Description: Speed skating is pure racing! The gold goes to those who skate fastest. But few other sports can match the excitement of the head-to-head fights for positions between skaters hurtling themselves through curves. Or the photo-finish drama that unfolds once they cross the finish line. To win, the skaters need not only sprinting abilities and stamina, they also have to grasp the race situation quickly and use all advantages to beat their opponents on the home stretch. With the introduction of inline skates in 1992, the pace of the races has increased further – and new techniques and tactics have emerged to make them even more compelling. Regardless whether it is a sprint over 500 metres or an elimination race over 20 kilometres.
