Learn more about speed skating

Speed skating is a competitive ice sport where athletes race on skates over a set distance as fast as possible. There are different formats, including long track, which takes place on a 400-meter oval rink, and short track, held on a smaller rink with multiple skaters competing simultaneously. Speed skaters wear specialized skates with long, thin blades designed for maximum speed and efficiency. The sport requires strength, endurance, balance, and precise technique, as skaters use powerful strides and aerodynamic positions to minimize resistance. Speed skating is featured in the Winter Olympics and has a passionate global following. It combines athleticism, strategy, and speed, making it both exciting to watch and challenging to compete in.
