SPEED SKATING

It is very exciting and physically demanding. There are three disciplines in Speed Skating.

Track Racing:

Indoor track racing takes place on an oval track measured out on a flat even skating surface.

Road Racing:

Road races are run on varied surfaces. The minimum distance for a road circuit is 240m that must have a minimum width of 5m. The average road circuit is between 400m and 500m.

Banked Track:

Banked track racing is usually only for International events. The races are usually held on a 200m oval track, which is slightly banked at either end.
