At 15.00 the training for the figure skaters begins in the Mimerhallen at Rocklunda.

This is how it looks several days a week, due to the lack of ice times.

Västerås figure skating club believes that the too early ice times prevent the club from growing and have caused skaters to quit.

Maria Sandberg competed in the elite series last season, but has been forced to drop her elite effort with the early training times as a strong contributing factor. 

- It is difficult to have a job and manage to train with the ice times we have, she says.
