The Beijing Winter Olympics has 7 major events, 15 sub-events and 109 sub-events, of which skiing includes cross-country skiing, ski jumping, Nordic biathlon, alpine skiing, freestyle skiing and snowboarding.
Nordic Combined is one of the oldest and most difficult snow events and is only available for men. In 1924, the first Chamonix Winter Olympics in France was included in the official competition, which continues to this day.
Zhao Jiawen, a post-00s youngster, will be the first Chinese player to appear on the Nordic stage of the Winter Olympics. The Nordic biathlon ski competition was held from February 6 to 17 at the National Ski Jumping Center "Snow Ruyi" and the National Cross-Country SkiIng Center in Zhangjiakou. There are three sub-events: individual-ski jumping standard platform/cross-country skiing 10 km, individual-ski jumping big jump/cross-country skiing 10 km, group-ski jumping big jump/cross-country skiing 4×5 km relay, resulting in a total of 3 gold medals.
Nordic biathlon evolved from ancient ski hunting and is a fast and far competition. Consisting of two traditional events in the Nordic region – ski jumping with speed, strength and courage and a test of endurance and technical cross-country skiing – is a test of the athlete's comprehensive ability.
The first thing the athletes do is the ski jumping competition, the score score of the jumping event will determine the order and time of departure in the subsequent cross-country skiing competition, and for every 1 point behind the first place in the ski jumping, the subsequent cross-country skiing competition will be postponed to the corresponding departure time. This is a 4-second delay in individual competitions and 1.33 seconds in team competitions. This was followed by a cross-country skiing competition, with the first to cross the line winning.
The 10 km cross-country skiing event is 4 laps in a 2.5 km interval, so this rule makes it possible for runners to be "snared", and the competition is very fierce.
So what are the main points of the two projects?
Ski jumping - humanity's attempt to get rid of the shackles of gravity
Since its birth, human beings have had an almost fanatical quest to get rid of gravity and get out of the surface. How to fly farther and more beautifully in a short period of 4 or 5 seconds is enough to explain the human desire to fly, which is also the charm of ski jumping.
Ski jumping is a kind of snow competition that competes in jumping distance and action posture. Athletes use skis as a tool, do not hold snowballs, and take off on a special jumping platform with their own weight and the speed obtained by helping the slide.
In 1808, the Norwegians made the history of ski jumping. At that time, Danish-Norwegian Lieutenant Olaf Rye jumped on a ski and flew 9.5 meters in the air to show courage to his comrades.
Norwegian athlete Sondre Norheim, known as the father of modern skiing in 1868, set the second official record ever with a time of 19.5 meters (64 feet).
After nearly a hundred years of development, with the help of mathematicians and engineers, gliding technology has changed from the initial flying in the air to forward-leaning straight-body flight. New world records have emerged, and athletes have flown incredible distances. From the initial 19 meters. By 1936, the 100-meter mark had been broken. On March 18, 2017, Austrian athlete Stefan Kraft set the latest world record of 253.5 meters. People flew farther and farther in the air.
