今天为大家介绍单板滑雪、残奥单板滑雪:

Snowboarding, 单板滑雪

单板滑雪兴起于20世纪60年代的美国,当时美国人开始寻找新的冬季体育活动。十年间,这项运动从小众滑雪项目运动成为主流体育运动。冲浪爱好者和滑板爱好者也逐渐参与其中,到1980年,单板滑雪已成为全国性的体育运动。

20世纪70年代末,单板滑雪爱好者开始到传统的滑雪胜地滑雪,但遭到当地滑雪爱好者的一致反对,他们极力将单板滑雪者赶出传统滑雪场。然而,到了20世纪90年代,由于单板滑雪运动能给传统滑雪场带来不错的收入,几乎所有的滑雪场都接受了单板滑雪运动。

Snowboarding was developed in the United States in the 1960s as people across the country began to seek out new winter activities. Over the next decade, the sport began to gain crossover appeal. Surfers and skateboarders became involved, and by 1980, snowboarding was a nationwide activity.

In the late 1970s, snowboarders started to "invade" traditional ski resorts, but faced opposition from skiers who tried to exclude the snowboarders from "their" mountains. By the 1990s, however, almost all ski resorts had accepted snowboarding, and the resorts have found the snowboarders to be an excellent source of new revenue.

Para Snowboard is practised worldwide and athletes combine speed and agility while racing down courses as fast as possible. Competition includes male and female athletes with a physical impairment such as spinal injury, cerebral palsy and amputation. After many years of campaigning, in 2012 it was announced that snowboard would make its debut at the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games as part of the alpine skiing program.
