| Reason for choosing this sport | "A friend convinced me to do inline skating with him during one summer. At the end of the skating season I was convinced to give ice skating a go through the winter. Also, I really like the speed and the friendliness of everyone from world to club level. Furthermore, I like the different variations with training." |
