	History of the World Single Distance Speedskating Championships
		The World Sprint women's champion, who demolished her competition, looked to lay likewise waste on the fastest 2 races in the first (and what would be the only time before Inzell) outdoor WSD event.
		There was no possible way the last major speedskating championships of the 1900's could come close to topping Calgary, but that didn't stop this from presenting the first of only two ties in WSD history, and the continuation of the Postma-Sondral rivalry on the metric mile.

		Inside this bizarre-looking package — it looks a little like a huge cargo ship, docked in the middle of suburbia — are seven world records in five separate distances, set at both the World Single Distance Championships in March and at the Essent World Cup earlier this month.
		There were questions whether the oval would be ready to host the World Single Distance Championships in March and talk that the event would have to be held at the country's only other indoor oval in Wisconsin.
		The only known complaint made during the Essent World Cup was that there was a "horrible" food smell inside the building — but that came from German skater Sabine Voelker, who broke a world record in the ladies' 1,000 meters.
