The 2026 National Roller Skating Championship officially serves as a strategic momentum for athletes and regional managers to solidify preparations ahead of the 10th National Sports Week (PON). This year's competition season marks an important milestone by including all roller sports disciplines that will be contested in the upcoming PON program, making it the most representative warm-up event.
In the speed roller skating category, competition unfolded with strict professional standards, particularly in the 500-meter, 1,000-meter, and 3,000-meter relay events. The relay event became a main highlight as it required precise tactical coordination and solid teamwork, creating dramatic competition down to the final seconds at the finish line.
In addition to speed categories, significant development was also seen in artistic roller skating disciplines, where the Speed Slalom event began to be integrated into the national competition program. The improvement in technique and speed displayed by athletes demonstrates the success of intensive training programs conducted across various regions in Vietnam.
For the Vietnam Ice Skating and Roller Skating Federation, this event serves as an effective evaluation instrument to assess athlete quality and the managerial capabilities of participating units. Data from this championship will be used as a basis for selecting key personnel projected to represent the country in sports missions at national and international levels.
The final tournament results placed the Ho Chi Minh City contingent at the top of the standings with 17 gold medals. Second place was taken by the Tay Ninh delegation with 7 gold medals, followed by the Dong Thap team in third with 5 gold medals. The success of this tournament is clear evidence of the rapid growth and professionalism of roller skating on the national stage.
