Back to Inline: Champions Always Prevail, All About Switzerland

Champions Always Prevail: Well, after my flirt and brush with short track ice this weekend, it's time ot move away from our brothers and sisters on ice and go back to inline skating stuff. First off, there's a nice post on Bont's Message Board about how Champions always prevail. In the post, Bill Begg talks about a few skaters and how they are able to remain at the top in various conditions. It's an interesting read for sure.

All About Switzerland: You know, when I think about Switzerland, for some reason, I think about chocolate. I have this picture in my head of Switzerland being this land covered in vast seas of chocolate.

I've been there though a few years ago and I can confirm that it is not the chocolate land of my dreams, however it is extremely nice and I highly recommend you make your way over there. Seems like many people will in 2009- See, in 2009, Switzerland is slated to be the land of the world champioships, the host nation- Here is more on the 2009 world championships.
