Our beloved event is now well into its forties, and still going strong. Together with the Organizing Commit- tee, I am very proud to welcome you to the 42nd SAS Pentathlon and to present our honorary guest, Tanja Frieden Tanja celebrated her greatest victory in Turin, Italy, on February 17, 2006, when she won the Olympic Gold medal in the Snowboard-cross competition, as the first ever in this discipline. At the end of that win- ter, she finished 2nd in the overall Snowboard-cross World Cup. Her athletic career began in 1996, lasting 14 years until withdrawing from active competitions in 2010 after sustaining serious injuries in a crash in a race. By that time, her achievements included the silver medal in the 1999 European Championships and a total of 32 top-three positions in the highest ranking international Snowboard-cross competitions. As a true international, she raced for Norway in the beginning and ended competing for Switzerland. And in appreciation of her great athletic achievements, Tanja was named Swiss female athlete of the year in 2006. Shortly after ending her athletic career, Tanja ventured into charitable and social engagements. She has been an athlete ambassador for Right To Play for many years, and still is. And she is the acting president of the association GoSnow.ch, called to life to increase the attractiveness of snow-related activities and ski camps amongst school children.

  • Sports of the Winter Olympics: Snowboarding
    Sports of The Winter Olympics: Snowboarding The Sport Packet #10 Halfpipe Competitors take off from the halfpipe’s rim, performing challenging aerial maneuvers, including flips, twists and spins. They complete each trick by traveling back and forth between the halfpipe’s walls. Athletes complete two runs. The event takes place in a semi-circular ditch, or half of a pipe, dug into the surface of a hill. The halfpipe is typically 110 meters long with 3 to 4 meter deep vertical sides, each on an 85 degree rounded slope. The width from wall to wall is 13 meters to 15 meters. The format for the men and women’s event is the same. Parallel Giant Slalom Two competitors race simultaneously side by side down two courses. They take two runs, switching sides after the first one. The setting of the courses, the configura- tion of the ground and the preparation of the snow must be as identical as possible. The format is the same for the men and women’s event. The vertical drop of the course must be between 120 meters and 200 meters. The number of turns should be equal to 11 percent to 15 percent of the vertical drop in meters. Athletes must navigate around gates, which are 20 meters to 25 meters apart. A gate consists of two poles - one outside pole and one turning pole. Triangular banners are fastened between the poles so lower edges of the flag touch the snow. The banner is 110 cm tall on its long side and 25 cm tall on the short side; its base length is 130 cm.

  • Seconda Parte/ / Le Olimpiadi, Quelle Che Sei La Finlandia E Solo a Lillehammer E Sapporo T'è Capitato Di Non Vincere L'oro
    Il nero muove verso il bianco... Lo abbraccia. Ha appena perduto, il nero, l'oro dei Giochi sui 1.500 metri di pattinaggio velocità. Aveva già vinto i mille metri, Shani Davis. Ma l'afroamericano, il primo a vincere un oro invernale, ha appena subito scacco matto dal bianco, l'italiano Enrico Fabris. Non si scompone Shani, sedici centesimi di troppo per l'oro, nove meglio del suo connazionale e poco amico Chad Hedrick. La conferenza stampa del dopo-gara li siederà affiancati, Chad e Shani, ancora bianco contro nero. Parole crude, pesanti... Non si guarderanno mai, uno contro l'altro! Fra battute ironiche a sfiorar l'insulto e alzar di spalle. Ma il giorno dopo, sul podio, sarà il bianco a muovere verso il nero, Chad verso Shani, con in mezzo Fabris. Hedrick stringe la mano di Davis: il disgelo. Tutto su quel podio che torinesi e italiani ricorderanno a lungo. Nella piazza più bella che la capitale del Piemonte abbia mai avuto. Piena della voglia di vivere, esserci e stare insieme. Colonna sonora di sedici giorni. Indimenticabilmente sedici come i centesimi di vantaggio dell'italiano sull'afroamericano... giochi di ghiaccio; il ghiaccio ha lasciato il segno... Come Ahn Hyun-Soo, coreano del sud che ha inciso ghirigori fantastici di linee sempre più strette sul ghiaccio dello short track, il suo sport.

Collection is probably easier. This Swiss miscellany is a collection of curious and quirky, statistical and historical, intriguing and interesting facts about Switzerland.

And yet some Swiss often seem almost embarrassed about their origins. 7 I recall radio programmes on August 1st and reports by foreign correspondents who Images: Small Number – Big Impact had been asked to find out how Switzerland was perceived by people in their host coun- try.

HISTORIQUE DU SPORT Après avoir figuré trois fois au programme des Jeux olympiques, le surf des neiges n’est plus considéré comme un « petit nouveau ». Toutefois, il a toujours la réputation d’être le plus dynamique, le plus progressif et le plus influent de tous les sports d’hiver. Il est donc difficile de savoir qui a construit la première planche à neige. Depuis qu’ils jouent dans la neige, les enfants tentent de dévaler la pente la plus proche en se tenant debout sur leur luge. On sait toutefois que la première planche à neige a été lancée sur le marché en 1965. Créé par Sherman Poppen de Muskegon, au Michigan, le « Snurfer » n’était en fait que deux skis retenus ensemble que le surfeur « stabilisait » en tenant une corde fixée à l’avant. Plus d’un demi-million de ces « jouets » ont été vendus dans les années 1960 et le Snurfer a révolutionné les sports d’hiver. Quatre autres personnes sont associées à l’origine du surf des neiges que l’on appelle aussi planche à neige.
