At the 1932 Winter Olympics, speed skating events were conducted in the mass start form.
Competitions in North America tended to be held indoors, for example in Madison Square Garden, New York, and therefore on shorter tracks than was usual for outdoor skating. In 1967, the International Skating Union (ISU) adopted short track speed skating, although it did not organize international competitions until 1976.

World Championships in short track speed skating have been officially held since 1981, although events held in 1976–1980 under different names have since received the status of World Championships retrospectively.

The name of the competition was changed several times before it was eventually titled the "World Short Track Speed Skating Championships" in 1989; the championships are now held annually. Short track speed skating was introduced as a demonstration sport at the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Alberta in Canada.

It was upgraded to a full Olympic sport in 1992 and has been part of the Winter Olympics ever since.
There were only four short track events in the 1992 Winter Games, but the programme was expanded to include six events in 1994 and 1998, and finally eight events in the 2002 Winter Games.
