Japanese Inline Speed Champions have retired

有言実行、山本紳貴選手が渡良瀬ロードマラソンで10連覇達成されました。と同時に引退の意思も変わらず、今後、インラインレースで活躍する姿を見る事は無さそうです。これからは篠塚奈知選手と共にローラースポーツ普及、後進の指導などに期待したいところです。

At Jan. 9th 2011, Shinki Yamamoto and Nachi Shinozuka, both been 2007 WIC skater of Timmerman Powerslide, won the 18th All Japan Roller Skate Marathon held at Watarase loop road course. Shinki has won the JRSF Marathon 10 years in a row, but he and his girl friend Nachi (PE 10000m Silver of WC Guarne 2010) retired from the races after this marathon.

Shinki Yamamoto have been practicing speed skating in these years. Then he got a gold medal of ice speed skate 5000m in the 65th Winter National Sports Festival Kushiro Jan. 31, 2010. So he maybe go from roller to ice.
