edition of the European Figure Skating Championships reserved for seniors,
announced, on Wednesday, the president of the Romanian Skating Federation,
Marian Streche. The FRP official specified that this competition
would take place in Bucharest, and Romania has the support of the
International Skating Federation (ISU), provided that the Romanian

rink, because we need a new one, the existing one in the Capital,

Winter Olympics Mini Version
The localities on the Upper Valley of Prahova were established
in the Bucegi micro-region and will organize in 2013, together
with the city of Brasov, the European Olympic Youth Festival
for winter sports. The International Olympic Committee accepted
Romania's candidacy for the organization of the
European Olympic Youth Festival for winter sports.
The event was awarded to us, because there was no other
country that wanted this competition. In order to host the
2013 competition, Romania must receive the final approval
from the CIO next year on the occasion of an exceptional
meeting that will take place in Istanbul. Until then,
the disciplines were divided into localities. Thus,
in Brasov will take place the ice competitions, ie
figure skating and speed skating and hockey matches.
For this, a new skating rink will be built and the
existing one in the Racadau neighborhood will be renovated.
The trainings will take place in Poiana Brasov.
Strange, but there will be no competition in the
Postavaru Massif.

Top 4 Most Impressive Ice Rinks in the World
1. Fuji-Q Highland (Japan)
Fuji-Q Highland is by far one of the largest and most impressive in the world. Located at the base of Fuji Mountain in Fujiyoshida , the rink has an area of 15,399 square meters. The impressive surface of artificial ice is furrowed, from place to place, by spectacular decorative elements.
2. FlevOnice (Netherlands)
FlevOnice is one of the most spectacular ice rinks in the world, both due to its large surface and its serpentine shape, similar to a Formula 1 racetrack. It is considered the longest ice rink in the Netherlands . Skaters can race on ice up to 200 km long, but only in the cold season (100 days / year). The width of the track is 5 meters and it is equipped with special cooling devices, to ensure the adequate temperature of the ice.
3. Rideau Canal (Canada)
Rideau Canal is considered one of the largest ice rinks in the world, with one of the most impressive histories. It is a canal that connects two Canadian cities - Kingston and Ottawa . The canal was built in 1832 to help Canadians fight a possible war with the United States. In the winter months, the section of canal that runs through downtown Ottawa turns into a huge 7.8-meter-long ice rink each year.
4. Sommerset House (United Kingdom)
The Sommerset Memorial House in London becomes, every year, in the winter months, a center of interest for skating enthusiasts. The courtyard of the Memorial House turns into the most beautiful and largest ice rink in the world. In the evening, the panorama is really impressive. The cakes and lighting sources on the facade of the Memorial House cheer up the atmosphere and spread a magical light, which makes you think of the past, in the 18th century , when the House was founded.
