Speed Skating
Did You Know?
Top speed skaters can reach speeds of over 45 kilometres per hour as they skate around the oval in a race.
Long track speed skating takes place on large indoor and outdoor tracks with skaters racing against the clock. However, there are no Long track speed skating facilities in the UK.
Short track speed skating - skaters race against each other around a very tight indoor track. There are separate events for men's, women's and junior competitions, as well as for relays.
Speed skaters wear skin-tight suits made from lightweight, stretchy fabric. They also wear specially designed speed skates. The speed skate blade is longer than the figure skate blade, thinner, single edged and straight. It is compulsory for speed skaters to wear hard-shell helmets. Knee- and shin- pads and gloves also provide extra protection from accidents.
