Did you know that outdoor skating isn't about the cooler the better?Ice skating is best when the temperature is between -2 and 10. In this temperature range, the ice surface will neither melt due to too high temperatures, nor will skaters feel too cold due to too low temperatures. Generally speaking, the ice thickness must be at least 15 centimeters or more to ensure the personal safety of the skaters. And if it's an indoor skating event, it's a different story!
Xinhua.
For the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, short track speed skating requires an ice thickness of 3 cm to 5 cm and an ice temperature of -7 to -6. Speed skating requires an ice thickness of 25 cm to 3 cm, the ideal ice surface temperature is -9 to -5. Figure skating, known as the "ice dance", requires an ice thickness of 6 cm to 7 cm and an ice temperature of -4 to -3.
bringing 300 million people to participate in ice and snow sports", the Beijing Winter Olympics has once again stimulated people's interest in ice and snow. So how did people enjoy skating in ancient China?
Before the Beijing Winter Olympics, the China National Museum and Zhuhai Four-Dimensional Era Network Technology used 3D digital technology to "resurrect" a Qing Dynasty court painting "Ice Splash". This painting, which records the real scene of ice skating of the ancients, is now preserved in the Palace Museum, and has unique historical and artistic value. In the Qing Dynasty of China, there was a custom of ice frolic in winter, and it was regarded as a "national custom".

In fact, the project settings of ice play can be roughly divided into three types: speed skating, ice tricks, and ice squatting. In this painting, flag-bearers and shooters line up on the ice rink, sliding along a cirrus-shaped ice track. On the flag-flapping gate hangs the shooters' target - colored balls. At the end of the show, whoever shoots the most arrows will be rewarded more. It is not difficult to find that these shooters and flag bearers also perform some difficult movements from time to time when skating, such as backward skating, one-legged skating, knife dancing, stacking arhats and other figure skating movements. Various gestures make the cold winter full of life.
