Speed skating is a competitive form of ice skating where participants race against each other on ice skates. The sport involves individual or team competitions, typically held on an oval track, although some variants may take place on straight tracks. Speed skating is characterized by long, slender blades and a crouched skating position to maximize speed. There are different styles of speed skating, including short track, which features races on a smaller oval track with more turns and physical contact, and long track, which involves longer distances on a larger oval. The objective is to complete the designated distance in the shortest amount of time. Speed skating is recognized as an official Olympic sport and involves various categories based on distance and competition format.
