ISU Rules For Short Track Racing Suits
Share
For ISU short track, racing suits must be form-fitting, made for safety and competition use, and follow ISU equipment and uniform rules. They also must clearly identify the nation, with a design that distinguishes the ISU member, and the front and back upper body showing the national flag; simple artwork is allowed.
The ISU’s current short track rules page points to the latest sports rules and guidance effective 12 June 2026. A recent ISU communication also states that the safety standards for racing-suit fabric are based on abrasion- and cut-resistance requirements.[isu-d8g8b4b7ece7aphs.a03.azurefd]
A practical summary of the suit-related requirements is:
-
Tight-fitting racing suit, not loose clothing.
-
National identification and flag visible on the upper body.
-
Fabric must meet ISU safety standards for protection.
-
Other equipment rules, such as glove requirements, may also apply in competition.[mohawksiceracingclub]
