## Caption

Speedway Sports Complex was filled with a burst of colored feathers and sequined dresses July 9. Kids looped and spun to the beat of their favorite songs.⁠
⁠
Competitors as young as 5 looked like tiny, twirling figures on ice, except they wore skates. Instead of a frozen rink, their stage was polished hardwood.⁠
⁠
The USA Roller Sports National Championships feature figure skating, speed skating and inline hockey and run through the end of the month.⁠
⁠
The championships have drawn people from all over the country to Lincoln. Ricci Porter-Kmetz, sports and directions operator at USA Roller Sports (USARS), said the competition brings in nearly 5,000 spectators, coaches and athletes.⁠
⁠
The influx of visitors is good for the city's hotels and restaurants, Porter-Kmetz said.⁠
⁠
Lincoln has hosted the national championships more than any other city. And USARS is based in Lincoln.⁠
