In the next days, athletes from 24 different European countries will compete for a double (youth and seniors) European championship roller speed skating. For this occasion - and having the City of Oostende as a major sponsor - the openingceremony took place near the coastline. With local dancergroups as a refreshment, the rollerparade passing by, and the closing words by members of the CEC... and athletes still stressless. This could change as from tomorrow morning. The kick off will be given at 9.30 a.m.
Pictures and video of the openingceremony yet available at the Media Zone - section.
