The millions of women be represented at a minimal 20% standard in young girls and women who watch the Winter Games leadership positions.

    Nr 713 2014. g. martā Lai mūsu sportistiem Sočos veicas! Kuŗš gan nezina, ka ir sākušās 22. Ziemas olimpiskās spēles Krievijas kūrortpilsētā Soči. Divas nedēļas sportisti no visas pasaules sacentīsies dažādos ziemas sporta veidos. Ir visnotaļ labas izredzes, ka Latvijas komanda no Sočiem pārbrauks mājās ar medaļām. Piemēram, Martins Dukurs pagājušās sezonas laikā skeletona disciplīnā daudz biežāk guva uzvaru nekā zaudēja un sezonas beigās bija pirmajā vietā pasaulē, saņemot arī lielu naudas balvu par to, ka uzvarējis pēdējos trīs sacensību posmos. Ļoti iespējams, ka sezonas kronis būs zelta medaļa. (2010. gada spēlēs Kanadā Martins ieguva sudraba medaļu.) Ļoti labus rezultātus ir sasniedzis arī viņa brālis Tomass, un nav izslēgta iespēja, ka abi brāļi kāps uz pjedestala. Kamaniņu sportā pirms četriem gadiem brāļi Juris un Andris Šici ieguva sudraba medaļu, un viņi piedalās arī šogad. Varbūt izredzes ir arī viņiem. Tāpat Latvijai ir labas bobsleja komandas. Citur nekas īpaši nespīd. Mums ir spēcīga hokeja komanda, bet pret pasaules grandiem diez vai izdosies noturēties. Biatlonā Latvija kādreiz bija spēcīga, pēdējos gados nekas īpašs nav sasniegts. Kalnu slēpošanā mūsu valsts nav un nevar būt lielvalsts, jo Gaiziņš kā nekā ir tikai 311,5 metrus augsts. Arī daiļslidošanā jau sen nevienam no Latvijas nekādu dižu panākumu nav bijis. Medaļas mājās pārvedīs, visticamāk, tie, kuŗi lielā ātrumā triecas lejup pa trasi uz skeletona, kamaniņās vai bobā. Lai kur Olimpiskās spēles tiek rīkotas un lai kādos apstākļos tās notiek, spēles pašas ir sadraudzības un draudzīgas konkurences sarīkojums. Tāpēc vēlreiz – lai mūsu sportistiem veicas, turēsim visi īkšķus, lai tas tā būtu!

  • Winter Sports and Your Feet
    Winter Sports And Your Feet Winter's Own Sports Under the pastoral beauty of a blanket of fresh-fallen snow, the outdoors beckons. For a while, winter doesn't feel quite so cold, and people of all ages feel a sense of youthful excitement about bundling up and getting outside. From the downhill rush of snow skiing or sledding, to rough-and-tumble ice hockey or placid casual skating, winter provides a fast track for fun and cardiovascular health. In the absence of long, sunny days, winter sports provide the exercise active Americans otherwise couldn't get without being cooped up in a gym. High speeds attained on skis and skates make for exhilarating sports but expose the body to injuries. Healthy feet and ankles, which act together as accelerators, steering, brakes, and shock absorbers in winter sports, are not only crucial to success in competition but also help keep the body upright and out of the emergency room. Any problems with the foot or ankle could have serious repercussions for winter sports participants. Preventing Cold Feet Without warm, dry clothes, any wintertime outdoor activity is a potential health risk. Proper footwear--insulated, waterproof boots or shoes--is as important as coats, hats, or gloves in the outdoors during the winter. Socks are also important. Podiatric physicians recommend a single pair of thick socks made of acrylic fibers, or a blend including them, that "wick" away moisture caused by perspiration in the boot. Feet soaked in snow should get back indoors quickly. In sub-freezing temperatures, soaked feet are in immediate danger of frostbite, a serious, painful condition that can result in loss of toes.

Professor Cristina Mislán Professor Sandy Davidson Professor Amanda Hinnant Professor Becky Scott MASCULINITY AND THE NHL Acknowledgements I would like to begin by thanking my committee chair, Dr. Cristina Mislán, for her guidance and help throughout this project, and beyond. From the first class I took at Missouri, Mass Media Seminar, to the thesis itself, she encouraged me to see the world through different lenses and inspired a passion for cross-disciplined study. Her assistance was invaluable in completing this project. Next, I would like to thank my committee members: Dr. Sandy Davidson, Dr. Amanda Hinnant and Dr. Becky Scott. All three members provided insight and feedback into different portions of the project at its early stages and each one made the study stronger. Dr. Davidson’s tireless support and enthusiasm was infectious and her suggestion to explore the legal concerns the NHL might have about violence and head injuries led me to explore the commoditization of players.

  • The Beginning of the Winter Olympics
    The beginning of the Winter Olympics Artificial ice rinks around Europe lead to figure skating being adopted into the Olympic program as early as the first Olympic congress in Paris in 1894. Even so, skating was not included in the games themselves until 1908 in London. Members of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) worked to ensure that Sweden would include winter sports in a program in conjunction with the Olympic summer games in Stockholm in 1912. The Swedes were strongly opposed to this as they had organized the Nordic Games every fourth year since 1901. These games were constituted a set of winter sports, both on skis and skates, and in addition they had skijoring after reindeer and various exercises involving the kick sled. The Nordic Games never achieved the popularity either home or abroad that the Swedes dreamed about. Nevertheless, they fought tooth and nail against the various attempts to include winter sports in the Olympic program. A key player in this opposition movement was Victor Balck, a man who was the driving force behind the Nordic Games at the same time that he was Vice President of the IOC. In 1914, the Norwegian Ski Federation (NSF) had a different perspective on the question of winter Olympic Games. Following a request from Germany, the NSF supported the idea of an Olympic winter event in conjunction with the Olympic Games in Berlin in 1916. At the Olympic Congress in Paris in June of 1914, it was Norway that formally proposed that winter Olympic Games be held in Feldberg in the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) the winter before the Berlin games.

  • Basic Questions About World Winter Games
    BASIC QUESTIONS ABOUT WORLD WINTER GAMES Irena Martínková Faculty of Physical Education and Sport Charles University in Prague José Martího 31, 162 52 Praha 6, Czech Republic [email protected] Abstract This paper asks three basic questions concerning world winter games (Winter Olympic Games and related events). I shall point at the features of these games that we usually take for granted. The three basic questions asked in this text will concern the three main words from the title: ‘world’, ‘winter’, and ‘games’. Firstly, I shall ask questions about what winter sport means, which is related to the origin of the Winter Olympic Games at the beginning of the 20th century. Secondly, I shall highlight the topic of internationality concerning winter games, which has always been problematic. Thirdly, I shall explain why Olympic Games are ‘Games’ and not ‘Sports’. Here, I shall present the distinction between ‘Olympic Games’ and ‘world championships’, which was an important distinction for Pierre de Coubertin and his followers, but which has now almost disappeared. Introduction This paper examines the topic of world winter games. World winter games are international events that comprise winter sport competitions, but are considered to be more than the sum of sport competitions, and as such are called ‘games’. These include mainly the Winter Olympic Games, but not exclusively – they also relate to Winter Paralympic Games, Winter Youth Olympic Games as well as the European Youth Olympic Festivals, since these events are based on the concepts of Olympism. Presently, the Winter Olympic Games, being one of the world’s most important sport events, influences our thinking about sport in general, as well as about winter sports.
