Speed Skating
Short and Long Track Speed Skating were Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) scholarship sports from 2000 to 2014.
The short track speed skating program commenced in 2000, while the first long track speed skating athletes began in 2011. The programs operated from Melbourne as part of the Olympic Winter Institute.
Both programs concluded in 2013/14 when the AIS transitioned out of athlete scholarships and sport programs.
At the conclusion of the AIS programs, responsibility for coaches, athletes and programs was transferred to the principal National Sporting Organisation for speed skating at the time.
This page includes athletes who were on AIS scholarship for at least three months consecutively. All reasonable efforts have been made to ensure that the information is accurate and comprehensive.
