The programme then got underway in 1997/98, funded by the World Championship Candidates fees. More than 15 years later, at its Meetings during the FIS Congress 2012 in Kangwonland (KOR), the Council decided to connect the Programme with FIS Solidarity Support so that there is a better coordination between these two areas and to avoid the overlapping of activities. A Council working group was appointed to undertake this project, and the programme encompassing both of these components has been re-named the FIS Development Programme (FDP). The scope of the programme is designed to improve developing ski nations’ own knowledge and competencies, and two experts from the FIS Development Programme member National Ski Associations; Milan Bozic and Freddy Keirouz were appointed by the Council to serve as advisors in the working group. Professional support for the organisation of the activities is handled through the FIS Office and by the appointed experts arranging the training camps and other activities. Who is a FIS Development Member? Only a full FIS Member National Ski Associations can be members of the FIS Development Programme. Associate and provisional members of FIS are not eligible for FIS Development Programme Membership. All FIS Member National Ski Associations with one vote are automatically member of the FIS Development Programme. FIS Development Programme Members will be updated at each International Ski Congress in view of the above membership criteria.

The FIS Solidarity programme is designed to assist active National Ski Associations with the development of the sport in their country. Support is specifically targeted at those Member Associations who do not profit from the income generated through rights for the organisation of World Cup races or through sponsorship for their National Ski Teams. Additionally contributions to projects from National Ski Associations which serve the development of the sport as a whole will be considered. facts & figures APPLICCATIONS FROM MORE THAN FIS SOLIDARITY 145 SUPPORTED PROJETCT OVER 37 DIFFERENT PROJECTS SUPPORTED NSA‘S SINCE THE AND MANY MORE TO ON MORE THAN 4 BEGGINING OF THE COME...

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Winter Sports Science Is Fun Science
    WinterWinter SPORTSSPORTS ScienceScience Win Skating Passes or the Grand Prize! Details Inside Mention winter sports and you think of skating, skiing, sledding and hockey—fast, active sports that keep us warm in the winter air. Though many have now moved indoors, winter sports all got their start outdoors. They were not only a test of skill, but of ability to withstand the elements of cold, ice and snow. Because of that, the world’s best winter sports athletes originally came from countries with cold weather and hard winters—places like Sweden, Canada, Germany and Switzerland. That has all changed today. Great winter sports athletes come from everywhere and perform everywhere. From California to Vermont, and from Idaho to Colorado, people are practicing and playing winter sports. And their talents are on display in college and world-wide competition every year. The Hows and Whys What Sports Are We Talking About? Rules tell us how winter sports are played. But how do winter sports work? Here is a list of the winter sports that will be discussed. Some of the sports may be new to Why do skaters spin as they do? What lets a ski jumper hang in the air for you. In the course of this section, we will explain how they are played, as well as how they work. huge distances? What controls how a hockey puck bounces? Why do bobsleds look like bullets?

  • Position Statement
    Position Statement Winter Sports Safety and Helmet Use This Position Statement was developed as an educational tool based on the opinion of the authors. It is not a product of a systematic review. Readers are encouraged to consider the information presented and reach their own conclusions. Every year, thousands of youths and adults are injured by winter downhill slope activities such as snow skiing, snowboarding, sledding, and tobogganing. According to the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), more than 241,700 winter sports-related injuries were treated in hospital emergency departments, doctors’ offices, and clinics in 2014. The medical, legal, work loss, and pain and suffering costs associated with these injuries totaled more than $6.65 billion.1 Common injuries caused by winter sports include sprains, strains, dislocations and bone fractures to the arms and legs, as well as facial injuries and trauma to both the head and spine. Estimates from numerous countries indicate that head injuries account for 9 percent to 19 percent of all injuries reported by ski patrols and emergency departments.2 According to a CPSC study, more than 40 percent of snow skiing and snowboarding-related head injuries reported each year could have been prevented or minimized with helmet use.4 The purpose of a helmet is to partially absorb the force and dissipate the energy of blunt trauma to the head. Although helmets do not decrease the risk of injury, they can decrease the severity. A national study in Sweden found that the use of helmets has reduced head injuries by approximately 50 percent.5 Skiing helmets are graded on their ability to withstand frontal blunt and sharp impacts, retention strength, and resistance to roll-off.

  • 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.
