........................................................................................................ 74 2 President Report To my friends in speed skating, In February 2018, Canada’s best speed skaters will meet the world at the Gangneung Oval and the Gangneung Ice Arena in PyeongChang, Korea. Speed Skating Canada’s highly-skilled coaching and IST staff will get those athletes to that start line in a position to win. Our job now is to support them any way we can; letting them do what as athletes and coaches they do best. To the staff and volunteers who have worked over the past three years to get athletes ready, the speed skating family in Canada says thank-you. Your Board of Directors spent the last year focused not just on PyeongChang, but also on the future of our sport. We have worked to make our sport stronger, not only for skaters in 2022 and (we hope in Calgary) in 2026, but for everyone who wants to spend their lives with the skating sport we love. This has meant changes to Speed Skating Canada. These have been difficult; good people have left. Speed Skating Canada benefited from the work of Ian Moss and Brian Rahill. In 2016/17 your Board has weighed the tough decisions and sought to find the best way to go past 2018. Speed Skating Canada’s staff and volunteer team have worked through this change, including the volunteers of the Officials Development Committee, the Competition Development Committee, the Coaching Development Committee, and the Sport Development Committee (formerly Club & Membership). We also recognize the work done by the Youth Development Fund Committee, the Finance and Audit Committee, and the Nominations Committee. Lastly, the High Performance Committees (Short Track and Long Track) have undergone changes this year, and face another, demanding Olympic team selection season. They serve us well. Change is hard. It comes with disruption, with challenges, and with frustrations. Your Board says an emphatic thank-you to SSC staff and volunteers who have worked through these changes and delivered programs and services this past year. We recognize Cynthia Dunford, Speed Skating Canada’s Director of Finance and Administration. She has been a steady hand, working with the new CEO. She has watched finances with a keen eye, and has been critical to our ability to present a surplus financial year. Janice Dawson has contributed much to sport development. Janice was key in Speed Skating Canada’s hosting of an ISU Short Track World Cup in November 2016 in Calgary and the ISU World Sprint Championships in February 2017, two very successful events. We put two well-organized speed skating events in front of Calgary’s Bid Exploration Committee. Danielle Gelineau in the national office has probably spoken to all of you in navigating the Member Management System. Thank you to Danielle

It doesn’t only come down to speed and stamina anymore, communication and cooperation are of the utmost importance. In the ladies’ event Japan and the Netherlands are the ones to watch and in the men’s event New Zealand are aiming for a historical first ever Speed Skating medal and the second medal in total for their nation at the Olympic Games. Whereas the four fastest teams from the quarter finals advanced to the semis, the event will continue as a knock-out competition in the next phase. The winners of the semifinals will race in the gold-medal race and the losers of the semifinals in the bronze-medal race. Individual speed versus team tactics The Dutch ladies won four of the five individual Speed Skating events so far, they skated an Olympic record in the quarterfinals and they will be defending their Sochi 2014 title, but they are no clear-cut favorites for the gold medal at PyeongChang 2018. Japan won nine of the last 11 World Cup races in this event, including each of the last six, and they hammered out a new world record in 2:50.87 at the Salt Lake City World Cup in December.

  • Prediction of Personalized Speed Skating Results Using Case-Based Reasoning
    Olof Andreas Bergman Olof Andreas Bergman Andreas Olof Prediction of personalized speed skating results using Case-Based Reasoning Master’s thesis in Artificial Intelligence Supervisor: Agnar Aamodt June 2019 Master’s thesis Master’s NTNU Engineering Department of Computer Science Department of Computer Faculty of Information Technology and Electrical Technology of Information Faculty Norwegian University of Science and Technology of Science University Norwegian Olof Andreas Bergman Prediction of personalized speed skating results using Case-Based Reasoning Master’s thesis in Artificial Intelligence Supervisor: Agnar Aamodt June 2019 Norwegian University of Science and Technology Faculty of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering Department of Computer Science Abstract Case-based reasoning (CBR) is an approach to problem-solving used in research for sports science in the past years. CBR is an intelligent experience-based solution solving system explained as similar problems have similar solutions, and easily adapted to various fields. In this work, we use case-based reasoning for predicting best possible finish-times for speed skaters given various external conditions. With inspiration from related research in recommendation systems for other sports, we studied a system handling the factors affecting speed skating and retrieving the most sim- ilar races for further prediction. The CBR system was modeled with the open-source software myCBR Workbench and SDK. This software retrieves cases with a restful API provided by the SDK based on the local-global similarity principle also defined in myCBR Workbench. Looking at the results, we conclude that a CBR system like this is suitable for our problem statement. Speed skating offers multiple non-numeric features that can make a signifi- cant difference in the results.

It also took Bruno Massot lifting her to the top step of the podium. Performing to music by Armand Amar, the German pair pranced and soared to a record 159.31 points in their free skate Thursday. That gave them 235.90 points, catapulting them from fourth place to fi rst and topping China’s Sui Wenjing and Han Cong by less than half a point. “We did New Year’s together,” the Ukraine-born Savchenko said, “and we said, ‘2018 will be our year,’ and it its. It’s just an amazing story, and I’m unbelievably happy.” Sui and Han, who led after the short program, made mistakes on their opening lift, a combination jump and side-by-side triple salchows. They recovered to skate a strong second half of the pro- gram, but the bobbles proved costly. They fi nished with 234.47 points, leaving them with a silver medal. Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford added bronze to the team gold they won with Canada, becoming the fi rst pair to land a quad throw in an Olympic competition. “We heard what the Germans did before us. We heard that score when we were on the ice,” Duhamel said.
