testSPEED SKATING

OVERVIEW

Held indoors or outdoors depending on which discipline they practice, athletes skate on circuits such as cycle tracks or at non-specific locations such as roads or streets.

HISTORY

Speed skating originated in the Netherlands in the seventeenth century when frozen water canals thawed and ice skating was no longer possible.
