Slopestyle in Sochi 2014
06.07.11 | Contests & Jams
Grossartige News für die Snowboardwelt. Neu wird an den Olympischen Winterspielen die Disziplin Slopestyle ebenfalls vertreten sein, wie das Olympische Komitee (IOC) nun offiziell mitgeteilt hat. Das bedeutet für Iouri Podladtchikov nichts anderes, als dass er Shaun White 2014 gleich zwei Olympische Goldmedaillen absnaken kann. Was für eine Revanche! Bleibt für uns nur zu hoffen, dass die Russen ihn nicht gleich wieder behalten wollen.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) confirmed today the inclusion of ski slopestyle (men and women), slopestyle (men and women), and snowboard parallel special slalom (men and women) on the sports programme of the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi. The decision was taken by the IOC Executive Board (EB) ahead of the 123rd IOC Session in Durban, South Africa, and follows the inclusion in April of ski halfpipe (men and women), women’s ski jumping, biathlon mixed relay, figure skating team event and luge team relay. “We are very pleased with the addition of ski and snowboard slopestyle and snowboard special slalom in the Olympic Winter Games programme,” said IOC President Jacques Rogge. “Such events provide great entertainment for the spectators and add further youthful appeal to our already action-packed lineup of Olympic winter sports. We look forward to welcoming all the athletes to Sochi in 2014.” |
