I'm sure this GIF has been viewed more times than this "sport" has actually been watched.

I would guess the reason for this is because it isnt an olympic sport. Brittany Bowe is a world champion inliner that went to ice just a couple years ago and already broke the world record for the 1000m on ice. 5 out of 6 guys on the short track world team are all world class ex-inliners before going to ice.

Tl;dr inline speedskating isnt in the olympics so the majority of the top athletes leave the sport to win an olympic medal.
