"I expected to reach to the finals, but not to take the first place!", Alice said, "The competition was very tough! First of all, I was not in my best shape, but most importantly because all my opponents had an enormous capacity!

I am very satisfied about my race! I think that this Chinese race was the most difficult race after Lyon, so I'm really happy for managing to catch up with Mathilde Monneron! Regarding next year, I'd like to compete even more and to try to reach the world number one title!

However I think it was one of the best experiences of my life! I am very thankful to my coach and to my parents!"

We are sad to announce that the WSX Russian Main event, which was supposed to be held on September, 5th to 6th, in Moscow, had to be cancelled by the local organization. We apologize to everyone for the misinformation, but nonetheless ​there will still be an event held in Moscow, from September 4th to 6th : a World Slalom Series 3-cone event, Rollerclub Cup, with disciplines such as Battle, Classic, Speed, Slides and Jumps. Even if the WSX event is cancelled, you can still enjoy the opportunity of this competition ! For more information check the world slalom series website.

The first international event of the year was held on June 13th - 14th, in Barcelona, Spain. 

20 skaters from 6 different countries were invited to this event, to make the first big event of 2015. The competition gathered France’s strongest skaters, World Champion 2013-2014 and Men's world #1 Anthony Avella, Kevin Quintin (Fra, #5), Women's world #1 and double world champion (2013-2014) Mathilde Monneron (Fra) and Costabile Aurore (Fra, #4).

The race was hard, with a very complicated first ramp that the best skaters decided to gap, and the fact that the whole race was downhill didn’t help, as it gave a great deal of speed to the skaters. The fight was tough as well, but the strongest won anyway. 

Double World Champion (2013 - 2014), Anthony Avella (Fra, #1) got his first big victory of the season. He showed the best time in the time trials (30,157), and won all his races to reach the first step of the podium. World # 5, Kevin Quintin (Fra) finished second. Showing the second best qualification time (31,129), he was first of his groups in the third and semi finals and ended up only one step away from the first place. The skatecross newcomer, Danilo Martins from Brazil did a great job, finishing third. He performed the third best qualification time (31,580) and finished at the third place on his very first skatecross. Warren Digne (Fra, #16), who was second at the semi-finals, after the rider Daniel Gomez (Esp) got disqualified for jumping over a bale of straw, ended up fourth.

Women's World Champion of the last two seasons, Mathilde Monneron (Fra, #1) left all her competitors behind and won the skatecross final. She was the fastest at the qualification (33,912) and during all of her runs. World #4, Aurore Costabile (Fra) finished second. After showing the third time at the time trials (38,328), she won the semi-final but could not keep it up for the final and stayed at the second position. Sara Vilella from Spain showed an excellent result for her very first skatecross experience, performing the second time at the qualification (35,763) and ending on the third place of the podium at the final. Alexandra Sukhareva (Rus, #8), who made the fourth best qualification time (38,398), was the last to cross the finish line of the big final and took the fourth place.
