There are several disciplines in skiing, such as:
Downhill
skiing
It
is the fastest discipline. Downhill skiing requires speed, technical
control and courage.
Slalom
skiing
Routes
are the shortest, but they contain a large number of doors.
The
giant slalom requires big precision, the sense of rhythm and the
strength to negotiate every bend.
Super-giant
slalom
In
super-giant slalom
the
competitors have a time limit to explore the slope.
Ski
jumping
The
skiers descend a special take-off ramp, jump and try to go as far as
possible.
The skis which are used for ski jumping are long and
wide.
The
super combined
The
super combined is a discipline which combines downhill and slalom on
the same day.
Cross-country
skiing
Cross-country
skiing is practised on flat ground, it includes Nordic skiing and
biathlon. It is a perfect sport of endurance.
Off-piste
skiing
Off-piste
skiing consists in traveling down slopes which have not been packed
down. They are not crowded. This discipline gets more sensations than
skiing on traditional slopes but it is more dangerous.
Skiing can be considered as leisure or be practised in
competition

Hello, my name is Oskar. I was interested in your topic of downhill skiing. I like skiing fast and I have a good technique by which I do not got injured. Interesting article!
ReplyDeleteHi, I really like skiing, too. But I didn't know that there are so many disciplines in skiing. The discipline which fits me most is "downhill skiing", because I like skiing fast. Julia

Hey! I also really like skiing. My dad taught me when I was six. Unfortunately, I never took part in any ski competitions. In my country (in Poland) there is not always snow , but this year fortunately there was a lot of it. Last year there wasn't a lot of snow, so the conditions were not perfect for skiing :-( M.
ReplyDeleteHi,I love dogs, too. I would like to have a dog, but I can't because we haven't got enought time to care for a dog.
ReplyDeleteI'll tell you some interesting facts about dogs:
• Did you know the dog's normal temperature is about 38℃ ?
• I read somewhere that the oldest dog lived twenty-nine years and five months. He was called Bluey.
• Dogs can't see the colours: red, yellow, green and orange.
I'm sure there are many other interesting things about dogs, but I liked these the most.
Take care! Kajetan 6c
