Here's everything you need to know about ski jumping

Beijing Winter Olympics Test Event

2021-2022 FIS Snowboard Season

and Freestyle Skiing Slalom Cross World Cup Chongli Station

Successfully completed the race at the Yunding Snow Park in Chongli

Marking the Zhangjiakou competition zone of the Beijing Winter Olympics

The first international test match ended successfully

This is also the Beijing Winter Olympics

Ski cross course

First time to be tested in an international competition

As a competition with high requirements on the venue

As a competition that is not so freestyle

Not only netizens

Even our editorial department

I was also confused by the ways in it.

So

Thanks

It's time to answer your doubts.

【Question 1】

There hasn't been much snow this winter.

Where does the stadium get so much snow?

Build such a long snow trail

[Answer 1]

According to the feedback from athletes

Even though it’s only the beginning of the snow season

This cup race is only the first race of this season.

The track at Genting Snow Park is already great

This is thanks to efficient snowmaking and field grooming

It is not difficult to imagine

Further increase in snowmaking

During the Winter Olympics, low temperatures are more stable

The snow quality of the track will be better

I'm not exaggerating.

Where is the world's strongest in snowmaking?

Chongli, Hebei, China

【Question 2】

My impression of freestyle skiing

It's like Gu Ailing flying on the diving platform and spinning in circles

Shouldn't alpine skiing be the competition for speed?

【Answer 2】

You are really right.

Snowboard and Freestyle Ski Slalom

It's all about speed

But if we talk about speed, it’s all about alpine skiing

Then you are one-sided.

Don't you see

The alpine ski track has a drop of up to 800 meters

And obstacle pursuit only needs one or two hundred meters.

The latter can only respectfully address the former

"Big Brother"

and

Have you ever seen an alpine ski track?

Waves, diving platforms, and other complex terrain?

If there is

Athletes running at speeds of more than 100 kilometers per hour

It flew straight away

【Question 3】

How about obstacle course pursuit?

How fast can the athletes skate?

【Answer 3】

Top players

The average speed can reach over 60 kilometers per hour

70 kilometers is not impossible

Approximately equivalent to

When there is no traffic jam on Beijing Second Ring Road

Average driving speed

【Question 4】

Why during the preliminaries?

The players set out one by one.

In the finals, four people will start together.

Wouldn't it be crowded?

【Answer 4】

first

The interesting part of this game is the word "squeeze"

Think of other snow sports

There are few such confrontational

Cutting in, overtaking or even rear-ending

Is it similar to F1?

Why do we have to start individually in the preliminaries?

This is because according to the rules of the International Ski Federation

The purpose of the preliminary round is to eliminate some

“Unqualified Contestant”

Although this statement is a bit cold

But if everyone's speed and level are too different

It is definitely dangerous to squeeze on one road

【Question 5】

I noticed that the contestants in the finals were all wearing

Colorful Haokaner

And sometimes the color you wore on your last trip

It's different from the next trip.

【Answer 5】

What a careful observation!

Different colors represent the ranking of seeds in the same group.

In a four-man race

From front to back they are

Red, green, blue, yellow

Since only two players can advance in each round

So the athletes wearing blue and yellow have to cheer up!

Top seeded players

Have the right to choose the departure route first

For example, he likes to go through the rightmost starting gate.

Then you can arrange it for yourself.

【Question 6】

How did the Chinese players perform?

Have they qualified for the Winter Olympics?

【Answer 6】

The Chinese team officially started this sport very late

Although we didn’t make it to the finals in this competition

But I can compete with some of the world's top players

It's already not easy

To qualify for the Winter Olympics

Even the host athletes

It also needs to meet the International Ski Federation's ranking requirements

And the hard terms of minimum points requirement

These two rigid requirements

In any World Cup race

or top 30 in the World Championships

It's really difficult

However, there are still several World Cups before the Winter Olympics.

Chinese athletes still need to continue working hard!

Let’s cheer for them!
