  • POURQUOI ? Tout Ce Que Vous N'avez Jamais Osé Ou Pensé
    POURQUOI ? Tout ce que vous n’avez jamais osé ou pensé demander sur le ski alpin Beaucoup de questions inédites sur le ski alpin que l’on n’ose ou qu’on ne pense pas poser. Pourquoi le ski de piste s’appelle-t-il ski alpin ? La pratique ancestrale du ski est liée avant tout à des raisons fonctionnelles. En effet, dans les contrées enneigées de Scandinavie, le ski de fond permettait aux hommes de se déplacer efficacement. Ce n’est qu’au milieu du XIXe siècle que ce type de pratique laissa place à l’aspect sportif, avec la mise en pace des premières compétitions de « ski nordique » en Norvège (1843). Le « ski alpin », dérivé du ski nordique, connut quant à lui une naissance plus tardive. Les historiens considèrent en effet que c’est en 1911, lors d’une compétition organisée par l’Anglais Sir Arnold Lunn à Montana en Suisse, que le ski alpin est véritablement né. Il n’y a alors qu’un pas à franchir pour associer le terme de ski « alpin » à cette compétition disputée dans le massif des Alpes bernoises ; même si le terme de « ski » reste à cette époque réservé au ski nordique. Il faudra d’ailleurs attendre 1931 pour assister aux premiers championnats du monde de ski alpin et 1936 pour son entrée aux Jeux olympiques d’hiver. Pourquoi l’une des premières épreuves disputées dans l’histoire du ski s’est-elle appelée « slalom » ? L’origine scandinave du ski a naturellement impacté le vocabulaire utilisé dans cette activité. C’est ainsi qu’une des premières épreuves de ski, disputé en 1922 à Mürren, un petit village suisse de l’Oberland bernois, fut dénommée « slalom ».

  • Sportsas a Teachable Moment
    Sports as a Teachable Moment Updated and includes the 2018 Olympic Games. Sports as a Teachable Moment The imaginative mathematics teacher will find many opportune ‘teachable moments’ in studies of local and worldwide sports. Using the Winter Olympics as a springboard for mathematical instruction presents learning with meaningful, real-life concepts. Sports as a Teachable Moment 2 Sports as a Teachable Moment The North American sports culture pervades many aspects of our daily lives. Newspapers print lengthy daily sports reports, and some television stations are devoted exclusively to sports reporting. During an Olympic year, sports events are featured around the clock on most television stations and even very young children are keenly aware that something important is happening in the world about them. The National Hockey League playoffs, the NBA playoffs, World Cup soccer and the World Series dominate discussion and viewing habits in many households. During major sports or playoff events, adults in households across North America demonstrate intense interest and emotional commitment to the sports events unfolding on television screens before them. Young children watching are quick to learn, in both subtle and overt ways, that competitive sports appear to provide adults with enduring interest and entertainment. The imaginative mathematics teacher may find many opportune ‘teachable moments’ in studies of local and worldwide sports events. Using sports as a springboard for mathematics instruction presents learning within meaningful, real- life contexts. Many children are more than spectators of sports events: they are active participants in sports. Some children engage in sports activities independently, while others play sports under parental direction, or even, in some cases, under parental pressure.

  • 2014 Winter Olympic Competing Nations ALBANIA (ALB)
    2014 Winter Olympic Competing Nations We list below detailed historial Olympic information for every IOC Member Nation that has previously competed at the Olympic Winter Games and that will compete in Sochi, as of 27 January 2014. There appear to be 88 qualified NOCs that have met IF quota requirements as of 24 January, and have accepted them (the previous record for a Winter Olympics is 82 in 2010 at Vancouver). Unfortunately, after reallocation of some quotas, only the skiing federation (FIS) has published the final quotas as of 26 January. We have tried to list below the sports for which each NOC has qualified but there is a small chance, with reallocations, that there may be minor differences in the final allocation by sport. There are seven nations that will compete in Sochi that have never before competed at the Olympic Winter Games – Dominica, Malta, Paraguay, Timor-Leste (East Timor), Togo, Tonga, and Zimbabwe. Their factsheets have been published previously on olympstats.com – see http://olympstats.com/2014/01/23/new-winter-olympic-nations-for-sochi/, which came out on 23 January. One problem nation is listed below and that is DPR Korea (North). They have not qualified any athletes for Sochi. They had the 1st and 2nd reserves for pairs figure skating but those do not appear to have been chosen by final reallocation of quota sports by the International Skating Union (ISU). However, yesterday (26 January), DPR Korea has petitioned the IOC for redress to allow them to have Olympic athletes compete in Sochi. So they are included below but it is unknown if they will compete.
