A type of speed skating, the principle of which is to quickly cover a distance. Translated from English, “short track” is a short track, and the sport received this name for a reason: the ice track along which the skaters move is only 111.12 meters long.
History of short track
The history of short track speed skating is still unknown. The British and Canadians share the laurels among themselves, claiming that they are its founders. But one thing is certain: short track speed skating is a sport in which competitions were first held in Canada. It was in 1905, and the winner then was F. Logen. After this, the Americans also became interested in the question “what is short track speed skating in sports”: in 1906, a championship was held in the USA with the participation of this sport, and in 1915, for the first time, an international championship was held between representatives of Canada and the USA. After a long break, the competition resumed in 1926, and this time Europeans also competed for a medal. In Europe, this type of speed skating became known in 1914, when the first competitions were held here. After this, other countries gradually began to learn about what short track speed skating is in sports:
- in 1940 - Australia.
- in 1950 - Belgium, France, Japan.
- in 1970 - Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand.
Since then, the need arose to hold international world championships, and in 1975, by decision of the ISU, a skating committee was created. Today, short track speed skating is an Olympic sport and takes part in the Olympics as an individual and team competition.
Equipment of participants
Short track is a sport with a certain level of risk. That is why speed skaters perform in special overalls made of elastic fabric that do not restrict movement, and with knee pads and guards to reduce the risk of injury when falling. The athlete's head is protected by a helmet (they were specially developed by LAS). To protect the neck, a special device is used, commonly called a collar by athletes, which protects against injury. During the race, for balance, skaters touch the ice with their palms, so the equipment must include leather gloves with epoxy molds on the fingers and palms. Well, the finishing touch is boots. They are selected at your own discretion according to the endurance, speed developed, weight and physique of the athlete, as well as taking into account running technique and ice hardness. Boots are made individually for each athlete.
Short track blades
Speed skating (short track) requires special attention to the choice of blades: they are quite sharp, 1.1-1.2 mm thick, and reach 38-46 mm in length. They are attached to the boot with two bolts, which is why the list of necessary items of athlete’s equipment includes a set (see below). The blades are slightly curved to make it easier for the athlete to enter the turn. The blades are made individually with the selection of a convenient radius: if you place them on a flat surface, they will touch only in one place, in the center. The weight of the boot together with the blade does not exceed 500 grams. The blades also differ in hardness, as indicated by their color: red, yellow or silver.
Athlete's equipment
The list of equipment for a short track athlete includes:
- Stone for sharpening blades.
- Stone for removing burrs after sharpening.
- Set of wrenches.
- Cloth for wiping skates.
- Cover your blades before going out on the ice.
- Skate covers after the race.
This list is not mandatory, but professional athletes consider the presence of each item on this list a necessity both during training races and during competitions.
Ice Arena
In sports and where are competitions held? Races are carried out on a hockey rink prepared in accordance with certain requirements.

- If a runner is overtaken twice, he may abandon the race and the finish will count.
- The finishing moment is when the toe of the blade crosses the line.
Basic rules for relay races
- The team consists of 4-5 people.
- Each race involves 4 runners from one team.

For men, matches first take place in two preliminary groups of 6 teams. The 4 strongest teams from both groups then meet in the quarterfinals, the winners of which advance to the semifinals, where participants in the final matches for 1-2 and 3-4 places are determined. In the “consolation” matches, teams determine the places of 5th to 8th. Women first compete in two preliminary groups of 4 teams. The winners of the group tournaments then meet the teams that took 2nd place in the groups (crossover). The “A” final is then played by the winners of the semi-finals, and the “B” final is played by the losing teams. Teams that took 3rd and 4th places in the preliminary tournaments play for the final 5th to 8th places according to the same principle.

Nordic combined
Nordic combined or “northern combination” is a combination of cross-country skiing and jumping from several types of ski jumping
History Nordic combined competitions were included in the Olympic program at the First Olympic Games in Chamonix in 1924. At first the competitions were individual. Then team competitions were added with three, and later four athletes per team.
Nordic combined rules The competition is held only among men. The competition is held over two days: on the first day - ski jumping; in the second - the race. The result is determined by the sum of points received for completing both exercises. Nordic combined is part of the International Ski Federation. No more than 4 athletes from each national team can participate in competitions.
Nordic combined today Today, the Olympic program for men's Nordic combined includes three types of competitions: an individual race with a medium springboard jump, an individual race with a large springboard jump, a team race (two large jumps for each participant and a 4x5 km relay).
Springboard Sochi 2014
Ski jumping Sochi 2014 Nordic combined competitions at the Olympic Games Sochi 2014 will be hosted by the Russian Hills ski jumping complex on the northern slope of the Aibga ridge. The jumping site was chosen at the junction of two ridges to protect the jumpers from side winds. In addition, the complex located in this place harmoniously fits into the surrounding landscape.
Sports equipment for jumping boots with a high instep allow the athlete to lean forward during flight. Bindings (the toe of the binding separates the ski into the back and front). the cord from the fastening connects the boot to the ski, which prevents the skis from swinging during the flight; the overalls are breathable to a controlled degree; the skis are 1.5 times longer than the height of the athlete
Sports equipment for racing skis with long, curved ends and a slight rise in the middle; length can be up to 2 meters fastenings fix the skier's legs on skis long and straight ski poles in height can reach the athlete's chin the suit is made of elastic fabric that takes the shape of the athlete's body.
