The Scooter World Championships is the premier scootering championship organised by World Skate, the only organization that regulates scootering with the avail of the IOC. The first event took place in 2019 as part of the World Skate Games in Barcelona. This first event was organised after an agreement with the International Scooter Federation, the most popular organization that regulates scootering, to include their World Championship (which has been held annually since 2012) as part of the World Skate Games. [1] After that, World Skate has moved on and organized their own World Championships in 2021, without the involvement of ISF. The third world championship will take place as part of the 2022 World Skate Games [2]

Figure skating is a sport in which individuals, pairs, or groups perform on figure skates on ice. It was the first winter sport to be included in the Olympic Games, when contested at the 1908 Olympics in London. The Olympic disciplines are men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance; the four individual disciplines are also combined into a team event, first included in the Winter Olympics in 2014. The non-Olympic disciplines include synchronized skating, Theater on Ice, and four skating. From intermediate through senior-level competition, skaters generally perform two programs, which, depending on the discipline, may include spins, jumps, moves in the field, lifts, throw jumps, death spirals, and other elements or moves.

Roller hockey, rink hockey or quad hockey is a team sport played on roller skates. It is the only quad-skate team sport in existence where two teams face-off against one another at the same time. Two teams try to drive a hard ball with their sticks into the opposing teams' goalnet. Each team has five players on the rink at a time, four of whom are skaters and one who is the goalkeeper. The ball can only be put in motion by a stick, not the skate, otherwise a foul will be stated. The game has two 25-minute halves, with 15-minute halftime intermission, plus up to two 5-minute golden goal periods to settle ties with the clock stopping when the ball becomes dead. If the tie persists, a penalty shootout will determine the winner. Players – including the goalie – use quad skates, whereas inline skates are used in inline hockey. The sticks are similar to those in bandy and shinty. Excessive contact between players is forbidden in rink hockey, unlike inline hockey.
