The figure skating section in Latvia, Riga becomes stronger with each season. Figure skaters of Latvia have repeatedly shown serious results at the Grand Prix, European Figure Skating Championships, as well as the World Figure Skating Championships among juniors and seniors.
The Latvian figure skating championship is becoming more interesting. The competition between Latvian figure skaters is growing, and it becomes increasingly difficult to qualify for the top three in Latvia's strongest skaters. This is understandable, after all, according to the results of the Championship of Latvia, trips to the Grand Prix stages are distributed, and these are international competitions that require even greater responsibility.
Strong skaters of Latvia sometimes can not afford much in the name of success in figure skating. Training schedule, diet, competitions and do not forget that they also study in schools and universities. It is really difficult to become a real athlete - but nothing is possible.
In Zagreb, the World Junior Championships in synchronized figure skating was held. In the championship the team of Latvia debuted, which took 22nd place among 24 teams from 19 countries.
In the junior world championship in synchronized figure skating from Latvia the team Amber Junior from Riga - athletes of 13 - 20 years old acted. The team consists of 17 participants - former skaters of single skating, who took responsibility for the resumption of synchronized skiing in Latvia. Train the team Alma Liepina-Lace (champion of the USSR-89 among juniors) and Anda Medna, choreographer Alice Kosheleva-Nurahmedova.
