And They’re Off! Logan City Speed Heads to the 2025 World Championships

Ladies and gentlemen, start your stopwatches and hold onto your helmets—four of Logan City Speed’s finest are about to thunder down the track at the 2025 World Inline Speed Skating Championships in Beidaihe, China! From September 13–21, it’s going to be a show of speed, skill, and pure heart.

And there’s the bell! Out of the gate, it’s Rob Cook, national record holder in the indoor 200m time trial, taking a clean start with his usual calm precision. Eyes on the distance races, but don’t blink—he’s got that sprint in reserve, ready to leave the competition eating his dust if the opportunity strikes!

Hot on his wheels is Raiden Dolder, our fearless Junior Men competitor, final year in the division and ready to put the pedal to the metal. He’s been training like a tornado, taking every lesson from past meets and packing it into those Lightning McQueen boots—watch those sparks fly as he attacks the distance events with all guns blazing!

Coming around the first bend, we have Zoe Martain, a ball of electricity on eight wheels. Quick, sharp, and relentless, she’s eyeing the 100m sprint like a hawk sizing up the finish line. Last year’s near-misses are just fuel for the fire, and with a bronze medal in Namwon under her belt, she’s charging forward with speed, strategy.

And don’t forget Alyvia Samia, the dark horse with a spark that’s been growing since last year’s Worlds. She’s taken in every race, soaked up every little bit of atmosphere she could at least years world games, and transformed it into pure determination. Look at her go! Strong in the distance and elimination events, Alyvia’s stamina, courage, and relentless drive have the crowd on the edge of their seats—she’s a skater who doesn’t just race, she gives it all and leaves it out on the track!!

It’s a tight pack here, folks, and Logan City Speed is making us proud. Four athletes, four unique styles, one club spirit driving them forward. From Australia to Beidaihe, every stride, every lap, every heart-pounding moment is a story of dedication, grit, and pure speed skating joy.

And as the checkered flag waves, remember this: Rob, Raiden, Zoe, and Alyvia, you’ve trained harder, raced smarter, and now it’s your moment—skate fast, push harder, and enjoy every lap of this incredible journey!
