Ice Skating
Absolute precision for every ice skating discipline.
Professional timing
Introduction
In ice skating, millisecond precision (1/1000s) is essential to manage simultaneous finishes accurately. Microgate systems provide dedicated solutions for every discipline, from Speed Skating to Short Track. Thanks to the integration between Microgate devices, FinishLynx photo-finish technology, and transponder systems, every passage can be identified with certainty while ensuring precise management of pursuit races. This innovative approach, developed together with customers, guarantees technological reliability focused on the needs of athletes and timekeepers.

Examples of configurations:
flexible and customizable
We provide dedicated timing solutions for ice skating: in pursuit races, HiSens photocells detect passages and transmit them wirelessly to the ReiPRO timer, which manages both the race and display boards through the dedicated “pursuit” program. In Mass Start and Short Track events, integration with FinishLynx photo-finish and transponders ensures precise passage and finish detection. Every device is certified FIS, guaranteeing precision and reliability even at low temperatures.
