Speed skating is a Winter Olympic Games medal sport. The sport was revolutionized in the 1990s with the introduction of clap skates which can reduce lap times by one second. The sport was really professionalized in the Netherlands where it is hugely popular. A speed skater in the Netherlands can get large sponsor contracts.
