Kjeld Nuis comments on his 103km/h Ice Skating Speed World Record

Bros physics teacher really said “ignore air resistance”

Source silver skate festival "This record was previously held by German skater, Stefan Groothuis, who reached a speed of 150.6 kilometers per hour (93.5 miles per hour) in 2009. While these speeds may seem incredibly fast, they are actually quite slow when compared to the speeds that are achievable on inline skates or on a bicycle. On inline skates, the world record speed is currently held by American skater, Arne Kitze, who reached a speed of 222.149 kilometres per hour (138.129 miles per hour) in 2007."

Imagine hitting a rock or something in the ice 😮‍💨

Im training my whole life to get a new record

[mattpejic]

That was only possible because he had no drag .. props tho still crazy

[double_d_]

62 mph is flying on skates that's insane.

Wonder if you could’ve gone a bit faster if you were given a bit of a helping start.

Or you did, idrk

[iamkron]

It’s not fully him doing it the turbulent air inside the shield creates a vortex vacuum that helps to accelerate his speed like slip streaming in f1 to the extreme

[adriangoh]

At a few points he used the bar to keep speed…
But still awesome..

[LucasTanDingYang]

I think he got some help from the car‘s draft though

Likes the meme this one guy made said: When you have to ignore air resistance

[RealMTBAddict]

That is cheating. And I will say the same thing every time you post it.

[BooBuKittyPhuk]

He got to 103 kh it said on the original video which is 64 mph

It would be impressive if the air draft did not contribute anything to the outcome where the lack of air resistance or drag caused by a moving object pulls the object behind.

This is known as "aerodynamic drag" or "drag." In physics, drag is the force that opposes the motion of an object through a fluid (like air or water) and acts in the direction opposite to the object's velocity. It can indeed pull an object when it's moving through a fluid medium.

Speed skaters use the draft all the time.
Do this stunt without a vehicle in front of you for full credit.
