# 2022–23 ISU Short Track Speed Skating World Cup

The 2022–23 ISU Short Track Speed Skating World Cup is a multi-race tournament over a season for short track speed skating. The season began on 28 October 2022 in Canada and ended on 12 February 2023 in Netherlands. The World Cup is organised by the ISU who also runs world cups and championships in speed skating and figure skating.
The World Cup consisted of six competitions this year, with China organizing the third and fourth event originally but was forced to cancel due to international competitors' discontent with the closed loop system under the zero covid policy.
The six competitions have a single distance character across nine distances:
Men
* Individual: 500, 1000 and 1500 meters
* Team Relay: Men 5000 meters
Woman
* Individual: 500, 1000 and 1500 meters
* Team Relay: Women 3000 meters
Mixed
