  • Snowparks New Winter Sports Facilities 
    Dirk Scheumann & Marco Rues Snowparks New Winter Sports Facilities Dirk Scheumann & Marco Rues Snowparks New Winter Sports Facilities Bibliographic information of the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek (German National Library) The Deutsche Nationalbibliothek lists this publication in the Deutsche Na- tionalbibliografie; detailed bibliographic data are available on the Internet at http://dnb.d-nb.de. Imprint Editor Federal Institute of Sport Science Graurheindorfer Straße 198 · 53117 Bonn [email protected] www.bisp.de As of July 2017 Layout Andrea Willems 3 Foreword Freestyle skiing and snowboarding are gaining popularity in winter sports resorts around the world. Competitive sport structures have now been established for these new sports, paving the way for freestyle skiing and snowboarding to become part of the Olympic Winter Games. Functional needs-based sports facilities are a prerequisite for a successful commitment to compe- titive sports. The mere presence of attractive sports facilities encourages people to take up sporting activities – the basic prerequisite for a competitive sports culture in the future. The absence of such sports facilities rules out successful participation in top-class sports at international level. In snow- boarding and skiing, the validity of this premise has been demonstrated by the performance of Ger- man athletes in the new Olympic winter sports, such as halfpipe riding, slopestyle and cross. At the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi 2014, 20 competitions (of 98 in total) were carried out in freestyle skiing and snowboarding. German athletes failed to win any medals. The poor performance can also be attributed to the fact that the infrastructure in Germany is inadequate compared to countries that are successful at a global scale, such as the USA, France, Canada and Scandinavia.
