==Speed Skating 500m==
[[Image:Iceskating Vancouver.jpg|thumb|'''Speed Skating 500m''']]
This is the main and 1st variation of Speed Skating. Like many events, as soon as GO! appears on the screen, the Wiimote is shaked down. Then, for the first seconds of the race, the Wii Remote is countinuously shaked. Soon, the player must flick the Wii Remote to the Left, to the Right, to the left etc. The trick is to shake it left-right-left-right in rhythm, not to quick and not to slow. In the last few seconds of the race (the game calls it "Final Sprint"), the player quickly shaked the Wii Remote up and down as fast as possible.
Also, once in the race, you can press the "A" button for a Speed Boost.
In the DS version, the event is played the same way but with a different set of buttons. The buttons that is used in the event are the shoulder buttons, "L" and "R". To boost start, hold the shoulder buttons when "2" appears on the game screen and let go when "GO" appears. Then the player presses the shoulder buttons alternately to accelerate. Once you reach a corner, hold "R" while pressing "L" to do a sharp turn. If you want to finish the race, use the shoulder buttons to do a... FINAL SPRINT!!

==Short Track 1,000m==
Short Track 1,000m is the second variation of Speed Skating. The change is that the stadium is now 250 meters. The Player must skate 4 laps round the stadium to make 1,000m.

==Short Track Relay==
The third variation of Speed Skating. It's similar to Short Track 1,000m. The Player skates 2 laps round the stadium with each player in 4 teams.

==Short Track 500m==
Variation number 4 in Speed Skating is the Short Track 500m. Again, just like the first variation, the shoulder buttons is used in this DS event. The player must do 4 laps around the track. The first 3 laps is 112.5m each which totals 337.5m and the 4th lap has the player to do the remaining 162.5m to finish your race.

==[[Omega]] Boss==
In the Wii and DS version, Omega is played against in this event. The event play's just the same as normal, only against a boss/rival. Omega is a non-playable player and is only faced in Festival Mode. He is fought in Speed Skating 500m in Individual Festival and Short Track Relay in Team Festival.

==Trivia==
*The name speed skating is very similar to speed stacking.
