The 11th SkiErg World Sprints took place November 8-11. Over 2000 people from 34 countries competed in our 1000m virtual festival of the SkiErg.

Phil Clapp's split times for his 1000m.

Six world records were set (highlighted in bold below), and the fastest man and woman in the world both set new marks. For the men, Phil Clapp from Great Britain set a time of 2:49.0 to win the Men's 19-29 age group. The performance of the SkiErg Sprints, however, arguably came from the second fastest man, when Marius Tyrdal Sandmael (Norway) pulled a 2:50.5 to take nearly three seconds off his own Men's 40-49 age group record. The most dominant winner was probably Australia's Kate Hilliard. Not only did she break her own 19-29 Women's age group record with a time of 3:20.0, she was over 8 seconds faster than the next overall woman. Age group winners and top times in each adaptive category will each receive engraved cowbells to recognize their achievement.
