We're Just Wild About Harry!

Great to see Harry Spragg back on the ice. Harry will be well known to those whose involvement with short track in this country (and in Great Britain) stretches into the deep dark past.

Harry was game enough to jump in the deep end - getting involved in most of our activities including accelerations and even some relay!

More Short Track Information and History

Mike O'Dea from England wrote to me and informed me that he has a copy of the 1978 World Short Track Championships video that he is in the process of converting and editing.

Mike has a site about UK short track which provides some information and history on speed skating in the United Kingdom. He informed me that he will be posting the video of the 1978 championships on his site in the near future, and I'll post the link here when it is completed - definitely something to look out for.

In the meantime, his site is well worth a look at with some 'back in the day' video footage in the archives.

By the way, Mike is 62 and still skating, having competed in this years British Short Track Championships held in Dundee, Scotland, finishing 6th out of 11 masters competitors - nice work!

Thanks Mike
