Future Plans: World Inclusive Skating Virtual and Venue Championships

In future Virtual Events will compliment Venue Events. Virtual Championship events will continue as they meet the needs of Inclusive Skaters who find it difficult to travel or who experience difficulty participating in Venue Events. Virtual Events are fun for everyone, promote inclusion, provide additional competition opportunities and are now an established part of the Inclusive Skating format.
