This article talks about the event SlopeStyle
skiing and snowboarding being approved for the 2014 Olympics. This event consists of skiers and boarders
who enjoy spending time in the terrain park. With jumps, rails and even boxes
the athlete must perform the most difficult tricks while attaining the most
amount of height off the jumps. The article contains many thoughts and concerns
that people within the International Olympic committee have, and all the
obstacles that they had to overcome to approve this event for the 2014 Olympics
in Russia. This article has excited me because this will attract a new age of
people that will view the Olympics, as this is a big interest for the younger
generations at the slopes. This article has expanded my look on this sport,
after reading this article it has inspired me to go on the internet and learn
more and watch and see what these athletes do to train and prepare for an event
such as this. It has taught me all the hard work these people put into the
sport they love. The way they progress from such a young age is incredible.
Also it has also taught me that there is a lot of hard work and planning that
goes into adding an event to the Olympics. This article has inspired me to want
to do more rails and jumps when I am at the hill. Seeing all the hard work
these people put into adding this event makes me want to try and improve on my
skills within the terrain park. This sport will change my behavior because I
will now have another interesting sport to watch during the winter Olympics and
I am looking forward to what these athletes will prepare for the winter games. The
addition of the sport SlopeSyle skiing and boarding makes me even more excited
for the upcoming Winter Olympics. I suggest that if you have any interest in
watching snow sports or are interested in boarding or skiing that you watch
this video below and maybe check out the article.
Thanks Katrina! I didn't know of all the hard work these athletes had to put into their sport
