I saw a feature story on KUTV this morning about this and it looks like such a fun event!
The Essent ISU World Cup Speed Skating (Kearns) will feature more than 200 top skaters from 25 countries gather at the Utah Olympic Oval for a World Cup event with serious ramifications for the upcoming Olympic Games.
Men and women from around the world square off in long-track distance races, vying for the fastest time while avoiding holes in the ice carved by local fishermen. On Saturday, fans congregate before the races for a Wild West-themed gathering with skating activities, bounce houses for children, and live music and entertainment.
If you missed it on the weekend round-up, there is a discounted coupon offer via Groupon. Pay $10 ($20 value) for FOUR tickets for a speed-skating World Cup event leading up to the Winter Olympic Games – choose dates between November 15-17.
