Short Track is a form of competitive ice skating where athletes race on an oval track. The races typically involve four to six skaters competing simultaneously, and the goal is to complete a set number of laps in the shortest time. The sport is known for its fast-paced action and strategic maneuvering, as skaters can overtake each other and use tactics to gain an advantage. Races are held in various distances, including 500 meters, 1000 meters, and 1500 meters. Short Track is featured in major competitions like the Winter Olympics, showcasing the skills of elite athletes from around the world.
