More than 130 skaters from all over the East and West Kootenays will arrive in Creston for the weekend, Jan. 20-22, hoping to carry off gold medals in men’s, ladies’, pairs, dance and skills events at the 2012 Kootenay Regional Figure Skating Championships.
For some, this will be the latest in a long line of skating competitions; for others, including five youngsters from the Creston Valley Figure Skating club, the regional championships will be their first competition ever.
“It’s a great opportunity for our local skaters,” says head coach Cassie Bloy. “I’m trying to encourage our skaters to enter as many events as they can because it’s a great feeling to skate on home ice.”
The schedule for the different events hasn’t been finalized yet but will probably be something like this: dance and skills competitions on the Friday evening; men’s, ladies’ and pairs programs all day Saturday; and, interpretive and elements competitions on Sunday morning.
The final schedule will be posted at crestonevents.cawhen it’s available.
The entire competition is open to the public and admission is free.
