The Union Luxembourgeoise de Patinage de Vitesse (ULPV) has reported that the short track speed skating National Championships took place at Kockelscheuer ice rink last weekend.
A total of eighteen skaters took part; ULPV noted that several skaters were unable to join this year due to "family, school or other reasons".
Nevertheless, many of the participants set new personal bests (PBs) and it was the first time that electronic timing was used in the short track rink.
