Speed Skating Speed skaters race around a 400-metre oval with two lanes, over distances ranging from 500 metres to 10 000 metres. Only two competitors skate at the same time. Each must stay in his or her own lane but the two must swap lanes after each lap so that they both cover the same distance. They race against each other but after all the skaters have had their turn, the one with the fastest time wins the competition.
