  • 3671 Argentine Tango (Gold Dance Test)
    3671 ARGENTINE TANGO (GOLD DANCE TEST) Music - Tango 4/4 Tempo - 24 measures of 4 beats per minute - 96 beats per minute Pattern - Set Duration - The time required to skate 2 sequences is 1:10 min. The Argentine Tango should be skated with strong edges and considerable “élan”. Good flow and fast travel over the ice are essential and must be achieved without obvious effort or pushing. The dance begins with partners in open hold for steps 1 to 10. The initial progressive, chassé and progressive sequences of steps 1 to 6 bring the partners on step 7 to a bold LFO edge facing down the ice surface. On step 8 both partners skate a right forward outside cross in front on count 1 held for one beat. On step 9, the couple crosses behind on count 2, with a change of edge on count 3 as their free legs are drawn past the skating legs and held for count 4 to be in position to start the next step, crossed behind for count 1. On step 10 the man turns a counter while the woman executes another cross behind then change of edge. This results in the partners being in closed hold as the woman directs her edge behind the man as he turns his counter. Step 11 is strongly curved towards the side of the ice surface. At the end of this step the woman momentarily steps onto the RFI on the “and” between counts 4 and 1 before skating step 12 that is first directed toward the side barrier.

  • An Ice Rink Refrigeration System Based on CO2 As Secondary Fluid in Copper Tubes
    E:369 An Ice Rink Refrigeration System based on CO2 as Secondary Fluid in Copper Tubes by Khuram Shahzad Master of Science Thesis Master Program of Sustainable Energy Engineering 2006 Department of Energy Technology Royal Institute of Technology Stockholm, Sweden CO2 as Secondary Fluid in a Copper Tube System ABSTRACT This report is a study of the use of copper tubes with CO2 as heat transfer fluid in ice rink applications. Copper tubes can be rolled rather easily up to the required length which decreases installation cost and simplifies the procedure. A test ice rink was built at IUC Ref Centre, Katrineholm with copper tubes. FEMLAB and EES are two softwares that were used for analysis. The comparison between 12.7 mm diameter copper tubes with and without plastic foil cover, 9.5 mm diameter copper tubes with and without plastic foil cover, 21.3 mm diameter steel pipes and 25 mm diameter plastic pipes is presented in the report. The reason to have plastic foil over copper tubes is to avoid the minor risk of chemical corrosion. Furthermore the foil serves as mechanical wear protection as well, which in this case could appear if rubbing would occur due to thermal expansion and contraction. It is found that 12.7 mm copper tube with plastic foil is good choice in terms of heat transfer. At rated heat flux of 100 W/m2 and with a pitch of 100 mm, it is 0.18 oC better than 9.5 mm copper tube with plastic foil. This report includes the investigation which shows that there is no danger of movement of copper tubes inside the rink bed due to thermal expansion and contraction during operation.

  • Chapter 2 Building a Society with a Lifelong Love of Sports [PDF:556KB]
    BUILDING A SOCIETY WITH Chapter 2 A LIFELONG LOVE OF SPORTS Part 1 Basic Measures to Promote Sports 1 Progress Made in Basic Plan for the Promotion of Sports, and Direction of Future Measures (1) Basic Plan for the Promotion of Sports Sports enrich our lives and make us more balanced. Also, sports satisfy both physical and mental needs. Sports are enjoyed by all people in the world. As an activity that influences our lives both physically and mentally, sport is thus essential to the creation of an optimistic, affluent, and vigorous society and in the sound physical and mental development of the individual. It is therefore of fundamental importance to allow people to partake in sports activities throughout their lives. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), based on the Basic Plan for the Promotion of Sports formulated in September 2000, is implementing various measures to promote sports. The basic plan provides the fundamental principles for promoting sports in Japan based on the Sports Promotion Law and sets out specific promotion activities, including targets for the decade from FY2001 to FY2010. Progress of the Basic Plan for the Promotion of Sports (Example) (1) Measures to improve the local environment to create a lifelong sports society To increase the percentage of people doing a sport at least once a week to at least 50% (one out of two persons) • Progress As a result of boosting a range of different measures to create a society in which all people can enjoy sport at every stage of their lives (“lifelong sports society”), including nationwide deploy- ment of comprehensive community sports clubs, the percentage of adults doing a sport at least once a week increased from 37.2% in 2000 to 38.5% in 2004.

  • About US Figure Skating Tests
    All About U.S. Figure Skating Tests If you or your child recently started taking private lessons in figure skating you may have heard from your coach, or other skaters about the test structure, or been told to start working on “moves in the field” or “pre- preliminary” or your “first test”. The test structure can be confusing to new skaters, but it is one of the most important parts of figure skating, and will soon become an integral part of your skating language! WHAT IS THE TEST STRUCTURE AND WHY DOES IT MATTER? The test structure is often called the “backbone of U.S. Figure Skating.” Starting with the first test you take, through your entire career, it is the national standard that you are measured against. When you fill out applications for just about everything in figure skating, the first question will be “What is the highest U.S. Figure Skating Test passed?” U.S. Figure Skating tests are offered in the following tracks: 1. Moves in the Field 2. Free Skate 3. Pattern Dance or Solo Pattern Dance 4. Free Dance or Solo Free Dance 5. Pairs The level you enter in competitions is determined by your highest test passed, often sessions at rinks are divided by the skaters’ test levels, and skaters registering for a camp or clinic are divided by test level. Each U.S. Figure Skating test that you pass goes on your permanent record, and is an achievement you always carry with you. In fact, your tests passed and your placement at qualifying competitions are the ONLY things on your U.S.
