1889 what is the competition system of short track speed skating?

1, the short track speed skating competition adopts the elimination system, which is conducted in the form of preliminaries, divisions, semi-finals and finals.

2. Athletes start at the same starting line at the same time. According to the rules, the preliminary round will be decided by drawing lots, and the subsequent sub-stations will be decided according to the results of the last round. The station with good grades will be the inner lane. During the competition, athletes can overtake their opponents at any time without violating the rules.

3. Generally, athletes in the 500-meter and1000-m short-distance races start at the same time, and 6-8 athletes in the long-distance races above1500-m start at the same time. Only the top 3 athletes in each event can enter the next round. So ranking is more important than record. Because the track is short, many athletes slide at the same time, allowing physical contact to some extent.
