    Usually dry but I think it actually melts under the pressure of a blade, so events with skates might have to go in the dry wet Olympics.

        The phrase “pre-melted” is making me chuckle. If it’s pre-melted, surely it’s frozen? If it’s frozen, isn’t that just ice?

          Eh, that’s what they called it in the article and I’m neither a physicist nor a material scientist.
