NORTH TEXAS — The art of speed is something that Salma Narayan of Coppell mastered at just 18 years old.
“It’s essentially just racing on wheels,” she says.
Her team recently finished competing at a national competition in Florida, where Salma placed third in the 200 and 100-meter time trials.

To Salma Narayan and her father’s surprise, she qualified to represent Team USA in an international competition, the “World Skate Games” held in Italy this September.
“Once it was announced that she was selected to be part of the team, I was shocked. Overjoyed. I don’t think it’s settled for me yet,” Salma Narayan’s father, Andrew Narayan said.
Over 100 countries will be represented, and Salma will represent Team USA as a first-time member of the Senior World Class Team.
Her dad notes it’s the first time someone from Texas has been part of Team USA in about a decade.
Salma Narayan says she has mixed feelings about the upcoming competition, “I am excited and nervous. But I am ready to go compete.”
