There are several disciplines for Olympic speed skating, which are divided between men's and women's individual events, men's and women's team events, and a mixed team event.

500m (Men and Women) – Four skaters at a time race 1.25 laps around the track each heat.
1,000m (Men and Women) – Four skaters at a time race 2.5 laps around the track each heat with a staggered start.
1,500m (Men and Women) – Six skaters at a time race 3.75 laps around the track each heat with a staggered start.
3,000m (Women) –Six skaters at a time race 7.5 laps around the track each heat with a staggered start.
5,000m (Men and Women) – Two skaters at a time race 12.5 laps around the track each heat with a staggered start.
10,000m (Men) – Two skaters at a time race 25 laps around the track each heat.
Team Pursuit (Men and Women) – Two three-member teams start out from opposite sides and skate 6 laps. The ranking is based on the time that the third skater passes the finish line.
Mass Start (Men and Women) – A maximum 28 skaters race for 16 laps in opened racing track. During the race, there are three intermediate sprints every 4 laps.

The competitors who are the first three to cross the finishing line will win the race.
What Are The Rules For Olympic Speed Skating?
Also referred to as long track speed skating, speed skating involves a contest between two skaters who get a simultaneous start and race around the perimeter of a 400-meter-long track. The track is broken up into two courses, named the in and out course. Two-skater teams change lanes at designated areas around the track, the skater who thwarted in will go out and vice versa. Illegal moves include pushing other competitors, skating off track, impeding an opponent’s progress, kicking, or making two false starts will result in a DQ or expulsion. However, speed skating is the fastest non-mechanical sport there is, so most of the major speed skating rules concern anti-doping, as the International Skating Union has a list of banned substances and a very strict testing pool.
