5.0 out of 5 stars Speedskating Facts, Awesome, December 28, 2002
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Basic Guide to Speed Skating (Official U.S. Olympic Sports) (Paperback)
This book is a must for one who
wants too know about the sports, and
those speedskaters, ice speedskaters,
who competed at the olympics. it has
so many chapters.
recommended. also i must say that
if you are looking for a training
guide for ice speedskating, long track or short
track. be sure to purchase Dianne Holum's book titled
the complete book of speedskating[i believe i got the whole
title right]. the book is rare, but it is considered the "Bible" of speedskating literature. it is a rare book. but get it.
