Good crowds, in Kazakhstan. Meh

 

Speed Skating doesn’t really get any crowds outside of the Netherlands, and a few select events here and there.

Absolutely horrid weather, small field of skaters, small crowd, but some great racing on the men’s side (and an awesome crash around 14:15 as well):

That weather looks awful. I love the cold weather, but even I would’ve stayed inside that day. Doesn’t seem like very many European skaters made the trip to . Another great track too. I’m seeing quite a nations in the World Rankings, so if Salt Lake wins the bid for 2030...

Opening World Championship (basically their version of a WC) is on next Saturday, in Winterleiten, Austria. I believe all events will be streamed on the ATSX Ice Cross Youtube channel, but not entirely sure on that.

Yeah, well Lost Valley goes out of its way to stay off the radar.

But seriously....did some internet research.   Seems Red Bull dropped the sport in 2019, so obviously a lot lower profile nowadays.  They can't have the Montreals or St Pauls anymore.  so no choice but to go to the smaller resorts.

The 2024 season just started in Winterleiten. Good opener with unexpected winner in men's competition. This sport is something new for me, but seems very interesting.
