Aston, PA’s IceWorks youth skaters headed to France to represent USA in world championships of Theatre on Ice
ASTON, Pa. (CBS) — Next week, 20 Theatre on Ice skaters from IceWorks Skating Club in Aston, Pennsylvania, will make history as they compete in Bordeaux, France, at the 2024 Nations’ Cup.
This marks the first time in the club’s history that its Theatre on Ice team will compete internationally, representing the nation as Team USA. The 2024 Nations’ Cup is set to host 47 teams and over 900 skaters.
The competitive category of Theatre on Ice focuses more on group performance as opposed to solo and pair skating which often bases scores more on jumps and spins.
Vinnie DiNatale, from Wilmington, Delaware, has been skating for most of his 18 years. He said he’s excited to meet other teams from around the world.
“I feel like whenever you talk about figure skating, everyone brings up the Olympics, and this is the next closest thing,” DiNatale said. “I feel like this is what everyone works for when you’re a figure skater – representing your country.”
