2010 Speed Skating - Men's Tickets

Men's speedskating has been an Olympic sport since 1924, which was the first winter games.

There are currently five different events in the long track speed skating, ranging in distances from sprint to marathon.

There are events for 500, 1,000, 1,500, 5,000, and 10,000 meters, which differs slightly from the women.

The United States has had significant success in the sport and took home eight medals in the 2006 Olympics.

Eric Heiden and Dan Jansen are the two skaters that really put men's speedskating on the map.

Heiden won five gold medals, all of them coming at the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, N.Y.

Despite his immense talent, Jansen managed to win just one gold medal during Olympic competition.

However, the fact that it came in a record-setting performance after falling twice in 1992 on the same day his sister died and then tumbling again in 1994 made Americans thrilled to see him finally win.

You can be sure that the team will once again be looking to do serious damage at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
