  2. Short Track Speed Skating • Short track speed skating is only about 100 years old and a product of North America. Speed skating, however, dates back to 13th century Holland.Short track speed skating originated in Canada and the United States in 1905 with the first known competition having taken place in 1909. By the 1920s and 30s, the sport was gaining popularity in Great Britain, Japan, France, Belgium and Australia.While short track speed skating became part of the International Skating Union (ISU) in 1967, it wasn’t until 1976 that official ISU competitions began.In 1988, short track speed skating was a demonstration event at the Calgary Olympic Winter Games. Four years later, it was included as a full medal event at the Albertville 1992 Olympic Winter Games. • For more information go to http://www.vancouver2010.com/olympic-short-track-speed-skating/additional-information/about-the-sport_146076Zz.html • Brochure

  7. Training For the majority of the year, short track speed skaters train on the ice at least eight times a week, building on their fitness base as well as their tactical skills used in competition. During practice, they focus on skating form and efficient technique. Technique and strategy Achieving the perfect form takes a great deal of work, focusing on an individual athlete’s biomechanics. Support staff and athletic trainers help by critiquing the athlete’s skating position and work with them off ice to fine-tune their technique. Video analysis is often incorporated as a way to review skills. Short track speed skaters strategize and maneuver their way through a pack of skaters by using different track patterns (or paths) for optimizing speed, cornering and passing. Sometimes it’s best to go wide. Sometimes athletes are better off cornering tight at the end of the race. And sometimes it takes a little teamwork to edge out the competition. Different scenarios are set up in practice allowing athletes to know how to react in every situation. Off ice Short track speed skaters mainly work on lower body, core and back strength for maintaining proper form. This is achieved in the weight room by doing resistance one-on-one short track speed skating-specific exercises alongside a sport trainer. Strong arms and core are critical in relay races as the athletes need the strength to push the next skater on the team. Off the ice, short track speed skaters work individually on their aerobic fitness by biking or running. As injuries can happen when athletes begin cold, they warm up and cool down on cardio equipment such as stationary bikes.
