The 2025 ISU World Short Track Speed Skating Championships, held from March 14-16 at the Capital Indoor Stadium in Beijing, China, showcased some of the finest talents in the sport. Great Britain made a notable impact with their performances, demonstrating their growing prowess in short track speed skating.
Great Britain sent a team of six skaters to the championships, competing in various individual and relay events.
Women: Annabelle Green
Men: Niall Treacy, Kyle Ross-Waddell, Peter Riches, Theo Collins, Westley Yates.
In the men's events, British skater Niall Treacy delivered a commendable performance in the 500m finishing in 13th place, with a new British record!
In the women's 500m event, Annabelle Green stood out with her impressive rapid start, ultimately securing a 23rd place finish.
One of the most exciting moments for Great Britain came in the 5000m relay. The British team worked seamlessly together to qualify for the finals, making it for the first time in over a decade. Their coordination and speed were impressive, and they finished in a very respectable 5th place.
The 2025 World Championships were a significant step forward for Great Britain's short track speed skating program. As they continue to build into the Olympic cycle next year, they are showing promise that they have what it takes to compete against the best at the highest level.
As the team returns to the UK, they will take a well-earned break from competition and training. This respite will allow them to recharge and prepare for what is likely the most important season of their lives. With the 2026 Olympics on the horizon, Great Britain aims to build on their achievements in Beijing and strive for even greater success.
