今天为大家介绍轮椅冰壶、北欧两项：

Wheelchair Curling, 轮椅冰壶

轮椅冰壶是为下肢有残疾或者走路不便的运动员设计的比赛。轮椅冰壶运动员必须坐在轮椅上进行比赛，比赛采用和健全人同样的规则，差别仅在于轮椅冰壶比赛没有刷冰，且投壶者必需在固定的轮椅上掷壶。除了可以用手掷壶外，还可以用投掷杆掷壶。

Wheelchair curling is an adaptation of curling for athletes with a disability affecting their lower limbs or gait. It is played with the same rocks and on the same ice as regular curling, though the rocks are thrown from a stationary wheelchair and there is no sweeping. Rocks may be thrown by hand while leaning over the side of the wheelchair, or pushed by a delivery stick.

Nordic Combined, 北欧两项

北欧两项是一个包含了越野滑雪和跳台滑雪的冬季体育项目，在20世纪50年代之前，运动员先进行的是越野滑雪的比赛，之后再参加跳台滑雪，后来对比赛的顺序进行了调整，因为运动员在越野滑雪所获得的得分优势，很难在跳台滑雪当中被赶超。

Nordic combined is a winter sport in which athletes compete incross-country skiing and ski jumping. Until the 1950s, the cross-country race was held first, followed by the ski jumping. This was reversed as the score advantage in the cross-country race tended to be too big to overcome in ski jumping.

1、ski

ski resort 滑雪胜地

water ski 滑水橇

ski jumping 跳台滑雪（滑雪运动项目之一）
