ORDA congratulates these athletes for their record-setting performances. Their achievements were part of three days of high-speed short track competition staged in the arena named for one of Lake Placid’s early speedskating legends.
These records set the stage for more short track greatness as ORDA’s venues will be host to a dozen winter sports, including short track speedskating, at next winter’s 2023 FISU World University Games, January 12 through 22.
