Ahn

As Viktor Ahn already had won medals in WC as part of Russian Team it seems his new name and nationality should be mentioned EgorKulikov (talk) 09:41, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

World Championships

• World Championships have been held since 1981 (though _earlier events later_ also received that status)

What does this mean exactly?--Bltpdx 20:41, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

The author is trying to say that competitions prior to 1981 were later recognized as World Championships. However, the ISU does recognize them as such. The 1976 and 1977 competitions are called the "World Short Track Competitions", and the 1978-1980 meets are the "ISU Short Track Championships".--Adamsmith 22:06, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Injuries

Some info on injuries might be useful. The Dutch article shows a picture of a dyneema protective suit.

Rules Section

Would it be a good contribution to this article to add a section on rules to short track speed skating, such as disqualifications in races? I am a recreational skater in Canada with a basic level of coaching certification and planning on adding this section, and so I was wondering if this would improve the article. Faranya 22:06, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes it would be a good idera-- I came here to learn the rules specificaly for what prompts a DQ and/or a restart. APC

The official ISU rules ([1]) give the needed information about the rules, the Dutch article is also based on those rules. VincentBaas 07:15, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

History

While expanding the Dutch article about this subject I discovered that there are multiple stories about the origin of short track speed skating. Some stories say it's from the United States, others say the UK. Does someone know more about this? This information could also be useful for this article. VincentBaas 19:18, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

dominant country

Should that paragraph even be there? And to say that South Korea is the dominant nation in men's short track, when a table just a bit below it shows a lot more Canadian and American medals, doesn't make a lot of sense. Surfbruddah (talk) 04:30, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

It might make sense to note that South Korea is CURRENTLY the dominant nation, as they have had great success in the recent world championships and Olympics, but some time-related note would likely help clear up confusion with the table 67.180.248.131 (talk) 07:07, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

I went ahead and removed the two sentences. If someone wants to write out something that explains how the sport evolved to how it is today, then they can elaborate. As it was, it was mostly an "opinion" if it didn't include how those Canadian skaters have large medal counts. etc. oncamera^(t) 00:55, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Rules

I would like a bit more detail to the rules, and more about it's history. Thanks :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.145.164.4 (talk) 11:36, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

It seems strange in an article about short track not to mention the crashes and influence of fouls on results, notably Stephen Bradbury's win in 2002.141.156.187.235 (talk) 04:15, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Most points in overall classification

at Olympics, World Chs and Contitnetal Chs for men and women added to WR section?? 213.149.61.6 (talk) 19:37, 23 November 2017 (UTC)

World Records at sea level

Are there any information about Sea level world bests? Out of 10 WRs 4 were not set in Salt Lake City or Calgary which are 1000+m above sea level. This results are kept separately in long track speed skating so I see no reason why they wouldn't be kept in short track. 213.149.51.36 (talk) 08:52, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

There are not. Short Track is more about racing than record-setting. See Rule 292 for more information. 207.34.149.118 (talk) 23:52, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

Notable skaters

As I read it skaters should at least have won 3 gold medals in Olympics + World Championships (Overall) to enter this section. Then why is Arianna Fontana named in the women table? — Preceding unsigned comment added by NankoBouman (talk • contribs) 21:42, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

Beacuse she has the most combined medals in total for these two championships. Best regards Migrant (talk – contribs) 07:54, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

• Short track speed skating → Short-track speed skating
• Long track speed skating → Long-track speed skating

– This is not the case of "track speed skating" that is either short or long. It's the track that is short or long, i.e. it's the case of compound modifiers (see section Examples). HandsomeFella (talk) 20:32, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

• Support – Using the affordances of English grammar to help the reader parse long compounds is always a good thing. Dicklyon (talk) 17:53, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Follow-up hyphenation

No such user (talk · contribs) moved the main category following this page move, and listed at Category talk:Short-track speed skating the sub-categories "that would need to be moved", but apparently did nothing further to move the sub-categories.

Although the move of the main article accords with Wikipedia's MOS, it is inconsistent with ISU Short Track Speed Skating World Cup, World Short Track Speed Skating Championships and external usage. I am not sure whether further moves should go ahead, or whether to reopen the page move discussion. – Fayenatic London 10:41, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

I think admins can mass move a lot of pages per WP:MASSMOVE or if categories need to be renamed per WP:CFDS.  oncamera  _{(talk page)} 21:08, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
