McAnuff To Get 2025 Under Way At Short Track Euros
Sean McAnuff (27) lines up this weekend at the ISU European Short Track Speed Skating Championships in Dresden, Germany (17-19 January).
This will be McAnuff’s fifth time competing at Europeans. He had to sit out the entirety of last season due injury, but has been in fine form on his return to competition lowering the 500 metre Irish national record at last month’s ISU Short Track World Tour event in Seoul, South Korea. He will be among a field of over 120 athletes from 25 countries racing for top honours at an event that was first held in 1997. Skaters race against each other over 500, 1000 and 1500 metre distances.
“I am pleased to be starting off 2025 at the European Championships,” McAnuff said. “It’s a great opportunity to showcase the progress I have made over the last training period since World Tours 3 and 4. My goal is to have a personal best overall finish in each individual distance.”
The ISU European Short Track Speed Skating Championships will be broadcast 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 #ShortTrackSkating hashtag.
