中国轮滑发展历程
轮滑运动19世纪传入中国。当时仅限于沿海个别城市，只作为娱乐活动。直到上世纪80年代改革开放初期，轮滑作为一项时尚的运动，在中国的大地上开始由南向北传播，并遍地开花，各地相继建成简易轮滑场所供青年人休闲娱乐。轮滑这项时尚的运动在青年人中产生了极大的影响力，喜爱和参与轮滑运动的人数迅速增加，逐渐形成了一定的群众基础。
1980年，中国轮滑协会正式成立，并于同年9月加入了国际轮滑联合会。1986年，加入亚洲轮滑联合会，加强了和国际轮滑组织的沟通和交流，借鉴了国外开展轮滑运动的先进经验。同时，也开始出现正式的轮滑比赛，轮滑运动在中国的发展开始走上了由群众性娱乐活动向体育运动项目发展的道路。
1982年5月，首次在上海举办了“金雀杯速度溜冰邀请赛”。10月在北京举办了“环球杯轮滑邀请赛”。在此基础上于1983年10月在首都工人体育场举行了第一届全国轮滑锦标赛。比赛项目有速度轮滑和花样轮滑两项。
从 1985 年开始，亚洲轮滑联合会每两年举办一届亚洲轮滑锦标赛，以推动亚洲轮滑事业的发展。第一届亚洲轮滑锦标赛在日本举行，中国取得了团体总分第四名； 1987 年在韩国举办的第二届亚洲轮滑锦标赛上实现了“奖牌”零的突破，并首次挤入团体前三名。1989 年，在浙江省杭州市举办了第三届亚洲轮滑锦标赛，并陆续派队参加每届亚洲锦标赛，1999 年在上海金山成功承办第八届亚洲轮滑锦标赛，2008年，浙江海宁市举办了第十三亚洲轮滑锦标赛。
2005年世界速度轮滑锦标赛在苏州举办。此赛是迄今为止中国举办的最高水平轮滑赛事。2006年首届轮滑世界杯环太湖马拉松赛也在苏州举行，来自全球的1200多名轮滑爱好者参加本次马拉松赛。
目前，我国在速度轮滑、花样轮滑项目已经建立起比较齐备的比赛管理体系和技术标准，这两个项目发展很快，成为亚洲的强势项目之一。
据统计，我国有近1000万人参与轮滑这项运动。海宁建成了世界首座国际标准室内速度轮滑馆，上海、深圳、苏州、秦皇岛等地也都建成了具有国家标准的运动场地和比赛设施，各地的轮滑俱乐部纷纷建立，每年都有很多比赛和交流活动，这一切都在不断推动我国轮滑运动的发展。
