A Little Body English is Secret to Lawn Bowling Success The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, July 29,1992 9 inasftr rw , -LU Æ. SCOREBOARD Newcastle Girls' Slo Pitch as of July 24 by Brad Kelly The Schmidt-Hansen family, of Kendal, has begun a tradition of roller skating excellence. Their string of championships began with daughter Cina, who took Provincial and National honours in both 1986 and *89. In between Gina's titles was mother Maryanne, who was the provincial provincial figures champion in 1988. To complete the trio, daughter Pia is the latest reigning champion. The 15-year-old skating sensation sensation won the provincial title at Etobicoke Etobicoke in mid-May, and followed that up by capturing the Canadian National National Freestyle Championship in Burlington. This victory came despite the fact that she was not skating her best performance. "I thought- my performance at the provincial championships was better," she said. mrnmmmSMI » , ^ was the third trip totheNation- Thts lawn bowler tries desperately to put the breaks on a shot during the final rounds of the lawn fi C c h i m ^li 0 » n u hips m , as , ma " y years bowling tournament at the Wilmot Creek Summer Games. The games opened on Saturday, July 18 with a flag raising and parade, and came to a close on Sunday with the closing ceremonies, which were fol- and fourth ïc'e finîsh lowed by a wine and cheese party for all the competitors. Respectable. But not the type of results she knew she was capable of. : This year, she bested nine other competitors in her division which required skaters to perform a two- minute short program and a three- and-a-half-minute long program. Skating competitively since the age of nine, one might say that after seven years of long practices and ,countless competitions, the title of National Champion is a deserving one. But it wasn't a pair of roller skates that the grade 11 student at Clarke High School first slipped onto her feet. No, figure skating was her first priority in the early years. Not for long, though. "I started off in figure skating, but it got too cold," she recalled. After living in the Bahamas prior to moving to Canada, it's understandable understandable why she would lose interest in skating in cold arenas and opt for the climate controlled indoor facilities facilities used for roller skating. She is now at a point in her career career where she trains three times a week in Whitby, and three more in Burlington. Her coaches in Burlington, Burlington, Dean and Sherri Bint, are both former National Champions who have competed at the Worlds. '-The sport of competitive roller skating has remained in relative obscurity, obscurity, but that may change in the next decade. At this year's Olympics Olympics in Barcelona, Spain, roller skating skating is a demonstration sport. And, if it were up to Schmidt-Hansen, she would recommend that the International International Olympic Association grant it full status and make it a medal sport. "I think so," she said when asked if roller skating should be included included in the Olympics. "Figure skating is and this is the same thing." In fact, she added, performing jumps is harder in roller skating than in figure skating. As for her future in the sport, there is always next year's Nationals, Nationals, maybe a trip to the Worlds in a couple of years, and who knows, maybe a spot on an Olympic team. For now, she hopes to stay involved involved for as long as she can. "When I finish high school and go to university (finding time to train) might pose a problem," she said. "Just going to the worlds some day would be satisfactory enough." Considering the competitive appetite appetite of this teenager, one suspects that just an appearance at the World Championships wouldn't suffice. A gold medal and the recognition of being the best in the world would be the kind of note on which to end her successful career.
