The fastest final lap of a race belongs to the winner barely half the time. This is the other half: the best closing speed on the ice, spent too late, from too far back, or into traffic. A season list of the best last laps that won nothing.

the fastest final lap of a race belongs to the winner barely half the time. This counts the other half — the best closing speed in the race, spent too late, from too far back, or into traffic. counted over races whose laps carry a position for every lap, which is not every competition — 2007 stored none at all and 2006 very few — so the races column is the honest denominator rather than a skater’s whole career. Individual races only. At least 20 such races to appear. This view counts 2026/2027 only: 3 competitions so far.
