World Masters Games

From Ellis Southie:

Hi Everyone,The 2009 Sydney Masters Games organisers have advised that Short Track will not be part of the program of events due to the policy of having only summer sports.However they have announced that the town of Bled in Slovenia will host the first World Winter Masters Games in 2010 and that Short Track will most likely be one of the sports on the program.

Regards
Ellis

I suggest this gives all the world masters time to save up to make it to the first World Winter Masters Games and to make them a success.

Here is a site for Bled in Slovenia. Thanks to Andrew McNee for providing this information.

National Records

I have started a list of the different national records that I have located off the net. The first ones posted are the British and Scottish records.

If anyone has access to their country's masters national records that are not listed here, please let me know and send them to me and I will post them up.

I will post up the Australian masters records as soon as they are updated by the AIR as a restructure of the age groups has seen new records set over the last few months and these need to be ratified.

Australian Masters

Although this site is dedicated to short track speed skating, I will be slowly adding a list of Australian speed skaters and their past successes in both short track and long track.

All these skaters will be at least in the 35-and-over age bracket, but their results have shaped the sport in Australia, some with their skating, and then later contributing as world-class equipment producers.

If there are any Australian skaters that you would specifically like researched, then drop me a line and I'll do my best to supply their skating bios.

Welcome

I wanted to commence a blog after a fellow skater, Andrew McNee, started a very successful site about Australian short track speed skating.
Just over twelve months ago, I got the old skates back on and remembered the fun of skating around that 111m oval.
Now that I'm a veteran/master class skater and just starting to travel the world, I have found that there is very limited information about events for us older class of skater who want to have some seriously fun racing.
My goal is to use this blog as an information sharing portal for all areas of the world. I use for example, the fact that I will be travelling to Europe in a few weeks, but I have found very little information about any short track events, and found it even harder to try and find a long track event to skate at.
Feel free to post any competitions or results or send me an email with details or news at thenewbordersecurity@aapt.net.au,

Cheers
Frank
