- We know
that the decision to participate in the World Inline
Cup is a bit difficult because it must to be very
ready and to have a team which help you. How arose
the decision to enter in Bont Wheels?
The decision appeared then that
they make me a proposal in the World Championship of
Cali, declaring me their interest to have a team in
ladies for 2008. When they know the other skaters of
the team, they make me to accept the proposal
because they knew that we will be the strongest team
and we will fight for the season.

Wold Inline Cup 2008, until now you are the first
with more than 200 points of advantage than the

Nicole Begg, this separation in the points makes you
feel more surely in the races, or you run also at
100%?

themselves even the end and make the best possible
for the team.
- Do you think that is
correct the organization of the marathons?
Yes, I feel that the circuit
is a big opportunity to get the professionalism in
our sport, but I feel that the approach is not the
best one, because it must to focus more publicity,
to make the people know the skating and to try to
deal with which the private company ties around the
circuit. Thus we make bigger our sport.

celebrated in Yopal, Colombia, the selective for the
World Championship of Gijón 2008. You were going to
be in these tests, but in the last moment you

Well, I focus me totally in
the circuit of marathons. As the season advanced I
knew that I could to finish in the TOP of the
circuit, so this year I wanted to give my priority
for the marathons, furthermore it was a new
experience for me.

No. We need people who can
focus our sport to be bigger.
There are more to explode

day the skating could be an Olympic sport?
I hope yes, because it would
be the fulfilled cycle of all sportsmen to run in
these, and thus put the skating in the position
where it must to be. I hope that our leader fight by
this dream could be really and I hope that I have
the necessary conditions for participate in them if
