translated from Spanish: A national team of artistic skate seeks funds to go to the World Cup

Representing your country in a World Cup is one of the highest aspirations of any athlete. But, unfortunately, some have to overcome various obstacles to achieve this. That is the case of the girls of the Roller Dreams team, a figure skate team from Bahía Blanca.The team is qualified for the Figure Skating World Cup, which will begin on September 29 in Paraguay. But they can not travel by land, and do not have the money necessary to cover the trip and the stay.As detailed on Twitter, “the trip planned in micro and with 5 days of stay in Asuncion, today, with the sanitary measures that our government imposes on the athletes, was transformed into an airfare and 12 days of stay with the entire delegation”. The cost, they said, would be $1,700 per person (it’s 20).” As we can not travel by land to Paraguay, the cost of the World Cup is more than 6 million pesos and we do not have that money,” explained one of the young women in a video that the team posted on Tik Tok. 
It is not the first time that the girls represent Argentina: they did it on nine consecutive occasions, getting a gold medal and five silver medals.

The Figure Skating World Cup was supposed to be held last year, but, like most events, it was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic, and will be held between September 29 and October 9 this year.
