Who invented skiing?
Skiing originated in the extremely cold region of northern Eurasia. At first, people may use belts to tie large animal bones to leather boots as skiing tools. 1896, an Austrian named Zaski invented a method to push a pair of sledges into a snow slope at a certain inclination angle to control the downhill speed. At the beginning of the 20th century, Austrian Schneider developed a brand-new turning and braking technology based on Zasky's invention. Since then, skiing has become more and more popular. Switzerland held its first curve skiing competition in 192 1. 1924 There was a Nordic skiing competition in the first Winter Olympics. 1936 alpine skiing was added to the Winter Olympics. Skiing can be divided into ancient skiing, modern skiing and modern skiing from the perspective of historical evolution; Judging from the conditions and participation purposes of skiing, it can be divided into practical skiing, competitive skiing and tourist skiing (entertainment and fitness). Practical skiing is to sublimate skiing into using the function of competition to achieve the purpose of competition under specific environmental conditions. Leisure fitness (tourism) skiing is a mass skiing sport developed to meet the cultural needs of modern people. The above three skiing sports are basically the same in equipment, venue, equipment and sports technology, but their functions are quite different from other aspects. The following focuses on the characteristics of competitive skiing and tourist skiing. With the development of skiing (especially modern competitive skiing), the number of events is increasing and the fields are expanding. At present, the regular events of world competitions are divided into alpine skiing, Nordic skiing (cross-country skiing, platform skiing), self-selected skiing, biathlon skiing, snowboarding and so on. Each major event is divided into many minor events, and dozens of dazzling national competitions and winter Olympics gold medals inspire people to fight hard and share. Pure competitive skiing has distinct competitiveness and particularity, and the relevant conditions are strict, which exceeds the ability of ordinary people to have and adapt. Tourism skiing aims at entertainment and fitness, and is lightly restricted by human factors. Men, women and children can easily and happily slide on the snowfield and enjoy the endless fun brought by skiing. Alpine skiing is regarded as the essence and symbol of skiing, and it has become the first choice and main project of tourist skiing because of its breathtaking, graceful, free, dynamic, attractive and wide participation. People's skiing skills are usually evaluated by alpine skiing. Recent tourist skiing events include snowboarding, ultrashort snowboarding and cross-country skiing. Among them, cross-country skiing is a long-distance skiing in low hills (flat land, downhill and uphill each account for about 1/3). Although it is far less fun and attractive than alpine skiing, it is more participatory from the perspective of safety and fitness. Ultra-short snowboarding and snowboarding (stepping on a wide snowboard with both feet) are more exciting and flexible than alpine skiing, and have not been widely developed in China. The standardized competitions of alpine skiing include downhill, super giant slalom, giant slalom, giant slalom, all-around and so on. There are many kinds of alpine skiing techniques, including different skiing techniques, changeable transformation techniques, emergency acceleration and deceleration and stop techniques, thrilling jumping techniques and special techniques. Generally, beginners should choose the best skiing entry scheme according to their own sports quality, age, skiing foundation, venue conditions, available time and other factors. Novices should not be hasty, casual and reckless. Because skiing is a skill manipulation in skiing, the center of gravity is not easy to control, and it is easy to form wrong movements. Therefore, under the strict guidance of professional and technical personnel, we should be correct in posture, essentials and movements from the day we enter the school, start with practicing basic movements, firmly grasp the foundation of school acceptance, and lay a foundation for future improvement. We should be highly aware that once the wrong posture and skills of skiing are formed, it is extremely difficult to correct them and will leave deep regret.
