“It’s just like football,” explains Rémy Boehler, the Frenchman charged with ensuring that the rink at the Gangneung Ice Arena is ‘pitch perfect’ for the figure skating competition at PyeongChang 2018. “If the grass is well prepared, you have a better chance of a high-quality match; if it isn’t it’s more difficult,” he adds.
