  • Short Track History
    A Brief History of Indoor Short Track - by John Hurdis (Wording in squared brackets [ ] added by the author after publication.) Part One: Beginnings While Canada and the United States of America can claim to have originated Indoor Short Track Speed Skating competitions in 1905/06, countries like Great Britain, Australia, Belgium, France and Japan deserve a great deal of credit. Both the Canadian and Americans held mass start competitions on the now accepted oval track as early as [1906] and in later years the International Skating Union of America called the winners of these events "World Champions"! This was no doubt because the world governing body, the International Skating Union (I.S.U.), [based in Switzerland], did not at that time recognize indoor speed skating. These two countries have the honor of maintaining the longest running International Indoor championships in indoor speed skating which they organized in [1906]; [and in 1921] they also introduced into the program competitions for Ladies. In 1946 at Johannesburg, South Africa there was a club practising indoor speed skating and in 1948, Frank Stack and Gordon Audley of Canada competed in London, England against top skaters from the Aldwych club prior to their participation in the 1948 Winter Olympics. (it should be pointed out that Stack was 48 years old at the time and has enjoyed a long successful career in indoor speed skating competitions in North America). As early as the late 40's, the London (Aldwych) and the Birmingham Mohawks [early 50's] clubs of Great Britain had already entertained teams from Belgium and France and return matches had been staged on the Continent of Europe.

INTRODUCTION A neglected aspect of dispute resolution in the international sports arena involves disputes involving the technical rules of the game and their application by judges and officials. The contrived or artificial nature of conflict in the sports arena presents unusual, if not unique, issues of dispute resolution. Although some sports provide for the resolution of disputes during competition - one example is the America's Cup race jury in sailing - the rules of the game, or simply rules of competition, are generally immune from legal challenge. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has articulated a rule of non-interference in rules of the game and their application. Consequently, in the waning moments of a football (soccer) game, players cannot seek to enjoin further play until the constitutionality of a penalty is reviewed. A yellow warning card or a red ejection is generally final.
