DESCRIPTION
THE SPORT REPORT WAS ABOUT RESEARCHING ONE SPORT. I CHOSE skiing. i chose skiing because i didn't know what skiing was. so i researched it so i know what it is. i wrote about how the point system works and how you do the race. it is just going down the hill of snow and doing tricks while coming down to earn points.
THE ACTUAL THING
HISTORY: The oldest and most accurate evidence of skiing was found in modern day Norway and Sweden. In 5,000 B.C., the earliest primitive depicted a skier with only one pole, located in Rodoy in the Nordland region of Norway. The word “ski” is one of a handful of words Norway has exported to the international community.
SIMPLIFIED RULES: 1. The Race Committee shall consist of five people and is the group to decide on matters of meet organization. The race committee is responsible for: appointing qualified adult gatekeepers, a starter and chief of timing. The Meet Coordinator shall serve as chairman of the Race Committee. 2. The scorers need to record all of the results. 3. The Starter will be responsible for the warning and start signals. He/she will be responsible for determining false starts until the final start signal is given.
OBJECT OF THE GAME: The object of the game is to race downhill on skis and whoever gets own first wins the game, so technically, it’s a race.
FIELD OF PLAY: The field of play for snow skiing is just a huge hill of snow that you ski down on. People use a gondola to go all the way up to the top of the mountain and some people come down on a gondola because they didn’t go down skiing.
GOAL: The goal is to go downhill on skis to the finish line and get there first. Then that person will be the winner of the game.
BALL: There is no ball that you need to ski, but the things you do need is some alpine skis, ski boots, snowboards, goggles, helmet, ski-wear, and ski and boot bags.
TEAMS: There are no teams, but it is all one on one. For example, five people can go against each other to win the race.
PLAYERS DO’S AND DON’T’S: Players need to read signs carefully and warnings. If not, it can be very dangerous, for example, if a person didn’t read a warning sign carefully and missed the warning part, they can be seriously injured. They also need to have proper equipment to ski. They can’t go down without the proper equipment because they can get seriously injured.
PENALTIES: Penalties happen when a player goes into another player to knock them off.
PENALTY SHOT: There is nothing like a penalty shot in skiing because you don’t shoot or kick a ball in skiing.
PROGRESSIVE PUNISHMENT: There are no punishments that are progressive, but there is’nt much of progressive punishment.
PICTURE: Depending on which hill, the trails are different, but this is a diagram of the Olympic Bob-Run.
