Long track, or 400 meter oval speedskating, became an olympic sport at the first winter Olympics back in 1924.
Short track, or hockey-rink speedskating, became an olympic sport in 1992, having been a demonstration sport at the 1988 games.
When a sport becomes very popular it will/can be looked at by the Olympic council, some sports, like UFC are very popular, but will not be in the Olympics because of the violence and such. Speedskating became very popular, and was accepted, so now it is in the Olympics.
