Roller Skating: Competitors are tops on wheels
BY MIKE PATTERSON
WORLD-HERALD STAFF WRITER
While a hockey team has abandoned the Civic Auditorium, a much larger group of skaters will be rolling in Sunday.
That's when the USA Roller Sports National Championships will begin its 22-day run at the arena. The event comes just a few months after the Omaha Ak-Sar-Ben Knights announced that the franchise would be relocating to the Quad Cities.
"We're excited about coming to Omaha," USA Roller Sports spokesman Brock Kuester said. "It's a big event and one that we hope people will come out to see."
The competition will be split into two parts. The speed skating portion will be Sunday through July 21, and the figure skating events will be July 22 to Aug. 5.

City athletes Pan-Am bound
By: David Winer
July 6, 2007 - Several Mississaugans hope the number 13 will bring them good luck later this month in South America.
Thirteen city athletes are among 470 members of the Canadian team that will compete at the XV Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from July 13 to 29.
The Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) officially announced the team, which also features 272 coaches, team leaders and support team members, on Friday.
Mississaugans are well represented across the board in many of the 33 sports being contested among the 5,500 athletes representing 42 countries from North, South and Central America and the Caribbean.
The most experienced and decorated Mississaugan competing is weightlifter Akos Sandor. A seven-time Canadian champion, the 29-year-old Sabaria Weightlifting School member captured gold at both the 2006 and 1998 Commonwealth Games.
Sailor Mike Wolfs is also no stranger to international competition, having won a silver medal at the Summer Olympics in Greece.
This is the second-largest delegation of Canadian athletes at any multi-sport competition. At the 1999 Pan American Games in Winnipeg, 618 Canadians competed.
