Will Silk laced up his first pair of skates at the age of three, following in the footsteps of his father, a speed skating Olympian from the 80s. Drawn to the thrill of the ice, Will's love for speed skating was immediate and unwavering. Despite his early start in speed skating, Will is no stranger to other sports, having dabbled in mountain biking and gravel racing, as well as basketball in his youth.
