Short Track Speed Skating Techniques

Sport overview

Short track skating is a newer sport. It has attracted many competitors from traditional non-skating nations, such as South Korea and Australia.

Short track events involve up to six skaters racing on a circuit with no lane markings and crashes are common. There is also a short track relay event for teams of four.

Competitor profile

Short track skating is technically demanding and requires courage as skaters hurtle around tight curves at high speed. Speed skaters have to be powerful and enduring.

Track techniques

The short track is usually set up on an ice rink. The track has no lanes and skaters jostle for position on the 111.12m circuit.

Short track skaters use small running steps to gain speed at the start. The short track skater leans the body forward, bends the knees and swings the arms to maintain momentum.

Skater suit

On the short track, skaters’ skin-tight bodysuits are lined with Kevlar for protection from slashing blades. Skaters also wear helmets and guards on their neck, shins and knees. Gloves with coated fingertips are also essential where skaters place their hands on the ice to stay upright in rapid turns.

Skate differences

The blade of the short track skate is long and thin. It is positioned diagonally across the sole and curves to help with cornering.
