Extractions: Bjorn Dahlie on his way to make Winter Olympic history Bjorn Daehlie became the first man ever to win six gold medals at the Winter Olympics when he won the 10-kilometer cross-country race. The Norwegian's triumph adds to the three golds he won at Albertville in 1992 and the two he collected at Lillehammer four years ago. Skiing in steady rain at the Snow Harp course, Daehlie crossed the finish line in 27 minutes 24.5 seconds while Austria's Markus Gandler, eight seconds slower, won the silver. Finland's Mika Myllylae, winner of the 30K race on Monday, collected the bronze in 27:40.1. Daehlie had a disaster in the 30k race on Monday, finishing in 20th after putting the wrong wax on his skis. However he got it right this time and led from the start. By the first checkpoint at 1.8 kilometers he was 6.3 seconds faster than the closest challenger in the 97-strong field and he never let that lead slip. In a fine show of sportsmanship, Daehlie postponed his celebrations until Philip Boit, the only Kenyan at the games, finished the course.

From the early trappers and miners of the late 1800's, to the competitive high tech racers of today, Colorado has constantly made its mark on the skiing world. The state has contributed competitors, world class racers and team coaches. It has been home to some of the best skiing and snowboarding in the world.

High speed detachable quad lifts, warm plastic boots and turny shaped skis are the products of years and years of research and development. The early lifts were primitive, but they got skiers to the tops of the mountains. Leather boots and wooden skis were tough to use, but they slid on snow. At the Museum, you can see the old equipment, as well as the hardships the early recreational skiers had to endure. Take a break from a vigorous day of skiing in Vail or Beaver Creek, and travel back to times when skiers braved exciting mountains with primitive, basic equipment. Learn about the 10th Mountain Division, many of whom pioneered skiing in Colorado...You can even see how early mountain trail grooming was done.

Spotlight Sport - Alpine Skiing
Alpine skiing is among the most exciting olympics events and was introduced reports olympic schedules and features an excellent olympic history Museum.
http://www.edgate.com/wintergames/design/spotlight_sport/alpski.htm

Extractions: People began strapping skis to their feet as far back as 5,000 years ago. Englishman Sir Arnold Lunn and Austrian Hannes Schneider invented modern alpine racing. Lunn, a son of a London travel agent, spent his years traveling through the Alps and envisioning racing through the majestic range. Lunn organized the first slalom in 1922 in Muerren, Switzerland, and joined forces with Schneider two years later to organize the race that would become the first Olympic alpine event. Alpine skiing is among the most exciting Olympics events and was introduced to the Olympic program at the 1936 Garmisch-Partenkirchen Games with a men's and women's combined event, featuring a downhill and two slalom runs. After the cancellation of the following two Games because of war, alpine skiing returned to St. Moritz with a program of six events. The Oslo Games in 1952 welcomed giant slalom to the program and marked the departure of the combined event. The combined event did not return until 1988.

Extractions: All rates are for the 2005 - 2006 winter season. Utah Olympic Park was a competition venue for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games for Nordic jumping and the sliding sports of bobsleigh, luge and skeleton. The nearly 400-acre Park features a mixture of sporting facilities and visitor areas for an incredible Olympic experience. The state-of-the-art park hosted more than 300,000 visitors and 14 Olympic medal events in February 2002. The Utah Olympic Park now serves as a year-round competition and training ground for recreational and high-performance athletes. Construction on the facility started in 1990 with the development of the infrastructure, the 750,000 gallon freestyle training pool and the ski jumps as part of phase I. The sliding track was included in the second phase and started in the spring of 1994. The first athlete to go down the track was on a luge on January 10, 1997. Today, the public can watch athletes in training, visit the Alf Engen Ski History Museum and the George Eccles Salt Lake 2002 Olympic Winter Games Museum, race down the track in a bobsled, or learn how to steer your own skeleton or luge sled by taking an Intro camp. The Park is owned by a non-profit organization, the Utah Athletic Foundation which is responsible for keeping the Park and the Utah Olympic Oval operating for use by future athletes, world champions and the general public.

Extractions: Reference Desk Atlas Almanacs Dictionary Encyclopedia ... Skiing, Snowboarding, and Skating Did you know that skiing was originally a form of transportation in the mountains of Europe, well before it became a sport? After World War II, alpine skiing in the Olympics really took off as men and women competed in the downhill, the slalom, and the alpine combined. The giant slalom was added four years later. No American man had won an Olympic Gold medal in alpine skiing until 1984, when two accomplished the feat. Bill Johnson won gold in the downhill, while Phil Mahre was the champion in the slalom. Phil's brother Steve won the silver medal in the slalom in that same year. 1998 Olympics in Nagano (who can forget his spectacular crash?), but he also was the 1998 World Cup champion.

There were two races, one 15 kilometers and one 50 kilometers. Thorleif Haug of Norway won gold in both of them.

http://www.speedski.com/historyofskiing.htm

Extractions: History of Alpine Skiing Before skis were used for fun and leisure, the ski was used for work and transportation. The oldest known version is a wide, short ski found in Sweden that has been shown to be over 4500 years old , and cave and rock drawings suggest that skis were used even long before then. These first skis may have been used by a hunter or a traveler, as they were commonly used during the long winters in Northern Russia and the Scandinavian countries. Early skis were not made for speed, but to designed to keep a traveler on top of the snow as they went about their business. The people from the Telemark area of Norway have been largely credited with developing skiing into a sport, somewhere in the early 1700's. They invented the Telemark and the Christiana (now known as the Christie) turns as methods of artfully controlling speeds on downhill descents. They were also quite fond of jumping. Thus, disciplines in both alpine and Nordic skiing owe their existence to these early pioneers. The distinction that now we make between the different disciplines of skiing was not made centuries ago. All of the early skis had a boot mounted to the ski only at the toe, with the heel free to move up and down, what we now call a Nordic ski.

All pictures, logos, trademarks and symbols are properties of the Olympic Movement and are used here for identification purposes only. This site is for personal use only. ORIGIN :: By about 650 B.C., the Ancient Games were held over five days, involving running, wrestling, the pentathlon, horse riding and chariot racing. Participants came to compete from every corner of the Greek world aiming at the ultimate prize - an olive wreath and a "heroic" return to their city-states. Athletes competed in the nude and upon victory were awarded a crown of wild olive leaves. Women and slaves were strictly forbidden to attend the Games under the punishment of death. BANNED :: The Ancient Games were held for almost 1200 years until 393 A.D. when Roman Emperor Theodosius I banned all pagan festivals (the Olympics celebrated the Greek god Zeus). He asserted that the Games placed an excessive public focus on athletic and spiritual affairs and abolished them.

Extractions: Alf Engen Ski Museum Thirteen years ago, Alan Engen had an idea for a ski museum. Today, visitors to the Utah Olympic Park can take a year-round, interactive journey through the Alf Engen Ski Museum inside the Joe Quinney Winter Sports Center. A tour through the 4,000-square foot museum includes a 10-minute film that traces Utah's ski history and then evolutionary displays on cross-country skiing and Nordic jumping. There are games of skill in ski jumping and touch-screen displays. A popular activity is the virtual reality ski theater where visitors hold onto ski poles and choose to take a run down the Olympic downhill course at Snowbasin, Olympic slalom run at Deer Valley or a deep powder run at Alta. A video plays on a wide screen, surround sound introduces the feeling of speed, and the floor vibrates to simulate skiing. Next is a KSL Television video which explains how the Great Salt Lake affects the quality of snow. A topographic map of the Wasatch Mountains identifies the 14 Utah ski resorts. Another interactive game is based on running the slalom gates. More touch-screen displays explain the development of alpine skiing and ski equipment, history of snowboarding and the pioneers of freestyle skiing. A final exhibit covers snow safety with a video of an avalanche. The Alf Engen Ski Museum was built to preserve the rich history of skiing in the Intermountain region by providing a world-class facility, which highlights the many contributions made in ski area development, athletic competition, snow safety, ski innovation and ski teaching techniques.
