Of course it will hurt, short track speed skating ice skates are made of alloy material, and very sharp.
Watch the Winter Olympics once really also increased a lot of knowledge it, before also do not know what is short track speed skating, now finally see the short track speed skating program, really is very wonderful. Marvel at the skating speed of each athlete is very fast. I also learned a lot of knowledge about short track speed skating. Like the equipment used by the athletes, athletes wear shoes called ice skates.
Ice skates are made of steel plate material or lightweight alloy material and become, is a steel blade, the earliest ice skates are mainly imported from abroad, because the high-end ice skates need to use powder metallurgy steel, steel through high-pressure inert gas or high-pressure water atomization, obtained by the fine steel powder, and then pressed at high temperature, high pressure molding, and then by the sintering of high-speed steel. The fact that short track speed skating is now so fast also depends on improvements in the technology of ice skates. Improvements in equipment have also greatly increased the skating speed of athletes.? In short-track speed skating, ice skate injuries have occurred from time to time.In 2010, in the World Cup Shanghai short-track speed skating, China's Han Jialiang was cut by a South Korean skater's ice skate, and was immediately bloodied in the arena and was carried out on a stretcher.In the pre-game warm-up for the short program at the 2019 World Championships in Saitama skating, U.S. skater Maria collided with South Korean skater Eun-soo Lim, and South Korean skater Eun-soo's calf was cut by the U.S. skater's ice skate. cut by the American skater. So the short track speed skating program is also a very dangerous program, the speed is so fast, the ice skates are so sharp. But we can see that athletes are now out of the field are fully armed, not to listen to the field commentary, simply can not distinguish who is who it, but it is worth knowing that the athletes are now equipped, athletes wearing clothes with special fibers, this kind of clothing is cut-proof, the material is the same as the material of the bullet-proof undershirt it. Ice skates can't cut through it. At the same time short track speed skating athletes are also required to wear safety helmets, cut-resistant gloves or leather gloves made of finger gloves, or synthetic wool-free gloves; cut-proof, anti-tacking durable material of the leg guards; soft padded or soft padded hard-shell knee pads; all athletes must wear the International Skating Association approved the use of the neck brace. All of these materials are cut-resistant, which explains the sharpness of the ice skates, and the enhancement of all equipment, like helmets and neck guards also minimize the risk of life-threatening situations. This also greatly protects the safety of the athletes.
