It is easy for many people to confuse these two sports, but they are actually different. Relatively speaking, both of them should consider their own coordination, and short track speed skating is simpler, more friendly to novices and easier to use.
Let's talk about the difference first. The speed skating competition is usually called "Avenue" and is held on an ice track with a circumference of 400 meters. The ice track is formed by connecting two straight lines and two arcs of 180 degrees. Instrument. The inner ice channel has an inner diameter of 25 meters and the outer ice channel has an inner diameter of 30 meters. The short track area is 30× 60m, the elliptical ice length is11.12m, the width of the straight track is not less than 7m, the bend radius is 8m, and the length of the straight track is 28.85m. ..
Now let's talk about the rules of the game. Speed skaters are divided into two groups, and the track arrangement and starting order are decided by random lottery. After the starting gun sounded, two players in the same group slid counterclockwise around the ice track, and the player who reached the finish line first won. At the end of each lap, the two riders switch positions in the inner and outer lanes of the exchange area to ensure that the total distance of the two riders 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 determined.
Due to different occasions and standards, the equipment guiding two competitions is not always in communication. The soles of speed skating skates are hard leather, and the skates are fixed on the soles with screws or rivets. Ice skates have long bodies, narrow and flat blades, large surface area for pushing ice and few conflicts. In the competition, the dredger wore a special tight-fitting jumpsuit, which was simply heated and the clothes were extremely elegant to reduce the atmosphere barrier.
The skater tube of short track speed skating must be blocked, the blade root must be circular, the blade body of the skater is short, the blade bottom is curved, and the ice surface area is small, which is convenient for the progress of sliding when cornering. Because short track speed skating also contains opposites, dredgers should wear a stable helmet, anti-cutting gloves, leg pads and knee pads. The rest, all dredgers must wear neck protectors approved by the International Skating Association.
These are the differences between the two sports, which one is easier to learn.
