Berlin Marathon (September 25, 2022)

It is the biggest event of the season, with more than 5000 participants. The path is the same as the famous running Berlin Marathon. Again, the Rollerblade® crew gathered in the German capital, with some fitness and recreational skaters who also race and had a lot of fun. The entire Rollerblade® Speed Team was there as well. Alicia Delhommais and Veronica Luciani had to wait until the final sprint to find an opportunity to push for the podium, but they couldn’t get through the pack quite fast enough. Alicia finished 15th and she had the fitness and fortitude to tackle the running marathon the day after. In the men’s race, the best result was caught by Patxi Peula who finished 13th.  Doucelin Pédicone took the 19th place. Rafale Heredia, Matteo Barison, Severin Widmer and Nicolas Iten served their teammates well during this event.

 

Doucelin takes bronze at the World Skate Games

The World Skate Games are considered the Olympic Games for the skate sports, like artistic, rink hockey, roller hockey, inline downhill, skate board, and scooter. Inline speed skating was one of the sports scheduled, with competitions on the track, a road circuit, and a marathon in the streets of Buenos Aires. Doucelin Pédicone captured the bronze medal in the elimination race on track after he did a perfect lead-out for his French teammate Martin Ferrié. Veronica Luciani also participated in the World Skate Games with the Italian selection.

 

From Europe to South America, on the track and on the road, short distances and marathons, the Rollerblade® Speed Team had a exceptional race seaion in 2022. We want to thank Veronica Luciani, Alicia Delhommais, Doucelin Pédicone, Matteo Barison, Quentin Giraudeau, and also Aura Quintana, Patxi Peula, Rafael Heredia, Marcos Vicos Deus, Severin Widmer and Nicolas Iten for giving their best and taking victories and podiums in 2022.
