I know that all who follow the skaters will wish them, the coaching staff and support crew all the best for the World Cup season. Feel free to post your comments of support up here or on the Facebook page - Australian Speed Skating Supporter's Group

I will be in Berlin and Heerenveen for the first two world cups so I will endeavour to provide regular updates about the competitions and hopefully I will be able to take some photos and some video.
