Best Answer

Top skaters in races have been recorded doing 14m/s which is about 48km/hr or 30 miles/hr.

62 kph (39 mph) for top skater in sprint

average is 28-35 mph for speed skaters as an average over distances.

Jeremy Wotherspoon holds the world record for the 500 meters in speed skating- 34.03 s; and Tucker Fredricks holds the US record for the 500 meters, 34.31 s.

Figure skaters are judged by how flawlessly they preform their artistic movements, and also if they followed their original routine or not. They are judged on how in sync they are to the chosen music, and if they are in pairs, how synchronized their spinning and jumping are. They are judged to see how many times they make a mistake or fall down, or touch their hands to the ice for too long. They are also judged by their movements and the attitude in the air.

Short track you have to wear alot of safety equipment, just search it on Wiki, and for long track you just have to wear skates.

There is no judging for speed skaters. The judges are there to enforce the rules, not provide scores.
