Dutch newsreel from 1979 about the winter period including at the end scenes from both a women's short track race in Genemuiden won by Anneke Zeinstra, and a horse-drawn sleigh race

Kortebaanschaatsen ('short track skating') refers to an old form of Dutch ice skating tournament that goes back to the 18th century.[1] It is not to be confused with the modern speed skating sport known as short-track speed skating. The sport is similar to harness racing (known as Dutch: kortebaandraverijen) and is similarly set up in two straight lanes of 160 meters.
