PRESS RELEASE MDV Sports Heads Into the Olympic Season with A PRESS RELEASE MDV Sports heads into the Olympic season with a strong team Straubing, Germany, 1 June 2021. Alice Robinson, World Cup ski racer and shooting star from New Zealand, has extended her successful collaboration with MDV Sports and confirmed her trust in Marker, Dalbello and Völkl equipment for the upcoming Olympic season. At the end of the 2020/2021 FIS World Cup season, additional athletes opted to change gear as well, now trusting in the triumvirate of brands for the coming 2022 Winter Olympic Games in Beijing. Newcomers to the Alpine team include German racer Sebastian Holzmann and Austria’s Chiara Mair. But they are not the only promising new team members to join the ski manufacturer Völkl, the traditional Italian company Dalbello and the bindings manufacturer Marker this winter Olympic season. Alice Robinson and MDV Sports: the success story continues Alice Robinson aims to write a new chapter in her success story with MDV Sports: the World Cup ski racer has extended her contract, reaffirming her trust in her equipment provider in the upcoming winter Olympic season. An official member of the MDV International Race Team since 2017, she races with Völkl skis and Marker bindings and, since 2018, Dalbello ski boots. In March 2021, the young New Zealander again attracted attention with a strong finish in the 2020/21 World Cup finals in Switzerland, racking up her first giant slalom win of the season in the last race. With that, the 19-year-old Robinson became the only skier besides Slovenia’s Mateja Svet ever to earn three World Cup wins before reaching the age of 20. The young athlete has big plans for the upcoming season as well. Her goal? To compete for victory in the 2021/22 giant slalom overall World Cup and succeed at the Olympics. “We are delighted that Alice is part of the MDV family and grateful for the trust she has placed in our equipment and the team. We are confident that this partnership holds great promise going forward,” said Jonathan Wiant, President of Marker Dalbello Völkl. 1 Strong newcomers on the women’s team In addition to Alice Robinson and the MDV World Cup athletes Tina Robnik (SLO), Andrea Filser (GER), Mina Fürst Holtmann (NOR) and Martina Dubovska (CZE), who already trust in the three brands’ equipment, additional slalom and giant slalom skiers from several countries will be joining the women’s team in the coming season. The group includes Austria’s Chiara Mair and Bernadette Lorenz, who have already made the switch to Marker, Dalbello and Völkl gear. Croatia’s Leona Popovic is also set to tackle the new season with skis from the Straubing-based traditional company Völkl, boots by Dalbello and bindings by Marker. In addition, American skier Storm Klomhaus just recently confirmed her change of outfitter after feeling instantly at home with MDV Sports equipment during training. “We are very proud to welcome these talented young athletes to our MDV family and head into the Olympic season with such a strong women’s team,” said Eric Wolf, Racing Management MDV Sports, of the quantitative and qualitative growth of the women’s squad. For Sebastian Holzmann, it’s back to the roots with MDV Sports MDV Sports can also report a successful addition to the men’s team: German slalom specialist Sebastian Holzmann is changing outfitters and hoping for Olympic success with the new Marker, Dalbello and Völkl equipment. The switch to Völkl represents a journey back in time for the 28-year- old technical skier, who skied on the German brand as a teenager. For the coming season, Holzmann joins several World Cup stars who are again part of the MDV family, including Italian slalom specialist Stefano Gross along with Sebastian Foss-Solevaag (NOR) and Adrian Pertl (AUT). The Norwegian won the gold medal and the Austrian silver at the 2021 Alpine Ski World Championships in Cortina d’Ampezzo – a sensational double triumph for MDV Sports.

    3.pdlntornational Cuqkeme on BfDmechanics in Sports, TSU- Japan, Juiy 18-22,2016 BlOMECHANlCAL ANALYSIS OF VERTICAL JUMP WITH DIFFERENT FOREFOOT MORPHOLOGY Yang Shul, Yaodong Gul, Guoqing Ruan2and Li Yang2 Faculty of Sport Science, Ningbo University, Zhejiang, China1 Human Movement Research Lab, Anta Sports Products Limited, Jinjiang, China2 This study examined biomechanical differences between habitually barefoot male and habitually shod male during vertical jump. Foot morphology was measured with Easy-Foot-Scan. Foot kinetics and ankle kinematics were obtained from EMED pressure platform and Vicon motion analysis system as completing vertical jumps under barefoot condition. The results showed that habitually barefoot subjects had a significantly larger minimal distance between hallux and other toes. habitually unshod subjects showed larger loading under hallux and medial forefoot, while habitually shod subjects presented larger loading under medial and central forefoot. in addition, habitually barefoot male had smaller ankle plantarflexion, eversion and external rotation during vertical jump. Differences of kinematics and kinetics during vertical jump might attribute to the morphological differences in the toes region, which possibly explain the foot injury risks between habitually barefoot and habitually shod individuals. KEY WORDS: foot morphology, toes, plantar pressure INTRODUCTION: Forefoot width and toes separation increased significantly when walking barefoot. Robbins et al. (1987) indicated that the habitually barefoot feet likely to be injured than the habitually shod feet. Metatarsal pathologies were more serious in the habitually shod populations than that in the habitually barefoot populations (Zipfel et al.. 2007). This could illustrate that acquired behavior such as footwear wearing would affect the pathological fluctuation of metatarsus. Ankle sprain is one of the most significant injuries for participants of sports such as volleyball, basketball and soccer (Doherty et al.

  • Patrick Lang's Column NEWCOMERS DOMINATE FIRST WOMEN
    Patrick Lang’s Column 19th January 2020 NEWCOMERS DOMINATE FIRST WOMEN PARALLEL GIANT SLALOM AT SESTRIERE. A numerous and happy crowd enjoyed another day of exciting ski racing at Sestriere this Sunday in occasion of the maiden giant slalom parallel race organized on the final part of the sunbathed G. Agnelli course. After a series of intense one-to-one battles France’s Clara Direz prevailed in the last final beating little-known Austrian Elisa Moerzinger while Marta Bassino was 3rd after beating her teammate Federica Brignone, one of the two winners in Saturday’s race. After a round of qualification hold in the early morning, 32 competitors fought for points and honor on the short course which turned out to be tougher than expected for some of the favorites as Slovakia’s Petra Vlhova or USA’s Mikaela Shiffrin, both on the podium in Saturday’s giant slalom race. They of them didn’t survive the first rounds allowing Italy’s giant slalom team to celebrate another nice result with three of them ending among the top-5 as Sofia Goggia came in 5th. Clara Direz, who celebrated her first top-10 finish last month at Lienz, eliminated Shiffrin in the 2nd round while Vlhova lost in her first round by 0,05 seconds to Switzerland Aline Danioth who unfortunately suffered a bad crash in her following round. Alice Robinson from New Zealand also fell in the first round of 32 as well as Germany’s Viktoria Rebensburg. The 25-year-old French racer, who has been racing since seven years on the World Cup tour, was able to score points in three different giant slalom races this season including on Saturday when she was 13th here.
