Speed skaters can reach impressive speeds, typically ranging from 30 to 40 miles per hour (48 to 64 kilometers per hour) during races. Elite male speed skaters often clock in at the higher end of this range, while female skaters generally reach speeds slightly lower. Factors such as technique, track conditions, and individual skill contribute to these maximum speeds. In record-setting performances, some skaters have been known to exceed these averages briefly.
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.
r=d/t is farmula of speed or uniform speed and its si unit is m/s.
