About Speedskating:    Schedule/results    Speedskating photos
Long-track speedskating — an enduring sport
Like skiing, the sport of speedskating originally was a form of travel for residents of the north countries. More than 3,000 years ago, by some estimates, people first strapped bones or bits of wood to the bottoms of their shoes and wobbled down frozen rivers. The Vikings, especially, were very big on skating.
