Dear all,
If you have a look at the WArtGames draft schedule, you will see that
we will share the hall with two other sports on the first day and
with only one on the second day.
Out of curiosity, I wanted to know more about these sports:
- Artistic roller skating is roughly identical to ice skating and
apparently uses the same size area, so we don't need to bother on
this matter, it will be wide enough for us. As for the ceiling, on
second thought it depends upon the number of seated spectators - the
more seats, the higher the building must be. So most certainly no
fear on this matter.
Videos are not that easy to find, a sign that the sport is as obscure
as ours ;-) . Here are a couple of them:

Note spectators are few, the sport needs multi-sports games at least
as much as we do.
- Artistic cycling shares the same anonimity and, actually, I would
call it acrobatic rather than artistic. Here is a video from a championship:

Here again, spectators are visibly mostly just friends & family.
However, shows and demos can be quite interesting :

Quite frankly, I believe we can be at least as attractive as thse two
sports and probably much more, it will remain for us to be somewhat
more professional in the presentation area (competitors behaviour and attire).
So. What do you think ?
