Inline speed skating is a competitive sport where athletes race on inline skates, which have wheels arranged in a single line. This sport can take place on various surfaces, including roads, tracks, and indoor rinks. Skaters aim to achieve high speeds while maintaining balance and control, often participating in individual or team events. Races can vary in distance, ranging from short sprints to long endurance events. Inline speed skating is governed by organizations like the International Roller Sports Federation and has gained popularity worldwide, with events held at local, national, and international levels, including the World Championships.
