Shouldn’t they all be skating the same direction on the figure eight? The guys in the orange/black and teal are going to meet the guy in the black/grey on the curve in front of Tank!
That adds to the fun/challenge. They all start at the same line - half in one direction and half in the other.

Hey, Figure-8 demolition derby racing is outstanding, doing it with speed skaters should be fun too!

Who says figure 8 on ice has to follow car racing rules? You Nascar guys, all alike.

I’m personally just enchanted by the lovely diaphanous costumes on the pairs skaters. The women don’t look too bad either.

Wow, you’re right, rwebb385–er–I mean–YES, it was intentional. To make it more–challenging. Yeah, that’s the ticket…

Back in my youth they had roller derby on a circular track. Once they tried to bring it back (before today’s all woman teams) on a figure 8 track.
