World Skate Games Registration process
1. National association: Initial contact
If you have a slalom coordinator in your country contact that person.
If not, then contact your National Federation to make sure they know about you.
In addition to the pre-qualified racers from the World Ranking each country may select 3 men and 3 women.
How that selection is done is up to each National Federation.
The National Federation has to approve your entry in the end!
If you have an OK from your national association then go to point 2.
2. Contact ISSA
We will then add you to the Messenger "WSK rider group" where we answer questions about WSG and the registration process.
And we will also make sure you are added you to the SlalomRanking.com registration list for WSG.
3. Create an Infinity profile
You create a profile on the World Skate Infinity application (online).

4. The Pre Seeded / Right to compete Athletes
If you are among the pre-seeded through the ISSA World Ranking you will also have to complete the Infinity Profile (point 3) in order to register.
And although you were pre-seeded, you also have to have your participation confirmed by the national federation.
5. After registration is complete
After registration to the event you will receive both an email confirmation and find the WSG 2024 Italia event in the "My Events" section in Infinity.

6. National association final step
Once the registration in Infinity is complete, the National Federation will need to confirm the athlete's participation in the event.
By doing so, they will also approve the athlete's participation and the registration fee will automatically be assigned to the National Federation.
If an athlete wants the payment to be assigned individually, they must contact their National Federation to arrange this.
If, after contacting their National Federation, athletes still have issues with the payment, they can email us at
Once the payment is set to Individual, athletes can pay the registration fee directly in Infinity either by credit card or bank transfer.
7. Registration closes August 12
When the registration closes August 12, we will revise the list of participants at SlalomRanking.com.
And. remove any racers not participating from the Messenger group "WSG Riders" so that we can focus our efforts on those actually taking part.
As you see the registration process is very advanced compared to normal events.
So you need to allow some time to get everything in order.
So don't wait until the last minute for this.

The new European champions are crowned
For two days over 50 riders from 10 countries took part at European championships in Massy, France. Despite heavy rains that strongly affected the race schedule, majority of groups managed to do all three disciplines.
In men’s PRO group it was a Latvian dominance – in hybrid slalom top honours went to 2023 hybrid slalom World champion Gustavs Gailītis, followed by Artūrs Liskovs, Toms Dreiblats and Czech rider Petr Matouš. Due to the rain, the tight slalom was held indoors, and 18-year-old Latvian Kristaps Mirčenko surprised everybody, by clocking the fastest time. Gailītis took 2nd, Dreiblats 3rd, but Louis Selby from Great Britian was 0.01 sec shy of a podium. After the weather cleared, it was time for the shortened giant slalom. 2019 giant slalom World champion Artūrs Liskovs showed his skills and managed to take the top spot. Just like in tight slalom, Gailītis was 2nd and Dreiblats 3rd. Gailītis took the overall top honours, Liskovs was 2nd and Dreiblats 3rd. They were followed by Mirčenko, Matouš and Christoph Baumann.
In women’s group current junior World champion Emily Martinu had an almost perfect race – a win in straight and giant plus a 2nd place in hybrid, that secured overall victory. Fight for 2nd overall was fierce between another young Czech talent Tereza Dvorakova and experienced German Kathrin Sehl. Tereza was 3rd in hybrid and with 3rd also in giant secured 2nd place overall. Kathrin was 3rd in tight slalom and with two 4th places it was enough to secure 3rd overall. Latvian Endija Līga Rūja was the fastest in hybrid, 2nd in giant, but had to skip tight due to an injury. Her countrywoman Dominika Adriāna Ozoliņa got her first European championships podium with 2nd place in tight slalom.
Due to weather restrictions, Masters only managed two disciplines. With 1st in hybrid and 3rd in tight, Lars Tuexen from Germany took the top honours in overall. Fabio Luiz Sprovieri from Brazil was 4th in hybrid but managed to secure a 2nd place in tight and 2nd place overall. Czech Masters took the next two overall positions – Stepan Vojta was 2nd in hybrid, 8th in tight and 3rd overall but Dan Syrovy Sr was 3rd in hybrid, 6th in tight and 4th overall. After several year hiatus from international racing, Swedish legend Peter Klang was back with a bang, taking top honours in tight slalom.
In amateur group there was a great battle between Czech and Brazilian riders. In tight Matej Stefka took the win, followed by Petr Martinu (both Czech Republic) and Pedro Frangulis (Brazil). In tight it was Pedro who was unstoppable, leaving Matej in 2nd and his fellow countryman Howard Weiss in 3rd. In the last discipline, giant slalom, it was Petr Martinu’s time to shine – he become European champion in giant slalom. Stefka was 2nd and Pedro 3rd. In overall rankings, Matej secured top spot, followed by Petr and Pedro.
In junior boys Jindrich Voves won the hybrid and tight, with Lukas Martinu 2nd in hybrid and 3rd in tight and Tomas Mach 3rd in hybrid and 2nd in tight.
In junior girls it was a race between Czech, French and Latvian young talents. Anna Rezkova won both hybrid and tight. Anna Safrankova was 2nd in hybrid and 3rd in tight, with Marie Maderova taking 3rd spot in hybrid making it all Czech podium. Meanwhile Latvian Keita Zorgevica took 2nd in tight and earning 3rd place overall right after Rezkova and Safrankova.
The season will continue with several national competitions all around Europe with the next big event being the legendary ‘’Skate ‘n’ Chill’’ compeititon in Polička, Czech Republic.

On the 9th and 10th of December the final race of the 2023 season took place in Caieiras - Brazil. The event was sanctioned by ISSA as a main event and was sanctioned by Brazilian Skateboarding Federation (CBSK). We had 2 full days of close racing both in men and women categories.
On Saturday there was Dual Hybrid where Thiago Gardenal came first followed by Nobru and Bruno Oliveira on the men. Saturday afternoon was Dual Tight where Thiago Gardenal came first again followed by Bruno Oliveira and Louis Selby who was the British contenter at the event. On Sunday was Giant Slalom Single Lane day. Each rider had 3 runs and the top 6 got a 4th extra run, best time counts. Again Thiago Gardenal took and just behind him by 0.1 Louis Selby, to complete this podium Pedro Frangulis with his first podium ever on a slalom event.
On the women's side Marina (Nina) came first in all 3 discipline with Thiz Bertoni second.
