Q1. 
As the close running is dangerous because of collisions and falls, a hard shell helmet is a must. There are 
also knee and neck protectors. Some skaters wear goggles to shield their eyes from wind and ice chips. 
Skin-tight suits reduce wind resistance. Short track boots lace high up and are heavier to help stabilize the 
foot. Blades are very sharp and asymmetrical so as to make turns almost flat to the ice. 
Q2. 
Primarily short track was dominated by Canada and the USA. The teams from South Korea, China, Japan 
joined later, followed by the recent favourites, the Dutch. For a long time Russia could boast of the only 
bronze Olympic medal in short track. Since the Sochi Olympics the Russian short track team has seriously 
improved. 
Q3. 
Nowadays sort track includes eight competitions. These are the same for both men and women: 500 m, 
1000 m, 1500 m, 3000 m, and the relay — a race between teams, with each team member in turn running 
part of the total distance. The last one makes 5000 m for men and 3000 m for women. 
Q4. 
Short track hasn’t been a Winter Games event for very long. Ice short track was a demonstration sport at 
the 15th Winter Olympics, held in Calgary (Canada) in 1988. It was upgraded to a full Olympic sport in 
1992 at the Albertville Winter Games and has been part of the Winter Olympics since.
