Notes from the organizer: Speed skating: a sport so named by someone who presumably was anticipating a companion event that involved skating as slowly as possible. Or maybe just to distinguish it from figure skating, but that's a much less interesting explanation.
A straight head-to-head knock-out competition; you'll have two weeks for every round.
