Speed Skating Introduction

Speed Skating is a sport that originated in Canada in the 1880's. In the 1880's, Canada constructed indoor hockey rinks, and some speed skating enthusiasts often went to the indoor rinks to practice, and a lot of people aren't very familiar with the program, so I'd like to share the following introduction of Speed Skating Introduction.

Speed Skating Introduction Short 1

Speed Skating (Speed Skating) is a kind of ice racing sport on the ice with ice skates as tools. It is a skating sport in the international classification of sports. It refers to the skating competition in the prescribed distance for the purpose of speed, referred to as speed skating, is the official competition program of the Winter Olympic Games.

Athletes skate on the ice with ice skates, with the help of the blade of the ice skates cut into the ice to form a solid point of support, through the two legs take turns to stir the ice, legs, under the knife, skating into the action, as well as the whole body to coordinate and cooperate with the forward fast skating.

Speed skating is a sport with a long history, as early as the eleventh and twelfth centuries, in the Netherlands, England, Switzerland, and some Scandinavian countries in the early literature on the bones of animals tied to the feet on the ice to move quickly, which is the early prototype of skating.

Starting in the 1840s, speed skating spread rapidly from England and the Netherlands to other countries, and skating clubs were established, and in the 1870s, calls for national skating organizations began to arise in some countries.

In 1879, the first national skating leadership organization, the British Ice Skating Association, was created, and in January 1893, the first World Championships for men's speed skating were held in Amsterdam under the auspices of the International Skating Union (ISU). Men's and women's speed skating were included in the Winter Olympics in 1924 and 1960 respectively.

The highest level of organization in speed skating, the International Skating Union, was founded in the Netherlands in 1892. The highest level of organization in China is the Chinese Skating Association, founded in Beijing in 1980.

Short Track Speed Skating

1, Short Track Speed Skating (Short Track Speed Skating), known as the short track speed skating, is a shorter length of the runway on the ice speed sports.

2, short track speed skating originated in Canada, when some Canadian speed skating enthusiasts often go to the indoor ice hockey rink to practice, and then produced the indoor speed skating competition. 20 century, short track speed skating is gradually in Europe and the Americas widely developed. 1975, the International Skating Union set up a short track speed skating technical committee. 1981, began to organize the world short track speed skating championships. 1988, the short track speed skating championships were held in the United States.

3. Short track speed skating is governed by the International Skating Union (ISU), an organization founded in 1892 in the Netherlands. The main short track speed skating competitions organized by the ISU are the World Short Track Speed Skating Championships and the World Short Track Speed Skating Youth Championships.

Speed skating and short track speed skating, what are the differences?

Short track speed skating, as the name suggests, is the sport of speed skating on ice on a track of shorter length. The most obvious difference between the two programs is the length of the track. Speed skating standard track circumference of 400 meters, while the short track speed skating standard track is only 111.12 meters. Comparatively speaking, speed skating requires players to be more powerful, and short track speed skating requires players to be more technical.

How to distinguish between these two programs, the following from the track settings, the number of competitions, clothing, ice skates several aspects of a detailed introduction.

First, the difference in track settings. Speed skating (excluding collective departure) track is divided into inner and outer track by the marking line, the players need to skate according to the rules, a lap of the inner track and a lap of the outer track. The short-track speed skating track is not subdivided, players can skate at will, there is no string road situation.

The second is to look at the number of athletes on the field at the time of departure. Speed skating individual and team competitions generally 2 athletes per group at the same time, the collective departure program is a row of 6 people at the same time. Short track speed skating 500 meters, 1000 meters and other short-distance competition is generally 4 players at the same time, 1500 meters and above long-distance competition is 6-8 athletes at the same time.

Third, through the contestant's race clothing distinction, especially with or without wearing a helmet. Athletes who do not wear helmets during the competition belong to the speed skating program, and vice versa for short track speed skaters. Speed skaters wearing tight-fitting jumpsuits, both warm and lightweight, the most important is to reduce air resistance, skating clothes must go through a series of rigorous wind tunnel testing.

Short-track speed skaters are required to wear safety helmets, cut-proof gloves, cut-proof and anti-puncture leg guards, padded knee pads, compliant . Safety Competition Suit, and wear a neck brace approved for use by the International Skating Association.

Fourth, see whether the ice skates are fixed and the size, height and width of the ice skates. Speed skating ice skates front and shoe fixed, ice skates back and heel can be separated. Speed skating is mainly characterized by speed, so speed skating ice skates blade body long, narrow and flat blade, stirring ice area and friction resistance is small.

Short track speed skating skates and shoes are fixed together. Ice skate blade body is shorter, and the ice contact area is small, easy to slip arc turn. The blade is high so that the skates do not touch the ice when the blade is tilted very high.

Short-track speed skating is the traditional strength of China's winter sports games. Since Yang Yang in the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City to achieve China's Winter Olympics gold medal "0" breakthrough, the short-track speed skating Winter Olympics China have gold medals. In the current Beijing Winter Olympics, the addition of seven new sub-disciplines, including short-track speed skating mixed team relay.

Speed skating

Speed skating is a sport that allows humans to reach their fastest speeds on a flat surface without the use of external forces, and Olympic champions can reach speeds of more than 60 kilometers per hour. Competition in the circumference of 400 meters on the runway, the runway by two straight lines and two 180-degree arcs connected to become, divided into two lanes, the outer lane, the road width of 5 meters. The inner circle of the inner track has a radius of 25 meters and the inner circle of the outer track has a radius of 30 meters.

Speed Skating

When starting, the athlete takes a squatting position in order to have a strong explosive force. In longer races, skaters may put one or both arms behind their backs to increase aerodynamics and conserve energy at the same time.

Competitors are divided into teams of two, and the order of the course and the start order are randomized by lot. The two players in the same group skate counterclockwise around the ice track after the gun goes off, and the first one to reach the finish line wins, which is often unusually close due to the speed and has to be calculated in hundredths of a second.

Each group is allowed one rush, and athletes will be disqualified if they commit a second offense. After each lap the two competitors swap positions in the exchange area for the inside and outside lanes, this is to ensure that both skate the same total distance. The athlete in the outside lane will have priority to change lanes.

A competitor will be disqualified for a second foul, for skating out of his lane, for failing to change lanes in the exchange zone, or for interfering with an opponent during a lane change.

A competitor may have a re-run if he or she: suffers an injury as a result of a serious interference, where the interference consists of an opponent falling. In this case, the athlete may rest for 30 minutes and then repeat the race, taking the best of the current and last results.

During a race, if a competitor falls, they can get up and re-enter the race. When a player falls near the finish line, a judgment will be made as to how to time the player (including skates and body) based on whether or not they are completely over the finish line.

The team pursuit, which first entered the Winter Olympics in 2006, involves two teams of three players from each team starting at the same time on one side of the track, with the players taking turns to lead the skate, and the other players using the airflow to follow the lead skater closely, and the team completing the race when the last player crosses the key line, which is an elimination system until the final.
