“A very big thank you to the Guidant John Rose Minnesota Oval, the Midway Speedskating Club, and all of the volunteers, officials, athletes, coaches and parents for an outstanding long weekend of racing.,” commented Regional Development Coordinator Dave Tamburino. “It was wonderful to see long track speed skating return to its outdoor roots for one of the biggest domestic competitions many of our Junior skaters will participate in this season.”
Congratulations to everyone, especially those who will be representing the United States at the 2022 ISU Junior World Championships - Long Track and the ISU Junior World Cup Final events in Innsbruck, Austria. We wish them the very best of luck and are excited to support them in the months and years ahead!
