Edea Sponsors Brazilian Skaters

Brazilian skater Kevin Alves loves his new Edeas. "The boots are so comfortable and light it's like wearing a pair of slippers," said the 17 year old.

"We love to help countries that are coming up," said Caterita of Edea who has been in the industry since 1962, "It's good for everyone."

Kevin finished 37th out of 52 skaters at the World Figure Skating Championships in Los Angeles, ending with a season's best score and valuable experience.

Los Angeles was Kevin's first World Championship and while he's proud of his performance he also understands that he has a lot of work to do to prepare for the qualifier - the Nebelhorn Trophy in September.

"Kevin has shown what he's capable of and has had tremendous progress in a short period of time," said Coach Robert Burk, "He's a completely different skater than he was only 6 months ago and I have no doubt that he'll be ready for September."
