Ski
It is one of the most popular winter sports and its long history takes us back thousands of years to Scandinavia!
History
The ancient people of the Scandinavian peninsula used a pair of long wooden planks, the skíð (Norwegian for cracked wood), to move around and to stay stable they tied them with ropes on their shoes!
A few thousand years later, skis took the form they have today, while bindings and boots transformed skiing from a way of transportation to a safe activity and exercise!
Skiing has been an Olympic sport since 1924 and includes events such as alpine skiing (slalom, downhill, super alpine), cross-country skiing and freestyle skiing.
