USANA Olympic Spotlight: US Speedskating


Speed skating has come a long way since the people of Holland strapped iron skates onto wooden soles as a means of transportation in the 13th century. Today, the sport is the fastest human powered, non-mechanical aided sport in the world in which skaters can reach speeds over 60 km per hour.

The sport has a long Olympic history: Men’s speed skating has been part of the Olympics since the first Winter Games were held in Chamonix in 1924. Women’s speed skating became a full medal event in 1960. Short track was added in 1992. And team pursuit was just introduced as an Olympic event at the Torino 2006 Winter Games.

Team US Speedskating has long dominated all distances of the sport. They have won a total of 75 Olympic medals since 1924, and they won the most total medals (10) for the United States in Torino. In fact, speedskating has been the “winningest” sport for the US in Olympic history. This year, the team is poised for a repeat performance. In recent Olympic-qualifying events, many American records have been shattered in both men’s and women’s events at all distances. The competition promises to be fierce in February!

The US Speedskating Olympic team is packed with many superstars of speed skating, including Shani Davis, Katherine Reutter, and Chad Hedrick. The 2010 Olympic hopeful (and 2007 Dancing With The Stars winner) Apolo Anton Ohno is sure to be one to watch. One of the most well-known Olympians today, he has won an Olympic medal at every distance, and one more medal would make him the most decorated male Winter Olympian in American history!

USANA is proud to sponsor US Speedskating by providing them with nutritional supplements they can trust. Speed skating gets underway on February 13 and events are scheduled throughout the duration of the Olympics. Check the official 2010 Winter Olympics Web site for a full schedule.
