McAnuff To Close Out Season At Montreal Worlds

Sean McAnuff (28) will make his fourth appearance at an ISU Short Track Speed Skating World Championships when he takes to the ice this weekend (13-15 March) in Montreal, Canada.

It has been a long season for McAnuff who started out back in October at the Maurice Richard Arena in the ISU Short Track World Tour so he will get to close out 2025/2026 at the same venue.. Short Track Worlds were first held back in 1976. Ireland has been represented at every edition since 2017.

McAnuff starts racing on Friday, 13 March with the qualification rounds of the 500, 1000 and 1500 metre distances. Subsequent rounds, quarterfinals, semifinals and finals will take place on Saturday, 14 March and Sunday, 15 March.

“It’s special to finish the season here in Montreal,” McAnuff said. “I’m excited for the opportunity to give it everything this weekend as I close out my 10th season representing Ireland. It’s also great to share moments like this with the athletes around me, supporting each other and celebrating the hard work everyone has put in to get here.”

The ISU World Short Track Speed Skating Championships will be broadcast online on the Skating ISU YouTube channel. Geographical restrictions may apply. The results of the championships can be followed on the event results page and on social media via the #WorldShortTrack and #ShortTrackSkating hashtags.
