Sabien Tinson is one of the country’s top speed skaters.

Sabien Tinson recently earned a spot on the 2017 Junior World speed skating team that will travel to Nanjing, China (Aug. 23-Sept. 11) to compete in the 2017 World Championships. Tinson, 16, finished at the USA trials in Colorado Springs as the top competitor. He earned three Gold medals, and set six national records. A strong  finish in China could earn Tinson a spot in the 2018 Junior Olympics in Argentina.

Tinson is one of only a few blacks who participate at this level of inline speed skating. The Albany, Ga., native’s master plan  is to make the transition from Inline skating to Olympic Speed Skating (in  either Short or Long Track), and compete in the 2022 Winter Olympics in Bejing, China.

We had the pleasure of interviewing him on our radio show on November 29, 2016.
