Competition

When Sprint World Championships four routes are run, twice each over a distance of 500 m and 1,000 m, on both days, two routes are ever run. If a sportsman starts on the inner race over a distance on the first day, it starts on the second day to the outer track and vice versa. Only the top 24 men and women after three routes qualify for the fourth line.
