A world-champion roller-skater, Anna Conklin, of the United States, demonstrates some backward skating techniques at Skate World, in Papanui, on Saturday. Miss Conklin, who was the 1980 world singles champion, was in Christchurch with the 1981 world dancing champions, Cindy Smith and Mark Howard, also of the United States, for a one-day seminar of coaching and lecturing. The trio was brought to New Zealand by an Auckland skating club to celebrate its twenty-fifth anniversary. They were invited to Christchurch by Skate World and Skate City and demonstrated to about 120 enthusiastic competition skaters from the region.
