The first three reports were published by the Women’s Sports Foundation. The fourth report was published by SHARP, the Sport, Health and Activity Research and Policy Center for Women and Girls. SHARP is a research center at the University of Michigan’s Institute for Research on Women and Gender, co-founded by the Women’s Sports Foundation.

The sixth report examines the same issues for the 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. It is intended to provide governing bodies, athletes, and policymakers at the national and international level with new and accurate information with an eye toward making the Olympic and Paralympic movement equitable for all. These reports can be found at: https://www.womenssportsfoundation.org/research/articles-and-reports/all/ The Women’s Sports Foundation is indebted to the study authors, Emily Houghton, Ph.D., Lindsay Pieper, Ph.D., and Maureen Smith, Ph.D., whose research excellence brought this project to fruition.

    Media information LAAX OPEN 2019 New: Night final in the superpipe on Saturday, 19 January 2019 International snowboarding event at the ‘world’s best freestyle resort’ in LAAX, Switzerland, from 14 to 19 January 2019 (LAAX, Switzerland – 25 October 2018) – The LAAX OPEN will take place for the fourth year in succession from 14 to 19 January 2019 and will include Europe’s most important and prestigious snowboarding competition for slopestyle and the halfpipe. It is based on a tradition of freestyle movement, which LAAX has been establishing with these events for over three decades. Like in tennis and golf, OPEN events are also the most illustrious competitions in snowboarding. With additionally a whole host of side events bringing the LAAX roots into the modern world, the LAAX OPEN is the showpiece in the riders’, fans’ and iconic-devotees’ calendar. A high-quality field is guaranteed at the FIS Snowboard World Cup: prestigious titles, highest amount of world ranking points and CHF 200,000 in prize money are up for grabs. On the innovative slopestyle course, the leading freestylers wow the spectators with new tricks on the rail and bold aerial moves as well as with crazy rotations and stylish airs on the over 200-metre-long superpipe. The list of winners of the LAAX OPEN includes well-known Olympic medal winners from all over the world, such as Mark McMorris (CAN), Max Parrot (CAN), Ayumu Hirano (JPN), Iouri Podladtchikov (SUI), Chloe Kim (USA), Jiayu Liu (CHN), Jamie Anderson (USA) and Enni Rukajärvi (FIN). The absolute highlight of the LAAX OPEN 2019 will be the halfpipe finals – when night turns into day at 2,252 metres above sea level, when darkness is summoned ‘spot on’ and when the floodlights light up the superpipe, the speaker begins the countdown and the spectators cheer wildly.
