New event: ISU Short Track World Tour #6 Gdańsk

The short track calendar keeps moving, and Gdańsk is on the board. According to the ISU season listing, Short Track World Tour #6 is scheduled for 5–7 February 2027 in Gdańsk, Poland. For fans, that means another chance to catch the sport at full speed: tight packs, split-second passes, and the kind of races where one mistake can reshuffle the whole result.

Why this stop matters

Short track is built for drama, and World Tour events are where the season starts to feel real. Every stop matters for athletes chasing points, form, and momentum. Gdańsk adds another major European venue to the calendar, which should make the tour feel especially stacked for viewers following the series closely.

What skaters and fans can expect

Short track races reward nerves as much as speed. The action usually comes down to positioning, timing, and whether someone can hold a line through the final laps without getting boxed in. That makes each World Tour stop feel compact and intense — no wasted motion, no easy wins.

For fans in the arena, it’s the kind of event where one heat can change your mood in 20 seconds. For skaters, it’s another important checkpoint in a demanding season that doesn’t leave much room to breathe.

Fast laps, tight corners, and a calendar stop that should matter for the whole season — that’s short track doing what it does best.

A good one to watch

We’ll be keeping an eye on how the field shapes up as the event gets closer. For now, Gdańsk looks like a solid addition to the World Tour and a reminder that the European short track scene keeps landing key moments on the international schedule.

If you’re following the season, this is one to bookmark. And if you’re new to short track, Gdańsk is exactly the kind of stop that makes the sport easy to love: quick, technical, and never boring.
