World Skate has entered a partnership with Velopro Speed Systems to standardise and improve how speed skating competitions are managed worldwide. The collaboration gives federations, clubs, organisers and officials a single digital platform to run events with greater efficiency, accuracy and transparency.

For years, competition management has depended on spreadsheets, manual calculations and paper-based workflows. Velopro replaces these with an integrated system that handles every stage of an event, from athlete registration and federation roster imports, automated heat generation, round progression, sanction enforcement, qualification management and real-time public results.

The result is a lighter operational load and fewer errors: tasks that once required a full team of officials and hours of manual work can now be handled by a single trained official, with consistent standards across competitions of every level, from local races to international championships.

For World Skate, the partnership is part of a wider commitment to raising the professional standard of its disciplines through technology. By adopting a common, purpose-built platform, the federation aims to give the global speed skating community faster, more reliable and more accessible competitions.

Velopro Speed Systems is powered by Venueserve International (VSI).
