Winter Youth Olympic Games 2020 Listening Comprehension Worksheet with listening comprehension by Marcus Lachmund Winter Youth Olympic Games 2020 Read On • January 2020 • page 6 Seite 1 von 6 Listening comprehension 1. Listen to the first part of the text. It contains 12 mistakes. Underline each wrong word, and write your corrections in the right column. You will hear the text twice. The city of Lausanne in Switzerland is welcoming 1,818 young athletes (01) to the Winter Youth Olympic Games from January 9 to 22. Representing (02) more than 70 countries, teenagers between 15 and 18 years old will vie (03) for medals in winter sports like Alpine skiing, figure skating, ice hockey, (04) snowboarding, and bobsleigh. In fact, the young athletes also have the (05) opportunity to be mentored by Olympic champions. (06) The Youth Olympic Games were created to motivate more young people (07) to start competing at an elite level. As the regular Olympic Games, the (08) Youth Olympics Games (YOG) take place every four years. The first (09) Summer Youth Olympics were held in Singapore in 2010, the worst (10) Winter Youth Olympics in Innsbruck, Austria in 2012. (11) The youth games are always meant to help young athletes prepare for (12) the regular Olympics. They get to improve their skills and experience (13) competing at a big and prestigious international sports event – and learn (14) how to handle the pressure which goes along with it. Many of the (15) Lausanne Olympians are hoping to qualify for the regular Winter (16) Olympics in Beijing in 2022. (17) This is the aim of 16-year-old Van Ledger who is competing for the US (18) biathlon team. Biathlon is a sport that combines cross-country skiing (19) and rifle shooting. The number of biathletes is relatively small in the (20) US, so Van is eager to try out where he stands internationally, especially (21) against countries where the sport is much more popular. He plans to (22) qualify for the US World Cup and, of course, the American Olympic (23) team, either for 2022 or 2026. (24) © 2019 Carl Ed. Schünemann KG Bremen. Alle Rechte vorbehalten.

On the one hand, your young athletes once again did our continent proud, winning the lion’s share of the medals and sending a clear message that Europe’s future on the Olympic stage is in good hands. But on the other, the untimely passing of our dear friend and colleague Patrick Baumann was a terrible shock and the hole it has left in the Olympic Movement will be a difficult one to fill. On behalf of all of us at the EOC, and the Olympic Movement throughout Europe, I offer my sincere condolences to everyone affected, in particular his wife and children. He will be profoundly missed. It is difficult to transition into a more lighthearted topic after that, but I am sure Patrick would have wanted us all to continue promoting sport and the Olympic values with the same amount of passion or possibly even more now that he is gone. So with that, I would like to congratulate all the ENOCs and their athletes for their hard work, dedication and success in Argentina. In the end, the Russian Federation topped the standings with 59 medals, led by swimmers Kliment Kolesnikov and Andrei Minakov, who each won six golds and one silver.

  • 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.

  • Youth Olympic Games Awareness: an Analysis of Parents of Elite Youth Sport Athletes
    29 Youth Olympic Games Awareness: An Analysis of Parents of Elite Youth Sport Athletes Jeffrey C. Petersen, Baylor University Sarah Deitz, Brianna Leitzelar, Ball State University David Bellar, University of Louisiana at Lafayette Lawrence W. Judge, Ball State University Abstract The Youth Olympic Games (YOG) were established to bolster interest in the Olympic movement among the world’s youth. However, several prior studies have documented low levels of YOG awareness among multiple populations. As parents form a primary stakeholder group in the development of youth sport, this study sought to determine the awareness of the YOG compared to other mega-sport festivals, specifically within a group of elite youth athletes’ parents. A 24-item survey instrument was developed based upon prior YOG research surveys with additional comparative questions related to the 2012 London Olympic Games (LOG) and the Winter X Games (WXG). The results indicated that the YOG are lesser known than the WXG and the LOG. Despite the high level of elite youth sport engagement of this population, the low levels of YOG awareness and event consumption intent demonstrate a need for additional marketing and promotions for the YOG. Introduction A lack of new younger fans is leading to an aging audience for the Olympic Games. For example, median age for U.S. viewers for the Sochi Games in 2014 was 55 while the 2002 Salt Lake City Games was 48 (Duff & Rossingh, 2015). Across the entirety of the Sochi Winter Games, coverage the 18-49 age group viewership netted a record low rating compared to other Olympic Games of 5.5 or just over 21 million viewers in this crucial demographic group (Patten, 2014).

Dakar will be our vital space and Senegal our fundamental space for the spectacular success of these Games, which will bring together thousands of young people from across the world. This action plan is thus part of the efforts of this wonderful country, Senegal, to prepare Africa to host youths of the world. It will also demonstrate our capacity to organise a major international event and rise to the summit of DAKAR Olympism. 2022 Moreover, two new sports disciplines will be introduced at Dakar 2022, baseball5 and wushu, a martial art. This will actually increase the number of youth-centred sports. Both sports add to karate, skateboarding, climbing and surfing, which were selected by the Organising Committees for the Olympic Games in Tokyo, postponed to 2021, and Paris 2024.
