Australian Open Short Track Championship

The Australian Open Short Track Championships is one of the premier events on the national ice racing calendar, bringing together the country's best short track athletes to compete for Australian Open titles and benchmark their performance against the nation's strongest competitors.

Held annually, the event showcases the speed, skill, tactics, and determination that define short track racing. Athletes compete across a range of distances and age categories, with every race providing valuable experience and an opportunity to test themselves against high-calibre competition.

For many skaters, the Australian Open serves as an important stepping stone in their development pathway, offering exposure to elite-level racing and the chance to achieve personal best performances. The event also plays a key role in athlete identification and preparation for future national and international opportunities.

Western Australian athletes have a proud history of competing at the Australian Open, demonstrating resilience, sportsmanship, and a commitment to excellence. The championships provide a fantastic opportunity for our skaters to represent Western Australia, build connections within the broader ice racing community, and gain invaluable race experience.

We wish all athletes, coaches, officials, and volunteers a successful and enjoyable Australian Open Short Track Championships and look forward to seeing outstanding performances on the ice.
