Sport presentation
An ice sport in which competitors skate around an oval track marked on an ice rink as quickly as possible in order to cover a pre-established distance. The most common distances are 500m, 1,000m, 1,500m, 3,000m (for women only), 5,000m, and 10,000m, however, sometimes other distances are also contested.
