NEWS & NOTESAdult Skaters Make Mile-High Memories in Colorado!
Adult skaters from nine states (California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Oregon and Texas) gathered to compete and make mile-high memories at the 2022 ISI Adult Championships, Oct. 8-9 at South Suburban Sports Complex in Littleton, Colo.
South Suburban Sports Complex — Overall Team Champion
As Overall Team Champion, with 450 points, the host rink (South Suburban Sports Complex) captured the Erika Amundsen Trophy.
SASS FSC of Chicago earned 2nd place, with 234 points, and Florida-based Ellenton Ice & Sports Complex finished in 3rd place, with 76.5 points.
“I am a newly returning adult figure skater and this was my first year participating in ISI Nationals [Adult Championships],” wrote Allison English of Chicago-based SASS FSC in an email to ISI Skating Programs & Events Director Kim Hansen. “I want to reach out and thank you for hosting such an uplifting, fun and well-organized event. I was really nervous to come and compete. I felt like I wasn’t good enough to be in a big competition (I’m a former child USFS skater). Nothing could have been farther from the truth!
“Thank you for putting together such an age-, gender-, skill- and event-diverse competition. I loved watching everything from Light Entertainment to Ribbon and Hoop programs right alongside the short and long programs of everyone. I come home feeling really inspired that there is so much more room for me to grow within ISI and the events you offer. The host venue was extremely helpful and organized. The events I participated in were very well run. I met so many skaters and coaches and had such a fun time!”
