The U-S Speedskating trials are being held at the Pettit National Ice Center in Milwaukee with no fans and no media present.
A surge in COVID-19 cases is being blamed for the change.
The Olympic trials are set to run through Sunday.
The competition will determine the long-track team that will represent the U-S at the game in Beijing next month.
The roster will be capped at seven men and five women.
Men’s and women’s 1,000-meter races are on the schedule for tonight (January 6th).
