This declaration by the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada, celebrates the important role of sport in our Canadian identity. It is an apt title, as in 2015 Canada hosts both the Canada Winter Games and the Pan Am Games. While both events will see amazing competition from incredible Canadian athletes, the two events are very different. The Canada Winter Games are hosted on the west coast in beautiful Prince George, British Columbia, and will see fierce competition among Canada’s finest young winter sport athletes, who are the next generation of Olympians. By contrast, the Pan Am Games will Winston Chow/COC be hosted in multiple locations in and around Toronto, Ontario, featuring Canada’s world-class athletes competing in summer sports. FROM OUR Your donations are vital to both of these initiatives, as the Canadian Olympic Foundation grants funds to both the Canadian EXECUTIVE Team at the Pan Am Games, and the Canada Games. In this edition of Strive, we feature articles about the impact of the DIRECTOR Canada Games on Canadian athletes, and offer a sneak peek into the preparations for the Pan Am Games.

  • Freestyle Skiing
    COMPILED BY : - GAUTAM SINGH STUDY MATERIAL – SPORTS 0 7830294949 Freestyle Skiing - Overview Freestyle Skiing is a game that needs perfect balance of body and mind while taking a jump from the inrun to the maximum possible height to win. This also includes performing various types of flips and twists or other stunts depending on the category. Though the game seems difficult by the looks of it, one can become an expert with perfect coaching and guidance. This tutorial will guide you in understanding the basic mechanics. The rider (player) has to sail on an ice surface with the help of jumping skis on a ramp like structure. The aim is to perform aerial flip flops and spins. To add to the difficulty level, sliding rails and boxes are also used. The match is played in both men and women category. History Inception of this adventurous journey started in Norway in year 1808, when Ole Rye jumped over a height of 9.5 metres. The world’s 1st ski jumping competition was held at Ofte, Norway in the year 1866. Sondre Norheim won that championship and he was believed to be the father of modern ski jumping. After World War 1, a new technique was developed popularly known as Kongsberger Technique that helped Sepp Bradl of Austria in achieving a 101 metre jump in 1936. THANKS FOR READING – VISIT OUR WEBSITE www.educatererindia.com COMPILED BY : - GAUTAM SINGH STUDY MATERIAL – SPORTS 0 7830294949 The concept of aerial skiing was introduced for the 1st time in the 1950 Olympics by Stein Eriksen.
