Rules and Regulations In Speed Skating, Skaters race in pairs, counter-clockwise, a draw determines the competition lane, and lane changes take place during each lap. The Skater who skates on the inner lane shall change to the outer lane in the crossing straight, defined as the straight between the end of the curve (as marked with moveable blocks) and the beginning of the next curve (as marked with a cone), and vice versa for the Skater who skates in the outer lane. A breach of this Rule will lead to disqualification. Exception for the 1000 and the 1500 meters: in the first straight when racing on a 400 meters standard track, there is no change of lanes.
