-3°C！ Indoor competition figure skating also requires perfect climatic conditions

At 9:55 this morning, the figure skating team competition will take the lead.

The figure skating event of the Beijing Winter Olympics will be held at the Capital Gymnasium in Beijing.

Is figure skating affected by meteorological factors?

Figure Skating venues require the ice to be thinner and softer. The ice temperature of the ideal figure skating field is -3°C, but the room temperature also has to create a warm spring feeling.

Perfect ice requires perfect weather conditions: from the time of ice making, the temperature, humidity and air pressure in the room are extremely demanding. The temperature probe of the meteorological department is generally placed at 0.3 cm below the ice, and the measured ice temperature is closest to the actual ice temperature.

Weather monitoring data is used to adjust the refrigeration system, encrypted temperature measurement, and ensure that the ice maker repairs the ice surface in time to obtain the best ice temperature and the smoothest ice surface.

Of course, the water used to make ice must be pure water, the higher the purity of the water, the harder the ice, and when the athlete rotates and jumps up to "smash" onto the ice, it is guaranteed that the ice will not crack.
