    I N T E R N A T I O N A L S K A T I N G U N I O N HEADQUARTERS ADDRESS: AVENUE JUSTE-OLIVIER17 CH 1006 LAUSANNE SWITZERLAND TELEPHONE (+41) 21 612 66 66 TELEFAX (+41) 21 612 66 77 E-MAIL: [email protected] January 6, 2016 For immediate release ISU European Speed Skating Championships– Minsk (BLR) Preview For the first time the ISU European Speed Skating Championships will be held in the Republic of Belarus. This year’s tournament will be held in Minsk, Belarus’ capital and largest city, on 9-10 January, 2016. It could be the last time that the European Championships consist of the big combination (Men) and the small combination (Ladies). In, 2017 the event will see the removal of the 10,000 m (Men) and the 5000m (Ladies) which will be replaced by the 1000m. Seven-time-champion Sven Kramer (NED) is favorite to win the Men’s tournament, whilst Ireen Wüst (NED) and Martina Sábliková (CZE) are expected to fight a tough battle for the Ladies’ gold. Competition format Unlike the World Cup, in which skaters race for single distance titles, at the European Championships performances in four distances add up to the final ranking. Times are calculated based on the 500m, for example the 1500m time will be divided by 3. In Minsk there will be a traditional two-day-competition, starting on Saturday with the Men’s and Ladies’ 500m followed by the 5000m for Men and the 3000m for Ladies. On Sunday racing resumes with the 1500m, and the 8 best ranked skaters after 3 distances qualify for the final distance: the 5000m for Ladies and the 10,000m for Men.

  • Hettich Einfach Herrlich Ist Eine Scheibe
    TURIN 06 MONTAG, 13. FEBRUAR 2006 www.suedkurier.de/sport SÜDKURIER NR. 36 / 62. JAHR BUONGIORNO AUS TURIN Ein Bisslein Bond VON LARS MÜLLER er Beißer, jeden Tag aufs Neue: Wenn die Sieger der D Olympischen Winterspiele geehrt werden, dann ist das ein Bisslein wie beim Bond. Richard Kiel war es, der sich als böser Beißer in den 007-Streifen „Der Spion, der mich liebte“ und „Moonraker“ einen schlechten Namen gemacht hatte. An jedem olympischen Tag gehen nun wieder Bewerbungen für seine Nachfolge ein. Georg Hettich war der Erste (weshalb er übrigens nicht 001 ist): Nach seinem Sieg im Gundersen-Einzel der Nordischen Kombination biss er in Pragelato bei der Sie- gerehrung auf Wunsch der Fotografen auf seine Goldmedaille. Selten ist es ein Kauen oder ein Lecken, immer ist es ein Zur- Schau-stellen der Beißerchen, ein richtiges Beißen. Warum machen die das? Jedes Kind weiß, dass Medaillen, seien sie aus Gold, Silber oder Bronze, nicht von Pappe, son- dern bissfest sind. Sportler sollten eher ordentliche Dental- pflege betreiben – damit sie auch morgen noch kraftvoll zu- beißen und Olympiasieger werden können. Vermutlich haben die Athleten aber folgenden Spruch im Ohr: OIympiastund hat Gold im Mund. Aber Gold im Mund ist doch – zumindest bei dieser Menge – ungesund. Zudem: Warum sprechen Sportler immer von mentalen Problemen? Haben viele von ihnen nicht eher ein dentales Problem, weil ihnen der Biss fehlt? Jetzt fehlt nur noch die Abschlussfrage: Sehen wir oder sehen die Sport- ler die Sache zu verbissen? Das Tolle an den Olympischen Spielen in Turin ist, dass die Medaillen erstmals ein Loch haben – und nicht die Zähne.

  • Lo Sci Alpino
    LO SCI ALPINO Silvia Martinalli 1) Storia STORIA DELLO SCI Lo sci alpino in senso moderno iniziò a svilupparsi soltanto a partire dalla metà del XIX e nel 1896 un Austriaco introdusse un nuovo metodo per curvare che si avvicinava molto a quello dello sci moderno. Nel secondo dopoguerra lo sci alpino non è più solo un passatempo per gente di montagna o ricchi turisti ma diventa sport di massa grazie anche al nascere di stazioni sciistiche attrezzate con numerosi impianti di risalita. Lo sci alpino moderno si articola in 4 diverse discipline: discesa libera, super gigante, slalom gigante e slalom speciale. GARE ED EVOLUZIONE DELLA DISCIPLINA Le gare di sci erano assai diffuse già nel XIX secolo nei paesi scandinavi, ma si trattava principalmente di gare di sci nordico. A fine Ottocento sulle Alpi iniziarono a disputarsi le prime gare alpine, come la discesa del 1893 in Austria o la discesa organizzata in Germania dal Club della Foresta Nera, con un dislivello di 160 metri. Alla fine del XIX secolo e l'inizio del XX nacquero numerosi club e associazioni per la promozione dello sci soprattutto nei paesi alpini, in quelli scandinavi e nel Nord America; furono soprattutto gli inglesi a contribuire allo sviluppo delle gare di discesa, tipicamente alpine, snobbate per altro dagli scandinavi, appassionati di sci di fondo. 2) Gli sci Sci da discesa Per lo sci alpino, fino alla metà degli anni 90, gli sci erano lunghi e quasi dritti lateralmente (in realtà già avevano una leggera sciancratura). Oggi si usano sci sciancrati cioè dalla forma parabolica: stretti al centro e più larghi in punta e coda, sono i cosiddetti sci carving.
