The difference between speed skating and short track speed skating, when we watched the Olympic Games, we saw many events, among which short track speed skating and speed skating were quite confusing. Let's look at the difference between speed skating and short track speed skating.
The difference between speed skating and short track speed skating 1 The venue is different: one is big and the other is small, and the track distance is long and short.
The venue is the most obvious difference between the two events. The speed skating track is 400 meters long, which is the same distance as the track and field track of the Summer Olympic Games. The track length of short track speed skating competition is11.12m (364.6ft), which is also commonly known as "Avenue" and "Short Track".
For more specific field data, the "Avenue" is divided into internal and external roads with a width of 5 meters; The radius of inner ring of inner ice channel is 25m, and the radius of outer ice channel is 30m.
The "short track" competition venue is small, with an area of 30× 60m, the width of the straight track is not less than 7m, the radius of bend is 8m, and the length of the straight track is 28.85m Black rubber blocks are placed at the corners at both ends of the venue as marking lines, which also increases the safety of the competition. Athletes are not allowed to slide into the marking line (there is no marking line in the straight line area).
The rules are different: a comparison time, a comparison ranking.
The rules of the two projects are also obviously different. Simply put, speed skating is a race against time, while short track speed skating is a direct confrontation between competitors, which is also the reason why short track speed skating often fouls.
Speed skating competition is more about time. There are no preliminaries, semi-finals and finals, and the outcome is decided directly in one round. It doesn't matter who reaches the finish line first, what matters is who runs faster, that is, the winner takes the shortest time. Speed skating adopts the time trial system and is divided into several rounds. Therefore, the ranking of each group is very important, and the top few have the opportunity to advance to the next round.
Different equipment: speed skates can be separated
The skates of speed skates are narrow and flat, so the ice pushing area is large and the friction resistance is small. A shorter waist also helps to lower the center of gravity, reduce air resistance and help to skate as high as possible. The front part of speed skates is fixed with the sole, and the rear part can be separated from the heel. In this way, when the athlete lifts his leg, the blade still contacts the ice.
Short-track speed skating needs to deal with more sharp bends. The texture of skates is generally harder than speed skating, and stronger support packages are needed to help players better control the sliding trajectory. The bottom of the short track speed skating skates will have a certain radian, and the contact area with the ice surface is small, which is convenient for sliding arc when cornering. The blade of the skates is relatively high, so even if the body leans greatly when passing through the curve, the skates will not touch the ice.
Another difference between these two skates is the length. The average length of short track speed skating is 30~45 cm, and the average length of speed skating is 40~55 cm.
Different appreciation points: extreme speed pursuit VS speed+technical competition
Short track speed skating has strong antagonism, plus there are many corners and overtaking is more frequent, which often leads to falls and collisions, and the risk factor is much higher than that of speed skating. Therefore, athletes must wear helmets, goggles, cut-resistant gloves, leg pads, knee pads and other protective equipment, including special neck protectors.
On the other hand, there are fewer safety problems in speed skating. The main purpose of the one-piece speed skating clothes worn by the players is to reduce the wind resistance during high-speed skating (their maximum speed can exceed 60 km/h).
In terms of skills and tactics, short track speed skating is much richer than speed skating. Players will take the lead, lag behind, cover/cooperate and other tactics to become the final winner. In addition to the wonderful game, there are many uncertainties.
If you pay attention to the gloves of the short track speed skaters' left and right hands, you will find that they are not the same-the short track speed skaters walk counterclockwise, so the left hand will act as a balance fulcrum in the corner, so there will be extra raised buttons on the left hand gloves to help this behavior.
Finally, if we observe the figure of biathlon athletes, we may find that speed skaters are often taller than short-track speed skaters. This is also the inherent advantage of the latter's lower center of gravity when facing more corners.
The strength of China team is different: short track speed skating is the champion team, and speed skating still needs efforts.
Of course, players in these two sports will still change events. Generally speaking, short track speed skaters have a relatively short sports career, and later they will switch to speed skating to prolong the sports cycle.
By the eve of the Winter Olympics, China had won 62 Olympic medals (13 gold medals), and short track speed skating and speed skating contributed 4 1 gold medals (1 1 gold medals), among which Yang Yang, Wang Meng, Zhou Yang and Wu Dajing emerged in the Winter Olympics.
China's only gold medal in speed skating came from Zhang Hong's (women's1000m) 20 14 in Sochi. It was at the age of 20 that Zhang Hong switched from short track speed skating to neck speed skating and won the championship in Sochi.
At the Beijing Winter Olympics, there were 14 events in speed skating, and the competition was held in the National Speed Skating Hall, which is known as the "Ice Belt". Short track speed skating includes 9 events, including 4 men's events and 4 women's events, and the other event is the mixed relay race (which is also a new event introduced for the first time), held in the Capital Gymnasium.
The difference between speed skating and short track speed skating 2 Speaking of short track speed skating and speed skating, friends who don't know much about it are easily confused by the names of these two seemingly similar projects. In fact, these two ice racing events are very different.
The first is the difference in venues. The difference between short track speed skating and speed skating is very obvious. Short track speed skating is a "small circle" and speed skating is a "big circle".
One lap of the short track speed skating field11.12m, 1000m needs 9 laps.
The competition area of short track speed skating is usually 30m * 60m, the track is oval, and the perimeter of the inner edge of the track is11.12m. There is no lane separation line for the whole straight skating, so the athletes can overtake at any position after starting.
The perimeter of the speed skating competition venue is 400 meters, and the track is usually divided into inner lane, outer lane and lane changing area. This time, the speed skating venue in the "Ice Belt" of the National Speed Skating Hall of Beijing Winter Olympics has three slides, the innermost is a warm-up lane for athletes to warm up for the second time before the competition, the middle is an inner lane, and the outermost is an outer lane. In the official competition, players must complete their movements in the inner and outer lanes.
Speed skating is an event that pursues speed completely. During the race, there is only one person on each track, and its purpose is to race at maximum speed. The instantaneous speed of speed skating can exceed 65 kilometers per hour at the fastest.
Short track speed skating competition, 4-8 athletes in each group. As long as you get the top two results in the group, you can enter the next round. In the competition, athletes often "hand-to-hand combat", with more physical contact, may be surpassed at any time, as fast as lightning, and have strong ornamental value. This is a sport with both speed and passion.
The difference between the two sports is more obvious in the equipment of the players. Short track speed skating, because the track is oval, athletes have to slide in corners in most competitions. In a corner, the angle between the car body and the ice surface is about 37 degrees, and the faster the speed, the smaller the angle.
All these make it very easy for athletes to collide in short track speed skating competition. Therefore, short track speed skaters must have strong equipment support.
Competition equipment for short track speed skaters
Anti-collision helmet made of carbon fiber, neck protector, roller skating suit with anti-cutting and anti-pricking fabric, padded hard-shell knee pads, gloves with finger buckles that can be used to reduce friction and prevent cuts when touching ice, etc.
Professional Clothing of Athletes in Speed Skating Competition
Speed skating equipment pays more attention to the ultimate pursuit of speed. It is a set of light and warm tights with hat, coat and trousers, and the core of its design is to reduce air resistance.
The biggest difference between short track speed skating and speed skating is the skates. Short-track speed skating skates have short blade body, curved blade bottom and small contact area with the ice surface, which is convenient for athletes to slide in an arc when cornering. At the same time, the blade of the ice skates is high, which can ensure that the ice skates will not touch the ice when the inclination is large.
Roller skates used by short track speed skaters
Speed skaters wear narrow and flat Klepp skates. Between skates and skates, only the front end of skates is fixedly connected with skates. When the athlete pushes the ice, the center of gravity moves forward, and then the back point of the skates is separated from the skates. This structure can increase the contact time between the skates and the ice surface, and has a greater chance to accelerate.
Klepp skates are used for speed skating.
Finally, the rules of the two sports are different. Simply put, short track speed skating is an ice racing sport with fierce confrontation, changeable tactics and strong appreciation. The race coasted counterclockwise, and the first round was decided by drawing lots at the starting station. After that, according to the results of the last round, the starting channel of the competition is decided, and the winner is ranked in the inner lane.
The final sprint of short track speed skating is subject to the crossing of the line.
In the competition of flying, fighting for lanes and other actions, the project requires extremely high explosive power, technical and tactical coordination, especially stable psychological quality of athletes.

Speed skating is the fastest horizontal field in the world without foreign aid, and the highest speed of athletes can reach 65 kilometers per hour or even higher. Like short track speed skating, athletes skate counterclockwise. There are men's and women's individual competitions, team starting competitions and team chasing competitions in the Winter Olympics.
Now we already know that the speed skating track is 400 meters, and the width of the inner and outer tracks is 5 meters, which may lead to the difference in the length of the inner and outer tracks. How to solve this problem? Take the individual competition as an example. In pairs, start from the inner lane and the outer lane respectively, and draw lots to decide the order of the inner lane and the outer lane when the runners start. Every time you slide, the two athletes have to change lanes in the lane-changing area, so as to ensure that the distance between the two athletes in each lap is 400 meters.
Speed skating-team chase
Speed skating looks less intense than short track speed skating, and you may be fined at any time. But in fact, the rules of speed skating are also very complicated. In many cases, you may be punished for violating the rules.
For example, in order to prevent players from colliding when changing lanes, the outside players have the priority to change lanes. If two people collide when changing lanes, the inside players will be sentenced to a foul.
The difference between speed skating and short track speed skating 3 "Speed skating and short track speed skating are two completely different events." Wang Meng, the women's 500-meter champion of short track speed skating in the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, admitted in an interview that many people would confuse the two events. "In fact, they are different in equipment, venue and rules."
Let's talk about the difference between tracks first. The speed skating competition, usually called "Avenue", is played on an ice track with a circumference of 400 meters. The ice track consists of two straight lines and two arcs of 180 degrees, which are divided into inner and outer tracks, and the width of the track is 5 meters.
The radius of inner ring of inner ice channel is 25m, and the radius of outer ice channel is 30m. The short track area is 30× 60m, the elliptical ice track length is11.12m, the straight track width is not less than 7m, the curve radius is 8m, and the straight track length is 28.85m ..
Let's talk about the rules of the game. Speed skaters are divided into two groups. The arrangement of passing the ball and the starting order are randomly decided by drawing lots. After the starting gun sounded, two players in the same group slid counterclockwise around the ice track and crossed the finish line first.
After each lap, the players of both sides exchange the positions of the inside and outside lanes in the exchange area to ensure that the total distance between the skaters of both sides is the same. In the short track speed skating competition, at least four players compete on the same track. During the competition, athletes can surpass their opponents at any time without violating the rules.
The top two in the group advance to the next round until the last four are decided.
Because of the different venues and rules, the equipment of the two competitions is not the same. The soles of speed skates are hard leather, and the skates are fixed on the soles with screws or rivets. Ice skates have long length, narrow and flat blade, large ice pushing area and low friction resistance. During the competition, athletes wear warm and lightweight special jumpsuits, and the clothes are extremely particular about reducing air resistance.
The roller tube of short track speed skating must be closed, the blade root must be circular, the blade body of the roller is short, the blade bottom is curved, and the contact area with the ice surface is small, so it is convenient to slide in an arc when cornering. Because short track speed skating also contains antagonism, athletes need to wear safety helmet, cut-proof gloves, leg pads and knee pads. In addition, all athletes must wear neck protectors approved by the International Skating Association.
In terms of the fastest speed, the average speed of short track speed skaters can reach 45km/h, and China Fan Kexin 20 1 1 slipped 47km/h, exceeding the average speed of Bolt's men's 100 meter converted into a world record of 9.58s of 37.38km/h..
But the ice sport that really competes with skating speed is "Avenue" speed skating, which is recognized as the fastest speed of human beings without the help of machinery. According to the record, the highest speed of speed skating actually exceeds 60 km/h.
