ST GEORGE’S, Grenada, July 7, 2011 - Grenada could have representation at the Winter Olympic Games in
Sochi, Russia in 2014.
Last month, the Grenada Figure Skating Association (GFSA) was been
granted provisional membership in the International Skating Union (ISU).
The GFSA, which was formed in 2007 and recognised by the Grenada Olympic
Committee three years later, is hoping that this international recognition will
give Grenadians who could figure skate an opportunity to compete at the highest
level.
President of GFSA, Grenadian Earl Clarkson said that the provisional
membership means that Grenada could be represented internationally at winter
sports, starting this season.
Grenadian figure skater, 14 year-old Oliya Clarkson is trained by
Nikolai Morozov and is considered to be one of the best coaches in the world.
“Oliya has been training and is excited to represent Grenada on the
international arena,” said Clarkson.
The GFSA is headed by Mr Clarkson with James Clarkson as the
Vice-President and Reena Leschinsky as the General Secretary.
