#speedskating — Public Fediverse posts

Miami Skater Migration is over, but some skaters remain in Florida for today's (Tuesday) Homestead Ultra Skate, a "how far can you skate in 24 hours" track event (think 24 Hours of Le Mans, but y'know, in Florida). One skater from DC whom we follow on Strava rolled 300+ miles there last year. Looking forward to see the numbers that people post soon, including Allegra from #Brooklyn.

Milano Cortina 2026: Speedskating Team Pursuit

Track cycling and speedskating often mirror one another, with similar events in each sport. In the team pursuit, for example, cyclists and skaters compete as a team to post the fastest time for a given distance. In cycling events, riders spend the race tucked into a line, with the lead rider providing a draft for their teammates. But that’s a tiring position for a cyclist, so every few laps the lead rider will pull off, move up the track, and drop behind their teammates for a rest. Speedskaters used to use the same technique. But no longer.

After working with aerodynamic simulation specialists, U.S. Speedskating pioneered a new race technique, in which skaters never change positions. Instead, each racer specializes in one position and skates while pushing the skater ahead of them. The technique requires a lot of practice, finesse, and trust; skaters in the later positions cannot see, skating as close as they can to the skater in front of them.

But, performance-wise, the new technique works. It’s taken U.S. women’s team pursuit from eighth in the world to number one. Other teams have adopted the technique, too, so this is likely what team pursuit will look like in the years to come. (Image credits: various, see image captions; via NPR)
