Medibank Icehouse is Australia’s new, world-class ice sports and entertainment venue.
From the moment your blades touch the ice, the thrill of ice racing will have you hooked: the adrenaline rush as you fly into the corners at unbelievable speeds, the excitement of the inside pass, the tactics required to give you the edge over your opponents and, finally, the win.
Short track speed skating is an Olympic sport combining strength, fitness, strategy and fearlessness to produce athletes who push themselves to the extreme as they race toward the line.
Short track speed skating is just one of the exciting sports on offer at Medibank Icehouse, so why not come down and give it a go? You could be the next Steven Bradbury.
Races, held on a 111 metre track, pit four to eight skaters against each other over distances of 500 to 3000 metres. Relay races test four-person teams over a 5000 metre run.
Short track speed skating has a worldwide following. It is particularly popular in China, Korea and Canada. Since the 2002 Winter Olympics, ice racing athlete numbers have surged in Australia and across the globe.
Australian Ice Racing (AIR) holds training sessions and competitions for people of all ages and ability.
