Speed ​​skating world cup

This article covers the speed skating world cup in general. The current season is described under Speed ​​Skating World Cup 2019/20 .

Speed ​​skating

The Speed ​​Skating World Cup was introduced in the 1985/86 season. The competitions take place between November and March at up to nine different World Cup locations. In most events, not all, but only a selection of disciplines are run, whereby there are events in which only short distances (up to 1000 meters) and events in which only long distances (from 1500 meters) are run. For the first time in the 2011/12 season, an overall ranking called the “Grand World Cup” was introduced.

There are currently six disciplines each for women and men in the program. First of all, there are the individual distances of 500 meters, 1000 meters and 1500 meters and finally the long distance, which is a combination of 3000 and 5000 meters for women and 5000 and 10,000 meters for men. The 100-meter course, which was run for the first time in the 2003/04 season, was taken out of the program again from the 2009/10 season. Furthermore, this is the team pursuit that has been added since the 2005/06 season. In contrast to the implementation at the Olympic Games (in the program for the first time in 2006 at the Olympic Games in Turin), in which two teams run against each other, the winner progressing one round and the loser eliminated, the team competition at the World Cup is held as a pure time trial where each team only runs once and the team with the fastest overall time wins. The youngest discipline and thus the sixth discipline in the World Cup is the so-called mass start, which was first included in the World Cup program in the 2011/12 season. So far, the so-called team sprint has only been held as a demonstration competition at various World Cup events.

¹ The 3rd World Cup from January 18-19, 1986 was canceled. Therefore, there was no run for women over 5000 meters and over 10,000 meters for men this season.
² In the 1998/99 season, two men's 5000 meter races were only held over the 3000 meter distance.

• The following competitions will be held in the current 2013/14 season :
  • 500 meters (women / men): six appointments / twelve runs
    • with one start each on the inside and outside
  • 1000 meters (women / men): six dates
  • 1500 meters (women / men): six dates
  • 3000/5000 meters (women): six dates, five over 3000 m and one over 5000 m
  • 5000 / 10,000 meters (men): six appointments, five over 5000 m and one over 10,000 m
  • Mass start (women / men): two dates
  • Team competition (women / men): four dates, three starters per team (changing line-up)
    • Women run six laps and men eight laps on the inner lane
  • Team sprint (women / men): one appointment, three starters per team (changing line-up) as a demonstration competition

Current point system

On the basis of the last placements achieved, athletes participating in the respective competition are divided into either Division A or Division B. There are now two different point systems for each division. A distinction is made between whether Division A has up to 16 or more than 16 participants. There are increased World Cup points in the races of the World Cup finals, in which only Division A is entitled to participate.
