The market for outdoor roller skates is rapidly rising and expanding. In 1910, the roller skating game began to appear in Europe, and in 1908 the United Kingdom built the world's largest roller skating rink.
Due to the vigorous development of roller skating in Europe and North America, and the establishment of a world organization to manage the sport in a unified manner, it is very necessary to promote its healthy development. Therefore, the first congress of the International Roller Skating Federation was held in Montreux, Switzerland in 1924. 11 representatives from Switzerland, Britain, France and Germany attended the meeting. The meeting elected the Swiss Ren Kewitz as the first president. The chairman, Otto Meyer, was the secretary general and decided to hold an annual congress.
