Cut-resistant clothing does not cover the entire body

The short-track speed skating is a high-risk sport. In order to protect the athletes, the key part of their clothing consists of cut-resistant materials. However, not all parts are made of cut-resistant materials. Lan Li and Li Xin also hope that athletes' clothing can be improved and athletes' safety can be further protected.

Lan Li introduced that the short-sleeve skater's clothing has been improved, including the arteries, including many key positions in the body, are made of cut-resistant material. However, positions such as the abdomen and the arm are not made of cut-resistant material. "The position of the arm, the abdomen, and the quality of the gloves are still in the process of improvement," said Lan.

Li Wei said that for the development of the short-track speed skating project, it is recommended that the ISU further improve the athlete's clothing. However, Lan Li emphasized that the improvement of clothing needs a gradual process. “This requires a lot of procedures and may even involve legal issues. The confirmation of materials requires processes. In addition, the garments also need certification.” (This article Source: Dahe Net - Dahe News)
