Air resistance in turbulent flow is proportional to rAxv2 ... where r is the density of air and Ax is the cross sectional area.

"The 1000 m time trial skating record was broken today, with a time of 1:07.30 s."

"The Olympic 1,000 m cycling time trial went to West Germany in 1:06.10 s."

The 1000 meter speed-skating and cycling records are almost the same, because the speed (terminal velocity) is limited by air resistance.
