How exciting that the 2015 US Figure Skating Championships will be held in Greensboro the week of January 18-25, 2015. That is just one year from now; the Coliseum Complex will be filled with skaters and spectators. The event was held here in 2011 and feedback was favorable and the event was well attended. What a great place to generate interest at Winterfest in Festival Park downtown!
The woman leading the pack in the above photo appears to be texting and skating. She must be pretty confident on the ice. Now that the temperatures are inching back up and we are out of the single digits, you might want to consider skating while the rink is still installed. It is such a fabulous winter sport and such a great family activity for Greensboro. Ice skating is also a nice activity to generate interest in children for the Winter Olympics. Here is the schedule for the 2014 Winter Olympics which begin in Sochi on February 7th. We hope some of the children who have been skating locally have a chance to watch figure skaters at the Olympics.
