There are still 22 days to go before the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics, and the popular science project brought to you today is - snowboarding!
Snowboarding became an official sport at the 18th Winter Olympics in 1998. The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics has a total of men's and women's U-shaped field skills, slope obstacle skills, parallel giant slalom, big jumps and obstacle chases, etc., resulting in a total of 11 gold medals, of which the obstacle chase mixed team competition is a new item added to the Beijing Winter Olympics.
The big jumping competition of the snowboarding project of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics was held on the Shougang Ski Jumping Platform in Beijing, and the rest of the small events were held in the Genting Ski Park in Zhangjiakou.
Parallel giant slalom players use racing veneers, the board body is longer, the structure is harder, so that the skateboard remains stable at high speed; the waist part of the board body is narrower, which is easy to control when turning with a small radius and sliding fast.
The obstacle course is a racing event in which the athletes use different snowboards from other small events, with both the front and rear being upturned and the front and rear sides being able to glide forward and backward.
Athletes with U-shaped track skills use a curved bottom of the snowboard, which has the characteristics of short, wide, light and soft, with good flexibility and easy to control and adjust the sliding posture.
The snowboard used by athletes with slope obstacle skills should be conducive to completing a variety of technical actions in complex terrain, and athletes can choose their own routes in a variety of terrains to do technical actions during the competition.
The snowboard used by the athletes of the big jump platform is similar to the slope obstacle skills, and the athletes slide down from a high place and jump through the starting platform, and then land after completing various technical actions such as flips, turning, and grabbing boards.
