The 2022 Winter Olympics Skeleton Shoes Are The First to Use 3D-Printed Titanium Nail

On the morning of February 10, the "Snow Dragon" welcomed the debut of the Skeleton event in the Winter Olympic Games. China's Yin Zheng set a new track start record with 4.60 seconds.

In skeleton bobsled racing, success or failure may be determined at the beginning, although accurate turning is important -- the skis are controlled by tiny movements of the head and shoulders.

The critical is a run-up of about 25 meters. How fast a runner can run over that distance, and how effectively they convert that speed into the speed of the sled, is the key to winning. To help them hold onto the ice when they start, athletes have up to 300 tiny spikes on their running shoes.

Therefore, in the equipment of Skeleton, reducing wind resistance and increasing speed are the most important indicators. Yin was wearing spikes made by Anta when he set the track start record. The Skeleton shoes for the Winter Olympics, which is the first to use intelligent simulation design, rely on innovation to break through the layout of 12 invention patents, breaking the monopoly of European and American brands.

An'ta the launch of the steel frame snowmobiles shoes, with original industry guide plate and airfoil drag reduction design, can make the shoe body wind resistance by 10%, and lower the overall industry pioneered by #3D printing titanium alloy# studs design effectively enhanced reaction, using bionic fluid mechanics design guide line can reduce wall friction is 53.5%, nitrogen technology has the characteristics of low temperature resistant, high rebound in the bottom, The rebound rate of the material is as high as 82.6%, and the rebound rate of the technology material of the special-shaped curved carbon plate of the sole is increased by 2%.

In the field test of athletes in December last year, the performance of Anta shoes was much better than that of other overseas brands in the starting stage: the highest increase of 0.054 seconds, and the average increase of 0.023 seconds. Don't look down upon the mere fractions of a second, in last year's Steel bobsled World Cup division, the winner and runner-up only 0.06 seconds.

Winter Olympics Tips

Bobsledders start the race in a standing position, gaining starting speed by running, then slide headfirst down the course while lying flat on the bobsledders. Athletes also have to use their bodies to control the direction of the race, along a curved slide, the top speed of 135 kilometers per hour, flying near the ground. During the competition, athletes' bodies are subjected to up to five times the force of gravity.
