Extractions: During competition judges take notes to record what elements a skater or pair completes, noting the quality of each jump, jump combination, jump sequence, spin, and footwork/field movement sequence. Even though two skaters may complete the same number and level of jumps, there may be a difference in quality. Things that help differentiate between jump skills are: speed and flow on entry and exit, air position (proper backspin position versus a wrapped free leg), correct technique on take-off, and the height and distance achieved. All are criteria that apply to jump combinations or a series of jumps. Judges also assess ice coverage and consistency in the height of each jump in the combinations or series. In spins and spin combinations judges look for proper and aesthetically pleasing positions, speed and number of revolutions, the amount of height obtained in flying spins and the ability to centre and control on entry and exit.

Extractions: How it's won Skaters race in pairs counter-clockwise around a 400m oval rink. They race against the not the other skater. There are many rounds of competition, and only the skaters with the fastest times continue into the next round of racing. The skater with the fastest time in the final round of the event, wins. How it's done The start of a speed skating race is the most important part. It needs to be powerful and explosive. Skaters can reach speeds of up to 60 kilometres per hour during a race. Concentration and proper technique become important after the start. Skaters often keep one hand behind their back in long distance races - to prevent the affects of wind. There are several events in speed skating. The rules are basically the same in all of them, but the lengths of the races are different. Equipment The skate blade is very long - between 42 and 46cm. Until 1998, the skate blade was fixed to the bottom of the skate boot. A new skate was allowed at the 1998 Nagano Games. It was called the "clap" and it has been used ever since. The heel of the boot detaches itself from the skate blade with every push off the ice. This keeps the blade on the ice longer, so the skater goes faster. The name "clap" refers to the sound made by the spring as the boot snaps back against the skate.
