We Tried Speed Skating On Ice With A Pro

Like most winter sports, speed skating is another activity that Norway tends to excel at. Essentially ice skating done fast, speed skating is an Olympic sport where competitors race around an ice covered track to achieve the fastest time.

We had Norwegian women’s speed skating pro Aurora Lovas to show us the ropes. She’s won various speed skating world championships and has her sights set on the 2026 Winter speed skating Olympics, so we were in safe hands.

At the iconic ‘Vikingskipet’ Olympic ice skating training centre in Hamar, Norway, is where a lot of professional ice skaters and speed skating go to train, as it has as a full sized speed skating short track.

There’s also a large crossover between ice skating and skating skiing, so this was the perfect opportunity to practice our skating exercises and techniques for both. Speed skating was a fun but very hard sport, but speed skating is something we 100% want to try again.

We were amazed at how fast these speed skaters can fly around the track, and Aurora definitely proved her expertise with a race at the end.
Will our Half british and half dutch speed skating champion show skills like the famous Jutta Leerdam short track champion? Or he will he even break the record of the short track speed skating champ Kjeld Nuis?

When it comes to speed skating women, Aurora Løvås is the big Speed skating short track olympic hope of norway. The speed skating woman of norway are not to be messed with.
