What is the fastest someone has ice skated?

As of my last update, the fastest recorded speed on ice skates is 56.56 kilometers per hour (35.7 miles per hour), achieved by the Dutch speed skater Sven Kramer in 2016 during a competition in the Netherlands. This record highlights the incredible athleticism and technique involved in speed skating, especially in short-track events. Records may change, so it's always good to check for the latest updates in the sport.
