Aspen will represent NZ at the Oceania's Artistic Champs in Melbourne

We are very excited to officially announce that Aspen Fell has been selected by international judges, at the Artistic Roller Skating Championships in New Plymouth over the holidays to represent New Zealand at the Oceanias Artistic Championships 2019, held in Melbourne in October.

Aspen, who skates for Manawatu Artistic Roller Skating Club, will be competing in the Junior International Dance section and will be doing two routines, a Free Dance and a Style dance.

Aspen has worked tirelessly to meet the criteria, deciding to go from a National grade to a much more competitive International Dance grade, four grades higher since competing last year. In addition, Aspen has achieved 6 dance medal tests, five of which have been achieved in the last 15 months, which we believe is a record within itself. We are unaware of any other artistic roller skater within New Zealand, who has accelerated to this international level, over less than a two year period.

Fantastic work Aspen, what an achievement!!
