Also great news Dimas Prasetya the Mens 2009 Indonesian Marathon champion will be present, he impressed both myself & the AIC marketing Manager Eddie Chua while we were in Indonesia, at their National Championships.
In 2010 around end February, its hoped a series of around 3 AIC events will be held in Indonesia.

Hi Skaters,
The latest rumour circulating is that the big man Andre Willie from the tiny country of Litchenstein, could turn up in Singapore & Malaysia to defend his overall lead in the "ASIANIC INLINE CUP".
The Jia Xing course was ideal for the big man & his fitness & strenth prevailed for an epic win.
The tighter compact Orchard road course may not suit the big man, but the Malaysian circuit should, with a man who lives amongst the Mountains, he may find the humidity a bit of a problem, but at about 2am in the morning, it should not be a big problem.

Already 3 Chinese teams will be comming, plus a big team from Hong Kong, Taiwan, New Zealand will also be there, at least 3 Americans, plus some Europeans, with both increased numbers from Korea & Japan, neighbours Malaysia will be present, but the latest good news is that 5 major Indonesian clubs will be presented.
Indonesian speed skating a long time not involved Internationally is Keen to hold at least 3 AIC races in 2010.
The night starts off with the recreation race, then there is the ladies & Mens half marathon AIC International races, it is hoped a few Non Europeans might compete after the World games, unfortunately the top Europeans are committed to the European Championships, at the time of the event. On the Tuesday evening Bill & Nicole Begg will conduct a coaches & skaters coaching Clinic in Singapore.
PATRAJAYA MALAYSIA
Malaysia does not even have a speed skating Federation, but its a very sports minded nation & will host an AIC event on Saturday evening the 1st August, this full on 42 km race will be for the purists 6 laps of a 7km course starting & finishing at Patraja Bouelevard, the main street of the Political Capital.
It has a gradual climb over & back across the Bridge over the man made lake & a testing 300 meter climb, before turning & heading back, an ideal type course for the Worlds best, with 1 good climb & 2 uphill drags per circuit
The Recreation 10km will not utilize the hill section, the Marathon will be preceded by the 500 meter sprint series & hill primes & sprint primes each of the laps, with 3,2 & 1 bonus points at stake.
Yesterday AIC Marketing Manager Eddie Chua, Manager Danniel Chua & Executive consultant Bill Begg met with Malaysian AIC partner Eusoffe Chua ( Not related to Eddie & Daniel) & met with very enthusiastic members of the Patrajaya Council in Malaysia.

There will be Free bus transport available on the Wednesday for the International skaters & also another bus Sceduled for Friday, returning Sunday morning to Singapore. The Hotel costs are being finalized now but there will be two levels available, we will have entry forms available in Singapore also.

A great Double up weekend, as all of Asia starts to open up their doors to the AIC & new nations appearing in International speed circles.

ASIANIC INLINE CUP FINAL PROGRAM 2009
Hi Skaters & Followers,
We thank you for your patience & understanding, as at very late notice, we brought together the much awaited ASIANIC INLINE CUP.
Now for some clarification.
With two events held already the 9 stage programme will continue next on the 24th May with the WIC event in Incheon., followed by the Xiajing Chinese AIC event, on the 29 th May. (Note changed to Friday for main part of Festival, 1 hour from Shanghai Airport, please advise, if you need met, race after 2 pm on Friday, track races 30th )
In its Initial year 2009 we could not define the overall criteria, till we could finally confirm the number of events, which has now been settled.
1/ With Incheon & Suzhou WIC events doubling as AIC events, to encourage AIC skaters to step up to a higher level. In these events the top 50 placegetters will earn points, as per normal WIC top class criteria from 125 points down as per the winner. ( As Revised Begg 2007 )
2/ For the overall Points & AIC winner, only 1 of the 2 Asian WIC events count for AIC points,
with the worst performance discarded from the overall.
3/ For the 7 AIC races, the top 20 earn overall points, as per WIC class 1 (as Revised Begg 2007), with 60 points for the winner.
4/ For the 7 AIC events, the best 5 performances of the 7 count for the overall title, with the 2 lowest discarded.
5/All Bonus points earned from 500 (Approx ) meter pre Marathon AIC sprints will remain, in the points for overall honours.
6/ Same as all sprint Prime & Hill prime bonus points, they will remain in the overll points, no matter if scored in a discarded event or not.
7/ Those skaters risking losing in the final result for the race, by contesting pre race sprint series & livening up the events by contesting sprint primes & hill primes, deserve rewarding.
8/ In summary 6 of the 9 events count for the overall title, 1 of the 2 Asian WIC races & 5 of the 7 ASIANIC INLINE CUP races.
FULL PROGRAMME OF EVENTS COUNTING IN 2009.
28th February Singapore TUAS Half Marathon (Completed )

Hi Skaters, Sorry for late information & delays, but we have a number of confirmations & another strong probability which will take us through to 8 or 9 events involved in the Asianic Inline cup first season.
Remembering that to encourage participation by emerging nations in the WIC, the Incheon nKorea & Zuzhou China events carry the standard 125 points for the winner & first placed 50 skaters earn points, that make them eligible for the overal ASIANIC INLINE CUP.
Other AIC Races have points carry as 60 points for the win & the top 20 score points, also the 500 meter sprint series prior to marathons & the bonus primes during the race count for the overall points.
24th May - Incheon Korea WIC ( AIC Points )
27 - 29 th May - Xiajing China AIC ( will be confirmed in next few days, in this time span hopefully )
25th July - Orchard Road Singapore AIC Midnight
1 - 2nd August - Patrajaya Boulevard Malaysia ( a real top class course with reasonable 500 meter climb on each 5 or 6km lap ) Sat Aft or Sunday Morning, confirm in 1 week.
26th August - Zuzhou China WIC. ( AIC points )
1st October - Disneyland Hong Kong Half Marathon & 3 road races 500, 1,500 & 10,000 pts on 600 meter concrete circuit.( post Worlds, shop till you drop in Hong Kong )
4th October - Zhu Hai China AIC ( 90% sure ) as double up for Hong Kong, 1 hr 15 min boat trip from Hong Kong & adjacent to Macau.
The ASIANIC INLINE CUP is proposed to kick off in Christchurch or Timaru New Zealand on the 24th January with an AIC Marathon, During the week a "Tour of South Canterbury" will be Held, with an AIC Marathon on the Sunday to Finish, races will include the Saturday Wiamate sports carnival, where they will race on the Saturday on the 400 meter Cycle track. It is hoped the following week can start off in Australia, with a mid week race & a Double header Weekend.
Cheers Bill
