A Historic Triumph Concluded – Team India Returns Home with Pride.

“Victories achieved together taste sweeter, and histories written together shine brighter.”

It is with immense joy and pride that I share how our Indian Roller Skating Team has scripted the most successful foreign campaign in our nation’s skating history at the Asian Championships. With the tournament now officially concluded, I am delighted to report that we have secured an outstanding third position in the overall standings – a testament to our collective spirit and relentless determination.

The Power of Positive Energy
Our unprecedented medal haul and exceptional performances were fueled by the extraordinary positive atmosphere that enveloped our contingent. Where positive energy flows, everything aligns favorably – and this championship proved that truth beyond doubt.

One Family, One Mission
Throughout this journey, I have been blessed to experience what can only be described as a profound family bond:
– From Roller Derby’s Mr. Sandeep Bhatnagar and his team
– in Roller Inline Hockey’s Harpreet Singh to Mr. Nicola De Stefano and Mr. Marzella Pino , Praveen Kaur and Milan Preet to Rajesh Anand
– in Speed’s Shripad Shinde to legendary Mr. Guilio Ravasi & PK Singh
– in Artistic’s to Satyam and Adesh Singh and Pradeepk Malvayi

Each member worked with such dedication that it felt less like an official assignment and more like serving one’s own family. Every task, no matter how challenging, was approached with personal commitment and wholehearted effort.

Overcoming Challenges with Indian Spirit
Against all odds in this small town with limited infrastructure:
✓ Managed accommodation across 5 different hotels
✓ Maintained centralized kitchen operations
✓ Ensured timely, nutritious meals for all
✓ Coordinated seamless transportation
✓ Created a true “home away from home”

This remarkable organization embodied our ancient wisdom of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” – the world as one family.

Heroes’ Welcome in Delhi
All members of the Indian team have safely landed in Delhi, where they were greeted with:
– Traditional drums and floral welcomes
– Sweet celebrations marking our historic victory
– Presence of print and electronic media
– Government department officials

90% of our team members have already reached their final destinations, carrying with them the pride of this monumental achievement.

Gratitude Beyond Measure
This historic success stands on the shoulders of:
– Our visionary RSFI President whose leadership made this possible
– The entire Executive Committee for their unwavering support

As you all know, Indian roller skating has an unstoppable force—a name so well-known that it needs no introduction. From the very beginning until the team’s return to India, the relentless 24×7 effort he has put in is beyond what words can express.
Our collective support , solidarity and blessing have always been with him, and continue to be. Yet, words fall short to truly convey our gratitude for his dedication and hard work. Let’s celebrate his unwavering commitment to the sport
Looking Ahead
Soon I will share a comprehensive championship report. For now, please find attached:

With deepest gratitude and warm regards,
