专家为圣约翰斯Brier准备冰壶冰面

加拿大冰壶协会首席冰技师Greg Ewasko已花费34年完善冰壶比赛冰面。他领导将Mary Brown's Centre溜冰场改造为Montana's Brier比赛场地的努力,该赛事持续至3月8日。该过程涉及洒珠处理冰面,确保冰壶正确滑动和弯曲。

Greg Ewasko在青少年时期打冰壶时对制冰产生兴趣。16岁时,他观看溜冰场工作人员调整冰面以控制冰壶速度和弯曲,这激发了他的热情。20岁出头,他参加冰技师课程,并通过社区参与逐步积累经验。 Ewasko担任冰技师34年,过去7年任加拿大冰壶协会首席冰技师。为圣约翰斯Mary Brown's Centre举办的Montana's Brier,他与两名其他技师和24名志愿者合作。场馆标准冰球冰面须转化为洒珠冰壶冰面,此过程需36至48小时。 准备从用激光平整冰面开始,随后视需切割并大流量水冲。然后涂白表面,并安装圆圈、贴纸、线条、地毯、记分牌和灯光。洒珠为关键步骤,用水箱背包施加两层水滴,轻刮表面。这让冰壶获正确速度和弯曲,Ewasko解释道:“当你洒珠并冰上有合适厚度的珠子时,它会让冰壶弯曲并有正确速度。” 每场比赛前,冰面刮平并重洒珠。Ewasko在2026米兰-科尔蒂纳冬奥会任副首席冰技师后抵圣约翰斯。他预计3月9日起休息,至9月重启。“圣约翰斯是独特之地,来制冰观冰壶赛事,”Ewasko说,提及Brad Gushue为明星。
