Inline to Ice – Wayne Begg Chases the Olympic Dream

Wayne Begg grew up on inlines and now has done the inline-to-ice transfer like his sister Nicole. The Timaru Herald, a New Zealand publication, has an update on his progress.

Begg and world inline marathon champion, Shane Dobbin, are training in Holland, and he is dividing his time between marathon and 1000m. Wayne feels that the 1000m will be his qualifying event opportunity for the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver.
