Tonight, after that the Small groups conquered the audience in the venue and on live streaming, Paraguay and the city of Asuncion warmly welcomed the artistic skating world. In spite of the restrictions that are still active in many countries, more than 600 athletes of 21 National teams reached Asuncion for the event, eager for the adrenaline of the competition and the emotions that only the rink can provide after such a long stop - no world championships took place in 2020 due to the pandemia and the last international event dates back to the summer of 2019 with the World Roller Games in Barcelona.

The Compulsory athletes opened the event on September 29th. This was the last opportunity for them to compete on a world stage and the focus was on the top: starting from 2022 there will be new international event formats for this discipline out of the world championships. The Inline Freeskating is one of the most recent and emerging disciplines amongst the artistic movement. Yesterday, it was the turn of the Precision groups and today the Small Groups were on stage.
