What better place to break the world ice skating speed record than the vast expanses of ice in the LuleƄ archipelago in northern Sweden?
Dutch Olympic medal-winner Kjeld Nuis on Thursday reached a record-breaking 93kph, skating behind a car dragging a specially designed aeroshield to reduce air resistance.

Me neither...
When I last went skating, in Hastings, around 1985, I fell over and hurt my knee, so I stopped trying and went off for a cooling beer.
The music was by Frankie goes to Hollywood, so perhaps that's why I was unable to stay vertical for more than thirty seconds!
I once did the four minute mile. I was on my racing bike behind a high speed tram.
Scrobs - are you sure it wasn't the beer?
Demetrius - in Nottingham there have been stories of racing bike wheels becoming stuck in tram tracks.
