Speedskating has been a tradition in Manitoba for many years. Athletes starting with Frank Stack from the 1930s up to recent medal winners at the 2002 games have had success on the international stage. The Sargent Park Speedskating Oval, recently renamed the Susan Auch Speed Skating Oval, can be credited with much of this success.
