You just have to be fast enough, doesn't usually happen until your around 19-23.
Speed skating requires good equipment and good form. In general the lower one can keep his body the faster one will go. More information can be found at US Speed Skating, and Ellis Method.
The Speed skating skates have no stopper but if you are good at speed skating you don't need them. They have very large wheels to make them go faster. They don't have any ankle support so you must have very strong ankles, but if only just starting speed skating your ankles will get stronger as you progress.
As far as total medals go, England has won their most Summer Olympic medals in athletics and their most Winter Olympic medals in figure skating.
I'm not sure what your talking about, but as you go to the start it's: "go to the start.... reaaady.....GO!!"
yes . of course swiming will increase our speed in skating as it increases our stamina and also helps in arm development as speed skater needs his power po hands to go faster and keep him in motion . legs also get stronger and can help you in heavy work outs durng the skating practice . ( technical skating for speed roller skaters) but swiming should be done atleast 4-5 hours befor skating
Cindey Klassen didn't make any money from speed skating. Skating is a non-profit sport, she obviously go money through sponsors and suck, but skating itself, doesn't give money. Just the Joy of winning, and the loveof the sport.
They always were short sleeve shirts and shorts because when you speed skate you have to go really fast and you get hot really quick but some speed skaters buy speed skating uniforms that are very light and very stretchy so you can move your legs easily.
The blade is called a clap. Go to: http://visual.merriam-webster.com/images/sports-games/winter-sports/speed-skating/speed-skates.jpg for a great image on clap skates and fixed blades.
Speed Skaters can go up to 60km an hour.The International Skating Union (ISU) was founded in 1892 in Scheveningen, Netherlands, and has governed speed skating since its inception.Speed skating giant, Eric Heiden (Madison, Wisconsin) produced the greatest single feat in Winter Olympic history when he won all five events at the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics.The only other person besides Heiden to sweep available speed skating medals was Lydia Skoblikova of the Soviet Union. Not only did she win double golds at Squaw Valley, she returned to Innsbruck in 1964 to win gold medals in the 500m, 1,000m, 1,500m and 3,000m events.In the winter of 1997, klap skates were introduced. These skates featured a spring-loaded front hinge, which allowed skaters to raise their heels off the blade. The skate got its name from the clapping sound made when the blade reconnects with the metal base.In 1960, Squaw Valley Winter Olympics, women's speed skating events were added to the Olympic event roster.

It means to go to a skating rink (either ice skating or roller skating), putting on skates, and then skating. The form of skates and the type of rink you need depends on what type of skating you wish to do.
Try your best without trying to push and kill people. Go as fast as you can and try your best:)
