better place to start with than
speedskating? = *
Speedskating has been pro-

viding thrills for humans since |

man first strapped animal bones
to his feet and slid across and
icy patch of ground. However
in a more recognizable form, it
is said that speedskating dates
back to the twelfth century in
Holland. Then as now it was
one of the most popular, out-
door. activities in the
Netherlands and. it is not sur-
prising that after the sport was

introduced to the United States, .

Canada and the Scandinavian
countries during the nineteenth

century, the first World Cham--

pionships i in speedskating were
held in Amsterdam in 1893,

Men’s speedskating was in-.

cluded in the first Winter Olym-
pics. in 1924, but it. was’ 1964
before an event for women was

. included (a - definite double-
"bladed standard!),

1g SOO

In speedskating, two skaters
at a time race counterclockwise
fround a track,. There are five
events for men and four events
for women. The object is to
achieve. the fastest time. in all
events and so become the
overall winner. Arena tracks are
approximately 400 metres long
and five metres wide...

Skaters are required to
change lanes after each circuit
in an event. Each competitor
must wear an arm band — white
for the skater starting in the in-
ner land-and red for the com-
petitor in the outside lane. The
skates used are generally a low
backed boot with long narrow
blade reinforced with steel tub-
ing.

With our modern alloy blades
and full body suits. we have
changed a great deal from cave
man days or even those of Hans
Brinker. But the thrill. of the
sport has not changed and I
know that many of you will be
looking forward to attending
the speedskating competitions
being held in the Kitimat and
Terrace arenas during the Nor-
thern B.C. Winter Games.
‘Another instance of Kitimat
and Terrace cooperating to
make them both terrific.
