What’s Short Track Speed Skating?
Imagine yourself tearing across a sheet of ice at 50 km/hour (30+ miles/hr) on long skating blades only a millimeter thick. A sharp curve looms ahead. Into that turn, you know the other skaters will attempt to cut you off and leave you behind in a cloud of ice shards. If you crave speed, a litte danger and lots of strategy, then welcome to the thrill and spectacle of Short Track Speed Skating.
Your eyes are on a precious piece of real estate in front of your opponent. As you accelerate past the inside, your eyes fixate on the oncoming blocks when you realize your opponent does not share your desire to be in the lead as the “door” closes. You aim for an insanely small space between your opponent and the blocks, and you plant your right foot. Your speed is too high as you lean in at some impossible angle, left hand touching down when the g-forces push the blood from your brain down to your toes. For a brief moment your defie the laws of physics and time stands still. You wait for the inevitable fall as payment for your overly zealous move, but instead, you rocket out of the turn even faster. Your adrenalin rush says you’ve cheated fate, but your mind says let’s do it again!”
