Speed skating is a fast moving sport filled with adrenaline, occasionally accidents do happen.  Most of them are minors with scratches or bruises.  Here is one that happened during the flat track race.  The footage was taken at 240fps, in other words 8 times slower than normal speed.  You can also view it from YouTube here.

Personal Best for Jess

Jess has just taken part in the Worgl round of the European In Line Cup. This is what she had to say:

"A good weekends racing in Wörgl with some awesome weather. A PB in my 300 time trial, 28.3 and 5th place. Made the 500m final which is a good result for me and won both the long races because the team was working for me. So first in the overall long distance and 2 overall. Split the prize money between the 3 arma girls so came home with a new watch and 90 euro each. With a lot of help from Jenny and Josie these were my best results so far."

Jess's Progress

Here's a photo and video of Jess From the European Inline cup meet in Mechelen Belgium.
