What's the difference between a sled and a snowmobile?

The difference between sled and snowmobile lies in the different equipment, the way athletes control the equipment and the way they slide. The snowmobile body looks more like a convertible in appearance. It not only has a chassis, but also a steering wheel and a "hood" in which players sit and play. It's called "F 1 on ice". The rear of the snowmobile is equipped with a brake, and the helmsman drives the snowmobile through a pulley system controlled by two handles in the snowmobile.

Sleigh and steel snowmobile operate in the same way, except that the head of sleigh has two elbows, which is convenient for athletes to put their feet on, while steel snowmobile does not.

There are different ways to slide. Snowmobile rides and faces forward. Sleigh feet in front, head behind, lying and sliding.

Athletes control equipment in different ways. When the snowmobile starts, the athlete runs a distance to push the snowmobile forward to get the initial speed. Then jump into the car in turn, slide in a sitting position, and control the forward direction through the steering system; After reaching the finish line, the athlete slowed down the car through the braking system.

When the sled starts, the athletes sit on the sled, grab the handles on both sides of the starting point of the track and start by swinging back and forth. Then, through the fingernail gloves, rake the ice on the ice to accelerate; After finding the best speed, smooth on the sled, and adjust and change the direction through the coordinated efforts of all parts of the body. After reaching the finish line, the athletes slowed down by adjusting their postures.

Sleigh and snowmobile are very fast, with the top speed exceeding130 km/h. Secondly, they are all very dangerous and will "roll over" if they are not careful. Finally, they all require athletes to have the ability to obtain the maximum initial speed and the ability to flexibly control their limbs to maintain the balance of their bodies or instruments in order to adapt to the continuous improvement of speed. Therefore, in the choice of athletes, athletes who are "big and fast" are more popular.

Finally, the track has the same destination as the national snowmobile sled center. But the starting point is slightly different: snowmobiles and steel-framed snowmobiles are the same, while men's snowmobiles have a higher starting point than snowmobiles and steel-framed snowmobiles, but the starting distance is shorter, that is, the slope is steeper. Shortly after starting, snowmobiles and snowmobiles use the same track.
