Speedskating

DC-ICE skaters practiced speedskating at Fort Dupont Ice Arena (FDIA) and on inline skates at the Anacostia Skating Pavilion in Washington, DC's Ward 7.  Many have raced at local, regional and national short-track speed skating and inline competitions. Recreational & Fitness skaters practice regularly at local outdoor ice rinks and on local trails throughout the city.

Managed by Nathaniel Mills (Coach Nat), a three-time Olympic speed skater, and coached by DC natives Suliman Abdullah and Rashid Gholson the DC-ICE Skating Club is rooted in the universal principles of Olympism: Joy in Effort, Perseverance, Fair Play, Respect, and Unity.

Honorary DC-ICE Members include: Shani Davis, the pioneering Olympic Champion who inspired the club's creation; local two-time Olympian Maame Biney, who got her competitive start at the DC Open Meet; and 2026 Olympian and DC native Conor McDermott-Mostowy.  Several other young DC-ICE skaters - Robert Tolliver, Makayla Chou,  Anastasia Chan, Jabari Watts - now train with the renowned Potomac Speedskating Club and have their sights set on 2034 and beyond.
