  • Dislocated Hip Nothing New for Rahlves,Scotty
    Dislocated hip nothing new for Rahlves By ESPN ASPEN, Colo. — U.S. Olympic freestyle skier Daron Rahlves dislocated his right hip after a nasty wreck in his opening skicross race Sunday at the Winter X Games, an injury that could hurt his chances of going to Vancouver. But a doctor who checked him out at the scene was optimistic about Rahlves’ prognosis after the crash that resulted in the 36-year-old’s fourth hip dislocation. Daron Rahlves Rahlves, slated for his fourth Olympics, was putting pressure on the hip only hours after the accident. U.S. Ski and Snowboard officials said he was treated for a hip injury at the hospital and released late Sunday afternoon. The doctor who treated him after the wreck said the fact this is Rahlves’ fourth dislocation should make the injury more manageable.

  • Seconda Parte/ / Le Olimpiadi, Quelle Che Sei La Finlandia E Solo a Lillehammer E Sapporo T'è Capitato Di Non Vincere L'oro
    Il nero muove verso il bianco... Lo abbraccia. Ha appena perduto, il nero, l'oro dei Giochi sui 1.500 metri di pattinaggio velocità. Aveva già vinto i mille metri, Shani Davis. Ma l'afroamericano, il primo a vincere un oro invernale, ha appena subito scacco matto dal bianco, l'italiano Enrico Fabris. Non si scompone Shani, sedici centesimi di troppo per l'oro, nove meglio del suo connazionale e poco amico Chad Hedrick. La conferenza stampa del dopo-gara li siederà affiancati, Chad e Shani, ancora bianco contro nero. Parole crude, pesanti... Non si guarderanno mai, uno contro l'altro! Fra battute ironiche a sfiorar l'insulto e alzar di spalle. Ma il giorno dopo, sul podio, sarà il bianco a muovere verso il nero, Chad verso Shani, con in mezzo Fabris. Hedrick stringe la mano di Davis: il disgelo. Tutto su quel podio che torinesi e italiani ricorderanno a lungo. Nella piazza più bella che la capitale del Piemonte abbia mai avuto. Piena della voglia di vivere, esserci e stare insieme. Colonna sonora di sedici giorni. Indimenticabilmente sedici come i centesimi di vantaggio dell'italiano sull'afroamericano... giochi di ghiaccio; il ghiaccio ha lasciato il segno... Come Ahn Hyun-Soo, coreano del sud che ha inciso ghirigori fantastici di linee sempre più strette sul ghiaccio dello short track, il suo sport.

Abstrakt Název: Vývoj olympijských výkonů snowboardingu v U-rampě Cíle: Cílem diplomové práce je analýza výkonů snowboardistů v U-rampě a parametrů tratí v letech 1998 až 2018 na zimních olympijských hrách. Metody: Hlavní metodou bylo pozorování a porovnávání závodníků v U-rampě. V každém ročníku ZOH byli vybráni 3 nejlepší sportovci a sportovkyně v dané kategorii. V diplomové práci byla použita metoda porovnávání, pozorování a obsahová analýza. Výsledky: Výsledky přinášejí přehled jednotlivých jízd v U-rampě na ZOH od roku 1998 do roku 2018 v závislosti na zvolených kritériích pozorování. Dále porovnávají vzájemně jednotlivé jízdy a poukazují na vývoj výkonů. Závěr: Vývoj vybraných parametrů byl znatelný, avšak ne zcela kontinuální.
