Good luck to Ali Blank, Angela Chiang, Rusty Constine, Wade Corbett, Marni Halasa, Bridie Myles and Maria O'Connor, as they travel to Cologne, Germany, to compete in the Gay Games VIII on July 31!

The Gay Games is the biggest sports and cultural festival in the world. Some 10,000 participants from more than 70 countries will converge for The Games and celebrate the principles of participation, inclusion and personal best. 

The motto is "Be part of it!," and the invitation is open to everyone!

With a total of 35 athletic disciplines, Gay Games VIII will cover a wide-ranging program of sports. However, the figure skating competition is expected to be one of the highlights of the Games.  About 120 skaters (including our 7 coaches!) are expected to participate. 

Four years ago, at the Gay Games VII in Chicago, Marni Halasa, Maria O'Connor and Wade Corbett all took home gold medals.  Let's hope for gold medals all around! Good luck coaches!
