short track
Tight ice circuit
Short track is a form of speed skating on a smaller indoor rink, typically 111 meters around, where skaters race in tight packs rather than against the clock.
The close quarters create constant jockeying and frequent crashes, making it more dramatic than long track racing.
She won gold in the short track relay at the Olympics.
