2003 Worlds 500m: This race has it all; 4 fast skaters going for 3 world championship medals, loads of fans, an enthusiastic tv announcer, a fight- but what impressed me the most was Venezuela’s Fabian Arcila’s use of the bank to pass Italy’s Luca Presti going into the final corner- see mundial patinaje venezuela 500 mts or press play below-

Peter do you think you could find the world junior championships in China live results somewhere?
Hey there- are you talking ice (long track or short track) or inline? And what year?
long track, China, this week-end!!!
thanks!
Ok, that’s what I thought. I’ve been digging and I’ve had no luck. The ISU site is in a bad mood- there are a few sites that will likely have links or results, including KNSB.nl and Speedskateingresults.com I hope speed skate world online mag puts up some news as well.
I don’t think they’ve started to race yet… I’ll put up what I find tomorrow.
They start at 2 in the morning in our time… so tomorrow morning we’ll have something…but where!
Hi Peter,
Any chance you know the name of the New zealand guy that started the fight afterr the 2003 inline worlds 500m?
Grtz
Arno
Hi there Arno- it’s Wayne Begg. He’s the one who was beside Arcila at the start of the race and fell.
Thnx Peter,
Best inline vid ever. Too bad the quality is poor.
Great site, keep up the good work.
