Remaining short track speed skating World Cups canceled

The entire World Cup short track speed skating season has been canceled.

World Cups in Dresden and Bietigheim-Bissingen in Germany, slated for February, were the last two stops to be called off due to the coronavirus pandemic, the International Skating Union announced Friday.

Previously, November and December World Cups in Canada, South Korea and China were canceled.

The season-ending world championships are still scheduled for March in Dordrecht, Netherlands. Worlds were recently moved a week earlier and out of Rotterdam.

Last season’s world championships were among the first global sporting events to be canceled due to the virus.
