There are still 21 days to go before the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics, and the popular science project brought to you today is - figure skating!
Born in England in the 18th century, figure skating was a winter sport that entered the Summer Olympic Games and was listed as the first Winter Olympic event in 1924.
The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics Figure Skating Competition will be held at the Capital Gymnasium in Beijing, resulting in a total of five gold medals. The figure skating venue of the Beijing Winter Olympics will use the most advanced environmental protection technology to make ice, with an ice thickness of 4.5-6cm and an ice surface temperature of minus 3.5-4 °C.
Set and light effects were not allowed in figure skating competitions, and costumes became the only auxiliary factor in the art performance. Men wear long trousers and women can wear skirts or jumpsuits. The background music of the figure skating competition should be matched with the action, reflecting the theme and mood of the arrangement.
The ice knife for figure skating is different from other ice sports in that it has a shallow semicircular arc under the knife body and a knife tooth at the front to facilitate jumping and rotation.
The scene of figure skating is beautiful, and if the audience is not finished, they can throw gifts to the stadium at the end of the game to express their love for the players.
