Thanks for the invitation to be a part of the coaches panel, I had a lot of fun discussing the topics with my fellow colleagues. Looking forward to Part 2! Happy New Year GSN
So cool to sit and listen to these legends!
It would be awesome to ask how the training has evolved in speedskating starting from 2000 to 2024
We will definitely be asking this on the next one!
What an amazing conversation! Truly inspiring!
Really sick! Would be nice to see Bob Corby on here
He might be on the next one😜
@@Globalskatingnetwork nice cant wait!
Really insightful questions!
@ianfreder and I were tossing around some potential new event ideas, we came up with a couple that seemed safe and spectator friendly:
1) 800m Pack - run in heats with advancements like a 500m in ST - 5 skaters lined up in the inner and outer lanes.
An entire new ISU LT Pack series:
1) Mass Start - at least 40 laps with up to four athletes per country
2) Elimination - need to develop wearable transponder that vibrates and flashes if you are in last place
3) Points - similar to inline track events
Thoughts?
Danny & Ian, thanks for the thoughts. Only issue with your ideas is that LT historically is a time-trial based sport. While ST is a pack-style based sport. The ISU TC can't stray too far from that principle. Also, Dutch TV is what drives the health of LT, that's just the reality of it. Without that contract, the sport is doomed, and many Dutch/Norwegian fans are traditionalists and are opposed to changes from the original time-trial events. Many of them still wish the TP & MS events weren't a part of the competition program.
@@ryanshimabukuro3283 completely understand the view of the ISU TC - TT's are beautiful and important to preserve, I don't think anyone wants to change that format. It might be good for the ISU TC to propose a complimentary World Cup circuit where pack/mass start/team events would be competed.
Really grateful for this
It would also be nice to ask how you can implement the polarized training in speedskating since you are building so much lactate and you can only do 2/3 hard sessions per week. That means that you can only do 3 ice sessions per week.
Is the sport growing or shrinking in the US and globally? If growing, what is making it grow? If shrinking, what can we do to grow it?
Somewhat related -- I wondered if there was any effort to recruit and grow skaters from countries that don't have access to ice but have strong inline talent like Columbia, etc.
