2Good morning/afternoon ladies and gentlemen:My name is.(CHN), you can call me.(ENG), I am from.(school). I am very happy to be here to talk about Winter Olympic Games. Winter Olympics will be held in Beijing and Zhangjiakou in 2022. I will briefly introduce Speed Skating here. Speed SkatingSpeed skating is a competitive form of ice skating in which the competitors race each other in travelling a certain distance on skates. Types of speed skating are long track speed skating, short track speed skating, and marathon speed skating.Now, I will introduce the short track speed skating and long track speed skating. Short trackRaces are run on a 111-meter track. Short track races are always run in a mass start format in which two to six skaters may race at once. Skaters may be disqualified for false starts, impeding, and cutting inside the track. False starts occur when a skater moves before the gun goes off at the start of a race. Impeding occurs when one skater cuts in front of another skater and causes the first skater to stand up to avoid collision or fall. Cutting inside the track occurs when a skaters skates goes inside the blocks which mark the track on the ice. If disqualified, the skater will be given last place.Long trackRaces are run on a 400-meter oval. In all individual competition forms, only two skaters are allowed to race at once. Skaters must change lanes every lap. The skater changing from the outside lane to the inside has to do it at once. If a skater misses their race or falls, they have the option to race their distance again. There are no finals in long track, all rankings are by time.Also, we need to learn English to promote international communication. English is beautiful, English is useful and English is powerful. So,
