Harder, faster ice
for 1980 Olympics
United Press International
LAKE PLACID, N.Y. — De
mineralizing equipment will be
used to treat the water used for mak
ing ice on the 400-meter speed
skating rink at the 1980 Olympic
Winter Games. Water of low min
eral content has been found to pro
duce ice that is harder and has a fas
ter surface.
Minerals in water tend to make
ice that is mushy and uneven, said a
spokesman for Culligan, the com
pany installing the equipment.
That ice made from water of high
purity is faster for skating was first
observed by Soviet speed skaters on
a remote Siberian lake. They also
noted that the low-mineral ice kept
their skates sharper longer.
