Soon after speed skating became an international sport, short track speed skating began to appear in Europe. 1889 held the first world long track speed skating championship. Three years later, 1982 International Skating Union (ISU) was established.

But it was not until the early 20th century that short track speed skating was held in North America. 1906 The United States and Canada jointly held the International Short Track Speed Skating Competition, and192/kloc-0 held the annual International Short Track Speed Skating Championship every year.

During the period of 1920- 1940, short track speed skating was rapidly popularized in North America. 1932 The organizers of the Winter Olympics even changed the long track speed skating into a form similar to the short track speed skating, which greatly increased its excitement.

The first two short track speed skating world championships were held in 1976 and 1977 respectively, but they were not officially recognized by the international skating Federation. The short track speed skating championship officially sponsored by the International Skating Federation began at 1978, but the first short track speed skating world championships of the International Skating Federation was not held in Merton, France until 198 1.

Before short track speed skating became an Olympic sport, skaters often competed in short track and long track. The short track skating rink can be laid all year round, providing athletes with training and competition venues at any time. Many long-track skaters use the short-track skating rink to practice and improve their skills, and some of them even take part in short-track speed skating competitions.

With the appearance of indoor long runway facilities, this training method of mixing two runways is gradually eliminated. In addition, since short track speed skating has become an official event in the Winter Olympics, athletes must focus on short track training if they want to succeed in this event.

Olympic history

Short track speed skating first appeared in 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics. At that time, short track speed skating was only a performance event, 10 events. Subsequently, this project was quickly popularized. 1992, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) officially listed short track speed skating as an Olympic event, but at the Albertville Winter Olympics, IOC only set up an individual event and a relay event for men and women (men 1000m, women's 500m, men and women relay).

The debut of short track speed skating in the Winter Olympics was a great success. 1994 At the Lillehammer Winter Olympics, six events were set up in short track speed skating, namely, men's and women's 500m, men's1000m and relay. In the coming Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, short track speed skating events will continue to increase, and the International Olympic Committee will add men's and women's 1 1,500m competitions, bringing the total number of short track speed skating gold medals to eight.

Although short track speed skating became the official event of the Winter Olympics in 1992, the short track competition form appeared as early as the Lake Placid Winter Olympics in 1932, and all the speed skating competitions held in that year were conducted in a form similar to today's short track speed skating, which caused panic among traditional Europeans. Some short-track speed skaters are very disgusted with the form of short-track competition, so they refuse to participate in this form of competition. The most famous is Finnish athlete Klaus Sandberg, who won five gold medals in the Winter Olympics.

The history of skating

The history of roller skating probably began in the18th century, which is much younger than the history of skating. The first pair of roller skates appeared in 1760. 1863, purington of new york invented roller skates, which made roller skating really popular.

At the same time, this kind of roller skates reduces the friction of the sole on the ice, so speed skating is also started.

The first skating club with sports and entertainment as its main purpose was established in Edinburgh, Scotland. 1876, the world's first artificially frozen indoor "ice palace" was built in London, England, and skating was no longer restricted by seasons. 1882, Austria began to hold the international figure skating competition. 1885, France held the first international speed skating competition. 189 1 year, the international skating Federation was established.

After Manchu, who originally lived in the cold area of Northeast China, entered the customs, ice sports competitions were held on the large liquid pool in the Imperial City of Beiping from 65438 to 065438+ 10 every year, and then many Han Chinese followed suit, and folk ice sports gradually became popular.
