Description:
Skiing is a tool that allows people to move forward on the snow by spreading their weight over a wider area, without sinking into the soft snow, and a sport that uses this tool to spread their weight over a wider area and to stick to the snow when they step.
History:
The first form of skiing is thought to be people making various pieces from various trees in order not to sink in the snow. The first skis, dating back 10-20,000 years, were made of ash, betel nut and pine trees. To increase their grip on the snow, the middle of the sole of those made of pine was covered with tar, and those made of betel nut were covered with leather. The regions where skis first appeared and were used are Siberia, Mongolia and the Altai. Cave paintings in this region dating back 10-20,000 years depict people with skis on their feet. [1] The oldest ski finds were found 8,000 years ago in Vis in Northern Russia. They later spread to North America, the Balkans, Anatolia and northwestward to Scandinavia and Iceland. The 5,000-year-old rock paintings found in Norway (Alstahaug, Nordland) show a man skiing; One of these was the inspiration for the graphics of the 1994 Winter Olympics. A primitive pine ski (Hoting Ski) found in Sweden in 1921 was determined to be 4,500 years old. The first ski club in the world was founded in 1877 under the name "Christiania Skiklub" in Norway with the initiative of Fridtjof Nansen. This was followed by ski clubs in Germany in 1890, Austria in 1894, France in 1901 and England in 1903. With the establishment of the International Ski Federation (Federation International de Ski) FIS, headquartered in Bern in 1924, skiing was included in the Winter Olympic program the same year. The "Nordic Discipline" competitions organized by FIS for the first time in 1925 and the "Alpine Discipline" competitions organized in 1931 are currently held every two years, in separate locations and independently of each other.
