What is backcountry skiing?
Cross country skiing is a winter sport where one glides across domains covered with snow skis wearing and poles. It is a popular sport in countries that have large flat snow-covered areas such as northern Europe, the Canada, Alaska and the North-East Western United States. Cross country skiing is part of the Nordic skiing sport family, which includes ski jumping and a mix of ski jumping called Nordic combined skiing.
To win the events of cross country skiing, the athlete must finish the race in the shortest time.

Why girls can not go skiing in the Olympics?
I read an article online today about how the Women were not allowed to ski in the Olympics. There was a lot of statistics about how the girls were jumping from the Wright sport, there are hundreds around the world compete at the international level, and most girls are even better than men. The article also talked of how not even dangerous, and many other sports that are much more dangerous than the competitors were women. This does not seem right. It is the only Sport Games Winter Olympics without the category of women. This seems ....?? discrimination
Here's the Wikipedia entry on jumping Ski the Olympic Games, noting in 2006 the request to include women: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ski_jumping_at_the_Winter_Olympics My feeling is that this is due to tradition. started ski jumping in Norway - has been an attraction "in the popular ski fairgrounds in 1800. That alone should lead us to infer men only then - and that is the format that was introduced at the Olympics. Ref: http://www.factmonster.com/spot/winter-olympics-ski-jumping.html Courses - The Olympics can be changed - and changed over the years. In ski jumping, the height of the hill has changed. More importantly, sports have added and removed. If sufficient demand and not enough room in the national-level events include ski jumping, women, and enough people participating - Then, when the IOC also agreed.

The Ancient Greek Olympics $15.55 The ancient Greeks were famous for their love of competition and athleticism. Their most important sporting festival, held at Olympia and honoring Zeus, became the inspiration for our modern Olympic games. It was open to the citizens of every Greek polis, and became so important, that all warfare had to be suspended for its duration.brThis book runs through the entire five-day session of the ancient games. The athletes' training and the actual sporting events--some familiar, some quite strange to the modern reader--are described in vivid detail and illustrated with both classical art from the collections of the British Museum and photographs of the modern Games. Day Two, for instance, starts with morning activities (a procession into the hippodrome, chariot and horse races), followed by the afternoon pentathlon events (discus, javelin, running, jumping, and wrestling), and ends with the evening celebration (winners' parade, victory hymns, feast, and revels). Supplemental sidebars--such as Homer's description of Odysseus' triumphant discus throw and an explanation of why athletes and trainers had to appear naked--add lively, colorful detail. Commentary on the modern Games and a running comparison of modern and ancient athletic events is scattered throughout the book, providing an important historical perspective on today's Olympics. Three supplemental chapters--Women at the Olympics, Games Elsewhere in Greece, and The End of the Olympics--complete this fascinating look at ancient Greek customs, competitive spirit, and character.brbrWoff offers a quick overview of the ancient games' purpose and structure.... Anecdotes from ancient writers flesh out the recital, and the illustrations--a mix of classical art and artifacts with shots of 20th-century Olympians--create visual links between the old and new games.--emKirkus Reviews/embrThe text brings to life the sights and sounds of the spectacle. Woff provides the sort of juicy information that student@/™™™™šÿ¾Úx |
