    A NEWSLETTER FOR OUR DONORS | ISSUE 5 | DEC. 2014 TORONTO 2015 PAN AM GAMES APPROACH + CANADA WINTER COMPETITION GAMES + HEAD TO PRINCE GEORGE DAILY TRAINING COACHING + + + EQUIPMENT SPORT SCIENCE NUTRITION HELP BUILD AN OLYMPIAN THIS hoLIDAY SEASON 2015 has been declared the “Year of Sport” in Canada. 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. We want to share with you the impact that your gift has on our athletes, coaches, officials and, indeed, all Canadians. Please enjoy this edition of Strive.

  • 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.

  • 5Th September 2010 British Ski Cross Racers Emily Sarsfield and Peter Whelan Shine in Argentina
    Chapelco Argentina, Ski Cross South American Cup - 5th September 2010 British Ski Cross Racers Emily Sarsfield and Peter Whelan Shine in Argentina Race win for Peter Whelan Two South American Cup Ski Cross races took place today in Chapelco, Argentina where British Ski Cross Team members Emily Sarsfield, 27 and Peter Whelan, 21 competed in a field which included members of the Canadian Olympic Ski Cross Team. Yesterday's race was postponed until today due to high winds, making today a tough two-race day. Todays races were the third and forth of the 2011 season and in glorious sunshine and warm temperatures, Sarsfield finished 3rd and 4th in the ladies and Whelan finished 1st and 2nd in the mens. Both athletes carry over their strong finishes from the 2010 season where Sarsfield won the Val Thorens ladies Ski Cross Europa Cup and Whelan finished 5th in the mens. Since the disappointment of missing out on the Olympics due to a serious knee injury in 2009 Sarsfield has continued to improve race on race. "To finish 3rd and 4th today in a field with Canadian Olympians (Kelsey) Serwa [5th in the Vancouver Winter Olympics] and (Danielle) Poleschuk [19th in the Vancouver Winter Olympic] is a great feeling particularly following on from my Europa Cup win in Val Thorens back in March. "After such a difficult 2010 missing out on the Olympics, I can't wait for the start of the 2011 world cup season in December, but in the mean time I have a few things to work on which will improve my race technique." Whelan only broke into the British Ski Cross Team back in January and has continued to grow in stature since.
