Pre-historic Nordic people invented skiing to assist hunting, and as a snow transport for themselves. The skis were like two pieces of wood, and were tied into the foot with a rope. The word ski comes from the old norse (nordic people language) word “skio”, that means “split piece of wood”. The oldest skis found (4500 years B.C.) While the time passed, people invented more advanced methods to produce skis. They started to make them longer and thinner, and they put some holders, to keep skis and boots together. So they removed the ropes and it became easier for them. : While the time passed, people invented more advanced methods to produce skis.

Ski equipment : Ski equipment Nowadays the skis have developed their perfect shape. There are also inventions for skier’s safety, like established gloves, head protection (helmet), back protection, etc. : Nowadays the skis have developed their perfect shape. There are also inventions for skier’s safety, like established gloves, head protection (helmet), back protection, etc. Slide 9: Those ones are placed in the ski sticks to hit the gate in order to free your way Those ones are placed in the under-knee part of the leg to avoid gate hitting in the skiers leg, or to push it in some cases. Hand protection Under-knee protection Also there is equipment to keep the skier warm. (ski socks, ski underwear, ski clothing, coat gloves, ski masks, etc. : Also there is equipment to keep the skier warm. (ski socks, ski underwear, ski clothing, coat gloves, ski masks, etc. These gloves are worn under the established gloves. There are different types of face masks. Slide 11: These ones are worn in ski races to decrease the air contact with the skier There are some ski clothes, for keeping the skier warm, and also they are beautiful. Slide 12: Racing Skis Racing boots : Racing boots Ski goggles and poles : Ski goggles and poles Types of skiing : Types of skiing There are two primary types of skiing techniques: : There are two primary types of skiing techniques: Telemark skiing, and Alpine skiing But there are a lot of subgroups. I’ll try to tell you some of these techniques. Telemark skiing : Telemark skiing This is a type of skiing not very used nowadays. It was popular in 80’s. Here the back side of the boot detaches from the ski. Slide 18: With this technique, skiers can move easily, but it’s not suggested to those who like high speeds. It is used by cross-country racers. Alpine skiing : Alpine skiing Race disciplines of alpine skiing are: -Slalom -Giant Slalom -Downhill -Super G Slalom : Slalom In the slalom discipline, the gates are closer to each other and are odd. The racer should have under-knee protection, hand protection, helmet protection, etc. The racer should go as much closer as possible to the gate and should hit it with his hand protection or under knee protection, in order to free his way. This is the course that slalom racers should follow : This is the course that slalom racers should follow Slide 22: Hand protection hit Under-knee protection hit Giant Slalom : Giant Slalom In this discipline gates are further from each other, and they are double, linked with a flag. In this discipline, the racer doesn’t need special equipment, because he doesn’t touch the gate. There is a possibility to touch it with the shoulder, but you don’t need anything for it. This is the course that giant slalom racers should follow : This is the course that giant slalom racers should follow A giant slalom course : A giant slalom course Here is a giant slalom racer : Here is a giant slalom racer Downhill : Downhill This is a high speed discipline. The racer’s speed is about 130 km/h. Skis are 30% longer than in slalom, to have more balance. Skis are over 2.3 m long. The risks are big. Gates are very far from each other, and they are all the same color (differently from the other disciplines). In this discipline, racers often jump, because of their high speed. This is the course that a downhill racer should follow : This is the course that a downhill racer should follow Downhill racer : Downhill racer Super G : Super G This is a combination of Giant Slalom and Downhill. It involves skiing between widely spaced gates as in Giant Slalom, but with fewer turns over a longer course and with higher speeds approaching those achieved in Downhill. The skis are also long (min. 205cm for men, and 200 for women) This is the course that a Super G racer should follow : This is the course that a Super G racer should follow Super G racer : Super G racer Ski crashes : Ski crashes Slide 34: Despite all this safety, all this equipment, there always will be accidents and ski crashes. Even the most famous and most talented skiers crash. Made by: : Made by: Erblin Kurtishi The end You do not have the permission to view this presentation.
