Fifteen skaters from the Flin Flon Skating Club attended the Norman Region STARSkate Championship and Funskate held last month in The Pas.
Over two days, Jan. 29 and 30, skaters from Gillam, Thompson, Flin Flon, The Pas and Swan River competed in the categories of FreeSkate, Elements, Interpretive, Solo Dance, Spins, Improv and Team Events.
There was also an event for CanSkate to introduce the younger skaters into the Funskate portion of the weekend.
Danielle Nelson and Victoria Pedwell shared the Most Passionate Skater Award. The winner of this regional award is chosen based on the passion they display during their FreeSkate performance. Skate Canada evaluators at the competition select the recipients.
