All about Skiing. Skiing - skiing and their brief description

Skiing is represented by almost two dozens of disciplines, most of which are included in the program of the Winter Olympic Games. Skiing classification involves the allocation of 8 groups, among which races, skiing, freestyle and snowboarding are the most extensive. Common characteristics combine types of skiing in each of the following groups.

Race

Skiing began with racing. Therefore, they are considered a classic skis and well train stamina. Present in the Olympic program from the very beginning of the organization of the winter games. Ways to move the skier:

• classical;
• skidding;
• free.

Sprint. By analogy with running ski sprint, this is a short distances race. Running sprint distances are too short for a winter rider. Therefore, they were increased to the minimum 800 m for women and 1000 m for men. The maximum length of the sprint distance for men is 1600 m (in the command version).

The command sprint is one of the most spectacular competitions. In each team 2 people. After the first team breaks the distance, the second replaces it - so they alternate three times, exercising a total of 6 race. The winning teams are fleeing in the semifinals and the final with the mass start.

Percept-racing persecution.They are divided into ordinary percepty (with a break between the steps) and Skiathlon (without a break). At the first stage of ordinary redness, it is started individually with a periodicity of 30 seconds. At the second stage - in a few hours or days - participants go on the track in the sequence and with the difference in the time they came to the finish at the first stage.

In the skiathlon, the start is massive, and there is no break between the steps. The specificity of the asslessness without a break is that athletes need the first part of the way to overcome the classic way, then change the skis and go free style. At the same time, the stopwatch does not stop, which gives the competition an additional gambling component.

Distance to each stage in Percept - from 5 to 15 km. One-day persecution on long distances require good skier's endurance.

Relay.4 teams participate in ski relay, each by 4 people. One person runs one distance (up to 10 km), concerns the second participants of his team, transferring to him the relay - and so on all four athletes. The first and second skier run only the classic style, the third and fourth - free.

In the Winter Olympic Games programs, skiing appeared some time after inclusion in it ski racing. He can rightly be considered No. 2 in ski sports. Not inferior to the place and in the workout of endurance.

Downhill.Speed \u200b\u200bdescent is the most real extreme skiing. The length of the descent is 3 or more kilometers. The athlete is not only traveling along the prepared track, but also with a height drop carves up to a distance of up to 50 m. To ensure the best slip, the descent must have ice cover of snow, so that the average speed is developing up to 110 km / h. There are no cases when an athlete reached the speed of B150 km / h. The registered record is more than 200 km / h.

The speed descent requires significant physical fitness, ideal ownership of technique, skier's endurance. It is believed that after passing the track at the speed athlete raises their qualifications and behaves more confidently on the slalomes and jumps from the springboard.

Slalom.Slalle - "descending footprint" - descent from the mountain with overcoming obstacles represented by the so-called gate - installed flags between which it is necessary to drive. It is required to drive all the gate. For skipping gates, the athlete is removed from the Competition. Characteristics of the slagistic route:

• Gate width - 4-5 m.
• Length of the track - up to 0.5 km.
• The height difference between the start and finish is up to 150 m.

The slalomal competition is held for a while and consists of passing every slalomist of two different trails.

Giant slalom.Great slalom differs from ordinary larger characteristics:

• Gate width - 6-8 m.
• The distance between the gate is 0.75-15 m.
• Length of the track - up to 1.5 km.
• The height difference between the start and finish is up to 450 m.

The steepness of turns in the giant is less than in the usual slalom. The descent technique involves performing turns with a flat slide in the interface of the arc. At a speed of up to 70 km / h, the athlete passes the descent on average for 100 s.

There is also a supergigant version of slalom.

Freestyle

Despite the fact that the freestyle is perceived by many as free from Rules, since 1988, freestyle directions are included in the Olympic Games Program and, therefore, fully apply to ski sports and have their standards.

Acrobatics.The so-called air acrobatics is the basic freestyle discipline. The athlete accelerates on the descent and makes a jump from a springboard of one or another height and slope. The jump is made flip, coups, rotation and other acrobatic elements. Special attention is paid to the technique of landing the freestyleler. Separate estimates are exhibited for the artistry of execution and the correctness of the landing.

Mogul.Mogul is a descent on the slope consisting of low, but often located bugrov. Might skiing non-rigging, with a row cutting in the center. In addition to the passage of the cheeky route, the freestyleler must perform jumps from springboard up to 60 cm. The length of the route for Mogul is within 200-250 m. The state of the track is presented with strict requirements for the maximum and minimal height difference and angle of inclination. Freestyleler should demonstrate the ability to properly make turns with type, jumping and landing, show the best result in time.

Ski-cross.The youngest of the Olympic disciplines using Ski: Ski-Cross was introduced into the Games Program in Vancouver (2010). Unlike mogul and acrobatics Ski cross - competitive skating and, therefore, the most spectacular. A distance of 1.2 km with various obstacles - harsh lifts, descents, tramplines, gates - need to go for a while. Initially, individually, in the semifinals - a mass start group of 4 people. Athletes develop speed up to 60 km / h. Ski-cross connects elements of slalom and high-speed descent, reinforced by additional obstacles.

Jumping from springboard

Not everyone to decide to fly in the air more than 100 m with mountain skiing on the legs. In this case, it is necessary to do it beautifully, landing correctly, without touching the surface and without falling. Jumping from the springboard is a professional competitive discipline for individual execution or as part of a team of 4 people.

When evaluating the jump, in addition to the technique of execution and distance, take into account such parameters as the speed and direction of the wind, the height of the starting gate.

Ski federal

Combined ski discipline (individual, team of 4 people) includes two stages:

• jump from a springboard;

• an individual sprint is 10 km free style or a team relay from 4 stages of 5 km each.

The sequence of the start of the participants on the spinning distance is determined by the result of a jump from a springboard, whose scores are translated into seconds.

Orienteering

Sports orienteering is not included in the Olympic Games Program. Meanwhile, the championships on it are held annually around the world.

Participants are issued locality cards with printed ski tracks and compass. At the same time, the laid tracks have different speeds of passage. Each participant must decide on which routes are optimally used to come to the finish for the smallest time. Sports orientation can assume additional complicating conditions: a detour of markers, following a specific route, etc.

Biathlon

Ski discipline, which even people know, little interested in sports - biathlon. It is a spectacular ski race combined with a rifle shooting (or sports bow). The skier moves free skating. The total distance depends on the type of race: sprint, relay, percept. Biathlon is a command or individual. Depending on the type of target shooting racing, 2 or 4 times from the position lying and standing. Distance to targets - 50 m.

The biathlon route is held for a while. The target's misses add a penalty time or a penalty area of \u200b\u200b150 m.

Snowboarding

In the classification of ski sports, snowboarding could be attributed to freestyle as to the "modernist" direction. However, the absence of skis, which is replaced by the board, increased extreme (2 times traumatic than other ski disciplines) requires a singing of snowboarding into a separate appearance. Especially since the discipline itself is not homogeneous and includes such subspecies as:

• slalom;

• racing cross (sprint);

• half Pipe (acrobatic tricks in a semiconducting snow ramp);

• slope Style (acrobatic tricks on the slope with obstacles);

• big Ayr (spectacular and powerful jump from the springboard);

All of them are full Olympic disciplines, and Big Air will become her in 2018.

Ski race - Winter Olympic sport, in which athletes need to overcome a certain ski distance for the minimum time. Ski races are divided into men's and female.

The International Federation of Skiing (FIS) was founded in 1924 and combines national federations.

The history of the emergence and development of ski racing (skiing)

Historians and dated 6-7 century BC Written evidence suggests that the first skiing appeared near the northern hunters. The first skis were very similar to modern snowshoes.

Thanks to the harsh climate, Norwegians showed the greatest interest in skiing. At the beginning of the 18th century, walking on skis was included in the mandatory program for the preparation of the Norwegian troops. And at the end of the same century, the first competitions in ski racing were held.

At the beginning of the 19th century, the world's first ski community was created. A little later, the first ski club was opened in Finland, after which such clubs appeared in many countries of Europe, America and Asia. By the end of the century, ski race competitions began to be held in almost all countries of the world.

Ski races first appeared at the 1924 Olympic Winter Games in Chamonix. Competitions among women appeared at the Olympic Games of 1952 in Oslo.

Rules of ski racing

The rules of the competition are approved by the International Federation of Ski Sports ("Rules of International Competitions").

The competitions use the following types of starts: separate, general, group and starts for pursuit racing. In separate starts, intervals are usually used in 30 seconds.

The starter gives a warning: "Attention" in 10 seconds before the start. For 5 seconds before the start, the countdown begins: "5 ... 4 ... 3 ... 2 ... 1", followed by a start signal "march". During the race, the athletes do not have the right to use other means of movement, except for skis and ski sticks. Skiers should only go along the highway and pass all the control points.

In the way athletes can change one ski or stick. Behind the shift skis follows the judicial board, before the start, all skis are necessarily marked.

The finish time is registered manually or electrically and is given in full seconds.

Track for ski racing

Trails for ski racing should be located so that they best gave the opportunity to appreciate the technical, tactical and physical training of athletes. The level of complexity must correspond to the level of the competition. The main components of the tracks for ski racing:

• One third of the tracks should be lifts with an angle of 9% to 18% with a difference of heights of more than 10 meters, as well as several short lifts with a steep over 18%.
• One third is a hilly crushed terrain, consisting of short lifts and descents (with a height difference from 1 to 9 meters).
• One third make up a variety of descents that require various descent techniques. Trails are used only in the direction established for the competition.

Better if the route consists of several circles, in order for the audience to have fun, watching the competing athletes. At official competition, the length of the distance varies from 800 m to 50 km.

Equipment for ski racing

• Ski - the main element of the skier's equipment. Skiing are classic, skate and combined. Previously, when choosing a skis was important skier's growth, now the ski length primarily depends on weight. Each manufacturer has tables where it is painted, which ski length corresponds to what weight.
• Boots - special shoes designed to use with skis.
• Fasters are two systems - SNS and NNN and ski boots are only suitable for one of them.
• Ski sticks - inventory that is used by skiers to support equilibrium and accelerate movement when driving on skis.

Skiing styles

Skown style (free) - implies that the skier can independently choose the method with which it will be moved along the distance. This style wins in speed at the classic style.

Classic style is a type of movement, in which the skier takes almost the entire distance along the prepared ski. "Classic" ski moves are separated by the method of repulsion by sticks to alternate and simultaneous.

Main types of ski racing

• Competitions with a separate start - ski competitions, in which athletes start with each other with a certain interval. Typically, the interval between starts is 30 seconds.
• Competitions with a mass start - ski competitions, in which all athletes start at the same time.
• Pursuit or Percept Race (English Pursuit - Persecution) - Competitions from several stages. One of the stages of skiers flee a classic style, and the other is a skate style. The position of skiers at all stages is determined by the results of the previous steps.
• The relay - ski competitions in which teams from four participants compete. The ski relay consists of 4 stages. Relay bats can be held in one style (all participants run their stages by classic or free style) or two styles (1 and 2 stages of the participants run by a classic style, and 3 and 4 stages are free style). The transfer of the relay is carried out by touching the palm of any part of the body starting athlete of its team, while both athletes are in the transmission zone of the relay.
• Sprint (individual and command).

Ski Racing Competitions

This section contains materials on the theory and methods of skiing. Special attention is paid to the organization and methods for skiing in general education and children-youth sports schools.

Skiing is one of the most popular and affordable sports, which is very popular with people of any age. Ski races were especially widespread in our country. Russian skiers successfully perform in various international competitions, including in the championships of the world and the Olympic Games. The high achievements of our skiers became possible thanks to the mass work carried out during the USSR, especially among children, adolescents and boys.

In the Soviet system of physical education, two main forms of ski work - ski preparation and skiing.

Ski preparation was conducted under government programs and was a mandatory section of physical education in secondary schools, medium and higher educational institutions, as well as in the Soviet Army. The tasks of the ski preparation are the training of children, adolescents, young men and adults, the basics of skiing techniques, the acquisition of initial knowledge involved in skiing, and the implementation of established educational and control standards, including the standards of the All-Union GTO Physical Culture Complex.

The main task of skiing is the achievement of high results in your favorite form (ski racing, biathlon, skiing, ski jumps from springboard, two-seat, etc.) on the basis of versatile general and special physical training, improvement of physical and moral and volitional qualities, Technical and tactical training and mastering the theory and methods of sports training.

A large influence on the development of skiing in our country has the amount and quality of training specialists in skiing - coaches, teachers and especially teachers of physical culture, as the basis of skiing is laid in ski training lessons and during extracurricular work skiing at school.

This section can serve as a textbook on skiing for the faculties of physical education of pedagogical institutions and written in accordance with the program on skiing for these faculties and a school curriculum in physical culture.

In the first five chapters of the textbook, the general foundations of theory, technology, training techniques, training, organizing and conducting competitions in skiing are outlined. In the following three chapters, issues related to training, extracurricular and out-of-school work on ski preparation and ski sports with schoolchildren are highlighted. The last head of the textbook is devoted to the material support of training activities and skiing competitions.

The directory contains the names and results of the winners of the largest All-Union and international competitions in skiing since the period of the origin of this sport in our country. There are brief information about the features of various competitions, comparative results tables and other materials.

Designed specialists in skiing, athletes, coaches, as well as a wide range of ski lovers.

Ski racing in our country is one of the most popular and most popular types of winter sports. Neither the age nor the level of physical development can be an obstacle to those who want to join in skiing, which helps to improve the state of health, increase the capacity and physical fitness of a person.

From the huge mass of skiers, new thousands of youth are poured annually in the ranks of athletes. The most talented of them, the fastest, clever and strong defend the sporting honor of our country in the largest ski international forums. Find out their names, to compare them to achieve the desire of everyone who loves this sport, knows him the price and seeks to achieve the best indicators. The directory in which the results of the winners of all major competitions starting from the period of the birth of skiing provides such an opportunity. The author continued to work on the collection and clarification of reference data launched its predecessors.

The first and only special reference book on skiing in our country can be considered the book of a Honored Master of Sports and Honored Coach of the USSR V. A. Serebryakova "" ("Physical Education and Sport", 1951), in which for the first time along with interesting information from the history of skiing Sports are given the results of various ski competitions, including the country's championships in the ski racing, from 1910 to 1951 in this reference book information on the results of individual competitions until 1940 is limited to the first three places; Data concerning ski relay racing and young men competitions (juniors) are incomplete.

All other printed publications with the results of the country's championships in ski racing, published to the reference book of 1951 (edition 1934, 1935, 1940, 1945), and later (edition 1953, 1955, 1956), covered relatively small periods (1-3 years) and even all together taken did not give full systematic information.

In published in 1972 and 1978. Publishing House "Physical Culture and Sport" Directory "All about sports" (three volumes) provide general information in many sports, including ski racing, and various competitions (country championships, Olympic games and world championships) with lists of champions of the largest competitions But without the results shown by them.

Starting from 1969, the Publishing House "Physical Education and Sport" produces twice a year the collections "Skiing", which contain versatile methodical materials, presents the results of competitions in all types of skiing for the current period. However, these reference data is not so complete to meet the needs of specialists and lovers of this sport.

Considering all the above, as well as the fact that from the first championship of the country in 1910 ski racing has been held for 75 years, the author of this reference book set the task to give the most complete and systematic information on the results of the main competitions in the country in the country and on the world sports arena for All past period before 1984, it included the results of competitions in the ski racing of all championships and championships of the country, including the final competitions of the Olympics of the Peoples of the USSR, as well as the Cups of the USSR and only individual, most significant all-union competitions, and from international - the results of the winners of the competition of all winter competitions Olympic Games, Championships and World Cups, European Championships and Junior Worlds.

Championships and championship of the USSR, as well as the competition for the Cup of the USSR on the ski racing of official numbering did not have. In this reference, their sequence account has been introduced consistently by year.

The directory contains 7 sections.

In the sections of the championships (championships) of the country, the Cup of the USSR, individual All-Union and international competitions held in the USSR, are given: in individual ski racing among men and women, the first 10 seats, among juniors-6 seats and among young men and girls - 3 places; In team types of ski racing (relay, running patrols, sanitary teams, etc.), as well as in the team championships: among adults and juniors the first 6 places, among young men and girls -3 places. In the tops in the first three places show the results at stages (figures 1, 2, 3 in brackets against the time shown by the participants on the steps, mean the best results in this competition, respectively).

In the sections of the Winter Olympics, World Championships and European Championships and the World Junior Championships, for each competition, individual ski racing are given the results of the first six and all participants in the Soviet team, in relay - the first 6 team results, and since 1956 (with the participation of the USSR skiers ) And the results at the teams that took the first three places, and the USSR teams. On each zoya since 1956, the number of medals and glasses, conquered by the skiers of different countries in the informal team competition.

In the section of competitions in skiing races at the World Championships (1924-182), the results of the 13th World Championships, which were simultaneously and the results of Zoe are not repeated.

For individual competitions in some sections, the results are not entirely due to the lack of reliable information.

Command results are usually evaluated by glasses, the accrual system of which at different times was unequal.

The directory uses conventions and shortages of words, the list is given at the beginning of the book. In order to save space in team types of competitions (relay, etc.), the total names of the participants are given only in cases where they were not mentioned in the results of individual competitions.

Distance competitions included in the ski racing program are located in an increasing order by kilometer, regardless of the date of their holding.

Due to the fact that in the official protocols of the results of competitions in the ski racing in our country, including the championships of the USSR (inclusive), did not indicate the names of the participants of the competition, the compiler experienced some difficulties, trying to eliminate this gap. Most of the names are restored, but in some cases it failed to do this.

For rendered help on the collection of material for a reference book, the author expresses heartfelt thanks to veterans of skiing ZMS and ZT USSR D. M. Vasilyev, ZMS N. A. Bunkina, state coach of the USSR in ski racing Racing of the USSR, MS V. D. Baranov, ZMS and ZT USSR N. P. Anikina, ZT of the USSR and MS V. A. Ivanov, ZMS and ZT RSFSR, honored judge on sport P. N. Lyudskov, honored judge Sport S. A. Bogachev, V. M. Shikhina, candidate Pedagogical Sciences Assistant MS I. I. Lazarev and other comrades.
