Rules
The rules are somewhat modified to give each skater a chance to do his/her best. The starter is for instance allowed to give the skaters a ample time to assume a balanced position after taking their marks, starting the sequence over if any skater is off-balance, not holding the skaters too long after the set signal, and starting the race over if a skater is interfered with or falls before the last apex block in the first curve.
