Roller skiing is a non-snow equivalent to cross-country skiing. Emulating skis, elongated inline skates, with one wheel at each end, are used on tarmac. The skating/skiing action is very similar to actual cross-country skiing on snow. First created as a summer training alternative, roller skiing has now grown into a competitive sport in its own right. Annual championships are held in various locations around the world. Most, if not all, national cross-country ski teams around the world roller ski during the off-season to simulate the ski motion.
