“Great moments are born from great opportunities, and greater still from the vision to convert them into legacies.”
With immense pride, I share that our Indian Roller Skating Team has concluded this Asian Championship campaign by securing an unprecedented Third Position in the overall standings – a historic achievement that stands as a testament to years of meticulous planning, relentless training, and unshakable team spirit.

Gratitude to Our Pillars of Strength:
I would like to thank everyone, especially both Italian coaches and all Indian coaches, all parents, and all supporting staff who came with the Indian contingent. Special thanks to Naresh Sharma – the unstoppable force of Indian Skating – we went beyond our expectations to provide the best possible logistics, accommodation and food arrangements in this small town, working day and night to overcome numerous challenges.
I also thank the RSFI President for overseeing all arrangements minutely both before and after our arrival here, and for working with all updates on every matter.
The Road to 2027: Doubling Our Glory
As I thought and discussed with RSFI President, we must:
1. Treat these results as minimum benchmarks for 2027.
2. Begin immediate strategic planning.
3. Execute the planning perfectly by working as one unified skating family.
“What we do today echoes in eternity – and this is but the beginning.”
With profound gratitude and renewed determination,
