  • Kamil Stoch – Polish King of Ski Jumping
    Kamil Stoch – Polish King of Ski Jumping 6th of January 2018 was a very important day, not only in the Polish sports history. On that day Kamil Stoch became the second ski jumper to win all the competitions during a single 4 Hills Tournament. The first one was German Sven Hannawald in the 2001/02 season. There is no doubt that Kamil Stoch, born on 25th of May 1987 in Zakopane, is a very talented and hard-working athlete, but he is also really modest. Some time ago one of the most popular clips on Polish Youtube was one with a 12- year-old Kamil telling the journalist about his dreams of the gold Olympic medal.[1] Now his huge collection of trophies, among others, includes two individual gold medals from the Winter Olympics, both individual and team gold from the World Championships and the World Cup overall title. After his great success at the 4 Hills Tournament 2018, he said: There was lot of pressure during this tournament but the most important thing is to stay focused on your job and to do what you can, you can’t do more than that. I just wanted to do my best jumps and that’s all. Even Sven Hannawald, who congratulated him after the fourth win, seemed to be more excited: This is a moment you can’t describe. I think that Kamil doesn’t really know what happens now. The way he did it is incredible. A sensational performance![2] On 20th of January 2018 Kamil Stoch did one more incredible thing – won a silver medal at the Ski Flying World Championships.

    KONKURS ORGANIZOWANY PRZEZ WOJWEÓDZKI SZKOLNY ZWIĄZEK SPORTOWY W GDANSKU MOJA ULUBIONA DYSCYPLINA SPORTU SKOKI NARCIARSKIE I WYBRANY IDOL SPORTOWY KAMIL STOCH I. SKOKI NARCIARSKIE Istnieje mnóstwo różnych dyscyplin sportowych, spośród których każdy może wybrać tę, która najbardziej mu odpowiada. Można je uprawiać w wodzie, na boisku, na śniegu, na korcie - praktycznie wszędzie. Moją ulubioną dyscypliną sportową są skoki narciarskie. A idolem sportowym jest Kamil Stoch. Ta dyscyplina sportu, po sukcesach Adama Małysza, który zdobył Mistrzostwo Świata i Puchar Świata oraz medale na igrzyskach olimpijskich, ma wielu fanów wśród mężczyzna i kobiet. Skoki narciarskie przyciągają przed telewizory miliony widzów w wielu krajach, nie tylko w Polsce, którzy z zapartym tchem oglądają poczynania swoich faworytów. Od sezonu 2011/2012 w ramach Pucharu Świata rywalizuj ą równie ż kobiety, dla których dot ąd najbardziej presti żowymi rozgrywkami był Puchar Kontynentalny. Skoki narciarskie jest to dyscyplina sportowa rozgrywana na skoczniach narciarskich od polowy XIX wieku. Wi ększo ść dyscyplin zaliczanych do narciarstwa klasycznego narodziło si ę w Norwegii. Sondre Norheim z Telemarku był pierwszym skoczkiem, a pierwsza skocznia narciarska powstała w Holmenkollen. Skoki narciarskie błyskawicznie zyskiwały popularno ść w całej Skandynawii. W Polsce skoki narciarskie pojawiły si ę dopiero w 1908 roku. W naszym kraju pierwsza du ża skocznia wybudowana została w Dolinie Jaworzynki. Obiekt został oddany do u żytku 8 marca 1921 roku. Na tej skoczni trenował Stanisław Marusarz, pierwszy znany polski skoczek Skocznia Narciarska – Wielka Krokiew w Zakopanem robi wrażenie na każdym kto ją zobaczy. Piękny, ogromny obiekt sportowy wkomponowany w górę. Skocznie narciarskie to infrastruktura sportowa przeznaczona do uprawiania sportów zimowych, jakimi są skoki narciarskie.

    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.
