Equipment In The Beginning The roots of ice skating date back over 1,000 years to the frozen canals and waterways of Scandinavia and the Netherlands when men laced animal bones to their footwear and glided across frozen lakes and rivers. Long Track History Olympic speed skating, or long track as it is known today, made its debut at the first Winter Olympics in 1924 in Chamonix, France and it has been a highlight of the Games ever since. Early Olympic competition was dominated by the Finns and Norwegians; however, the Americans invariably provided stiff competition. Canada's first Olympic speed skating medals were won in 1932 in Lake Placid. The medal count was one silver and four bronze for the men while the women, competing in demonstration events, captured one gold and two silver medals. A star of those Games was the legendary Lela Brooks, who in 1925 set six world records and in 1926 became the first all-around world champion. By the late 1930s, popular interest in speed skating began to decline; and as hockey arenas were built, professional hockey hastened the diminishing spectator appeal of the sport. The advent of World War II also took a toll on the popularity of Canadian speed skating. When Olympic competition resumed in 1948, the Norwegians remained the skaters to beat. However, at the 1952 Oslo Games Canada's Gordon Audley brought home the 500 m bronze medal. By 1956 at Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, speed skaters from the Soviet Union (absent from Olympic competition for 48 years) ended the Norwegian stranglehold on Olympic speed skating. The Canadians were shut out and would have to wait until 1976 to mount the victor's podium once again.

This form of the sport is also known as "pack style," because a pack of four skaters compete on a 111.12-meter track, with the winner being the first to cross the finish line. The four corners of the course are marked by rubber blocks. Skaters are allowed to enter the infield, but they have to pass outside the markers on the turns. A series of elimination heats are held, leading to the semi-finals and finals. Semi-final losers compete in their own final to determine fifth through eighth places.

History of the Quinte Blaades The Quinte Blades Speed Skating Club evolved in 1993 from a club that started with a few Special Olympic skaters named the Belleville Blades to become one of the top Speed Skating clubs in Ontario. A skating program was initiated for students attending the William R. Kirk School in Belleville. Lorrie Roebuck whose daughter Dianne attended the school convinced the school board to let her coach the skaters for an hour a week on ice donated by the City of Belleville. The skaters were known as the Belleville Blades. Approximately 20 athletes were involved skating on hockey or figure skates. In February 1991, several of the skaters participated in speed skating events at the Special Olympic Provincial Winter Games in Barrie. John Newnham, Mike Mainse, Les Holmes and Cathy Sonnenburgh were selected to travel to Saskatoon for the 1992 Special Olympic Canadian Winter Games. In the meantime, Ann Watson, who had recently moved to Belleville and was a "speed skater", joined Lorrie in the training of these skaters and accompanied them to Saskatoon. John Newnham and Mike Mainse were selected after the competition in Saskatoon to represent Canada in Austria at the World Special Olympic Winter Games in Saltzburg in 1993.

Back to Explainer Index : Mike Hewitt/Allsport HISTORY Ice skates first appeared in northern Europe around 300 AD. Made from wood, bone or antlers, skates helped primitive hunters capture wild animals on the fjords and icy terrain. The early bone skate was fastened with straps to boots made from animal skins. The first all-iron skates appear in Scotland. Speed skating soon becomes the first form of skating to become a sport, beating out figure skating and ice hockey. American E.W. Bushnell creates the first all-steel skate. Light and strong, the blades do not require the frequent sharpening of iron runners. Bushnell's creation revolutionizes skating sports. Netherlands hosts the first speed skating World Championships, which bring together the Dutch, Russian, American and English champions. The International Skating Union is founded to govern speed skating and figure skating. Men's speed skating debuts at the first Olympic Winter Games, held in Chamonix, France. American Charles Jewtraw captures gold in the 500-meter race. Women's speed skating debuts at the Olympic Winter Games in Squaw Valley, Calif.

ESPN Network: ESPN.com NBA.com NHL.com WNBA.com ... Other sports ALSO SEE Blair marches to record fifth gold medal Greatest: Bonnie Blair Blair is special ... but she doesn't know it By Larry Schwartz Special to ESPN.com "I remember skating around with one of the guys on the [Olympic] team and asking who's that and pointing to different people out there. And he says that would be Karen Kania [of East Germany] and you will be skating against her. And I thought, That was a girl? She's as big as some of the guys on our team. I've got to compete against that?" says Bonnie Blair on ESPN Classic's SportsCentury series. The story of her birth on March 18, 1964 sounds like a fairy tale. The heroine's dad, Charlie, who had fathered four speed skaters among his five children, decided it would be better if he took the kids to a meet while mom gave birth. Soon after dropping his wife Eleanor at the hospital, Charlie, the timer at the meet in Yonkers, N.Y, heard the public-address announcer tell the crowd, "It looks like Charlie's family has just added another skater." Bonnie Blair won two gold medals at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Norway.
