Schaatsforum

Schaatsforum.nl is an online community for skating fans, bringing together people interested in competitive skating, technique, training, equipment, natural ice and skating tours. Its discussion forums cover major events, including the Olympic Games, long-track speed skating championships and World Cup competitions, as well as marathons, short track and the Elfstedentocht. Members can follow race news, discuss results and share photos and videos.

The site also supports practical conversations about skating skills, training methods, skate equipment, clothing, sharpening and ice rinks. Product reviews and discussions give members a place to exchange views on gear and books. Dedicated sections share natural-ice tips across regions of the Netherlands and Belgium, with an archive of older ice reports. Beyond skating, the community includes forums for inline skating, cycling and related activities, plus a café for general conversation.

Members can introduce themselves, seek or offer skates, tickets, skating companions and rides, and take part in a free prediction game with prizes. Schaatsforum.nl also provides community news, administrator updates and information about sponsors and forum merchandise.
