1912
short track speed skating was introduced as a demonstration sport at the 1988 winter olympics in calgary, alberta in canada. it was upgraded to a full olympic sport in 1992 and has been part of the winter olympics ever since. there were only four short track events in the 1992 winter games, but the programme was expanded to include six events in 1994 and 1998, and finally eight events in the 2002 winter games. the events are the same for both men and women: 500 meters, 1000 meters, 1500 meters, plus the relay event (5000 meters for men, 3000 meters for women). a 3000 meter super-final event is included in the european and world championships, but this is not currently part of the olympic short track programme.
