World Allround Speed Skating Championships live stream 2024: How to watch free online

The 2024 World Allround Speed Skating Championships at the Max Aicher Arena in Inzell, Bavaria, mark the beginning of an intriguing new era for the sport, as both reigning champions, Nils van der Poel and Irene Schouten, have hung up their blades. Who will rise to the challenge and fill the void?

Read on and we'll show you how to watch the 2024 World Allround Speed Skating Championships from anywhere with a VPN, and potentially for FREE.

What Jordan Stolz has achieved since stepping up from the juniors has put speed skating on the map, and all eyes will be on the 19-year-old American at his first Allround Worlds as a senior. He's swept the 500m, 1,000m and 1,500m at the world speed skating championships two years running, breaking his own 1,000m world record in the process and coming close to the 500m and 1,500m records too. 

Win the 2024 World Allround Speed Skating Championships and he'll go down in history as the youngest male champion since Eric Heiden in 1978, though three-time winner Patrick Roest – runner-up to van der Poel at the last championships, is a formidable competitor.

Schouten's shock retirement two weeks ago has put Miho Takagi and Antoinette Ridjpma-de Jong firmly in the conversation in the women's event. Both of them finished less than a second behind Schouten in Hamar two years ago, with Ragne Wiklund desperately unfortunate to miss out on a medal.
