WORLD INLINE CUP

The WORLD INLINE CUP (WIC) is since 2000 the highest international marathon series for inline speed skaters. The world´s best skaters take part in the world's most demanding and biggest marathon races in Europe and Asia and meet fitness skaters from all over the globe. The overall winners will receive prize money after the season. Since 2014 the organizer of the WORLD INLINE CUP is IGUANA Deutschland GmbH

Philosophy

The World Inline Cup stands for top sport. The best skaters in the world are at the start of every event. They appreciate the perfect organisation, the most beautiful and centrally-located courses, and the professional marketing of the Inline Skating sport in the media. And they know that the organisers of the Inline movement love the sport.

The World Inline Cup stands for mass movement. Every stage is also a festival on rollers without discrimination, without licenses. For the large masses the fun-oriented experience is first and foremost: the thrilling atmosphere, the pulsating program and the knowledge that the hobby skaters are taken just as seriously as the pros by hat organisers. The World Inline Cup is a platform for the entire family and with family-related services.

The World Inline Cup successfully combines sport, fun and adventure with culture. The core of events is the pulsating Inline Village with the best brands, the newest products and exciting activities. And of course, parties with imaginative catering are part of the experience.

ORGANIZERS OF THE WORLD INLINE CUP ADAPT OVERALL RANKING WITH THREE RACES HELD THIS SEASON

OVERALL RANKING FOR SINGLE ATHLETES, TEAMS AND JUNIORS REMAINS

TOTAL PRIZE MONEY TO BE REDUCED BY 50%

Berlin, August 6, 2021. The current Covid situation will allow for an overall ranking at the WORLD INLINE CUP this year. The organizers of the WIC have decided that with three races staged in L'Aquila (Italy), Funchal (Madeira, Portugal) and Berlin (Germany) an overall ranking is possible this year. Participation in at least two of the three races held is a prerequisite for consideration in this year's overall rankings. As in previous years, there will be an overall ranking for single athletes, teams, and juniors. The races in Dijon (France) and Sarasota (USA), which both take place after the WIC final in Berlin, have the status of an Associated Race and are therefore not included in the overall ranking.

However, the total prize money will have to be reduced by 50% due to the significantly lower income due to the cancellation of several races as a consequence of the global pandemic and strict travel restrictions. The prize money this year will be 5,000 USD instead of 10,000 USD.

"We are very grateful to the organisers who made it possible for athletes to compete on the road again this year despite the difficult conditions. In addition, we are pleased to be able to offer two more races outside the overall ranking in the WIC calendar with the marathon in Dijon (France) and Sarasota (USA) on October 17. For all other organisers, we look forward to working with them next year. The decision to offer an overall ranking and prize money for the WORLD INLINE CUP despite the small number of races this year; is also due to the respect for the athletes. Especially for the athletes it has been two very difficult seasons”, said Volker Schlichting, Executive Director of the WORLD INLINE CUP.
