ST World Cup: The ISU Samsung Short Track World Cup came to a conclusion today- see all the final results here.

Andrew Love always puts it best; Short Track Eruption!. I was really hopeing he'd come up with something for this event!

Spot News: Speedskating-online's latest Spot News was posted a couple of days ago- I love the quotes;

'Some quotes:

Attack the corner
Go do your job!!
Hips, Hips, Hips, Hips, Hips
Skate, skate… come on skate'

Lots Of Videos: If you're looking to find all sorts of skating videos, then you've come to my site at the right time- you can use the links or press play under each linked video- enjoy!

The first video is a short track skating video called A Sticky Situation- it's a perfect name for this video of a few short track skaters who fall, and two of them are, well, stuck together.


This next video is a really good short track speed skating video with all sorts of racing and behind the scences footage- it's well put together- Wide eyed look at a Ponys first Nationals- Go to the Start-


This video is, well, strange- Rollerskating Monkey. I still don't think it's real.


Here's a video from Salt Lake City's ISU Samsung Short Track Speed Skating World Cup- it features Steve Robillard winning his 1000-meter heat- ST World Cup 1000M Heat-


Here's another video from the Salt Lake City ST WC; ST World Cup 1000M Heat Ryan-


Next video is awesome; it is from last weekend's Quebec City ISU Samsung Short Track Speed Skating World Cup- 07/08 6th ISU World Cup Short track (1500m Final A)-


The final video is just plain nuts; I thought it was going to be really really cheezy, but it's just insaine; An autobot on rollerblades. It also look really cool & fun...-


Plenty Of Tips: Looking for advice for your training program? There's always more and more resources popping up on the web.
