Produktbeschreibung
The Frozen Games would be an all-snow-sports alternative to the Winter Olympic Games. Eight of the sports are in the Winter Olympics, but the Frozen Games would feature events from those sports which are NOT in the Winter Olympics. Five of the sports have been discontinued from or demonstrated at the Winter Olympics - the Frozen Games would revive these. An additional 25 snow sports have never been a part of the Winter Olympics. Even a winter sports afficionado might be surprised at the large number of alternative snow sports available. Still other snow sports, not part of the Frozen Games or Winter Olympics, are briefly described. The book describes and discusses the sports and competing nations, as well as the athletes; biographical information is provided as available. The Para Frozen Games would be a companion to the Frozen Games, with sports and events for athletes with disabilities. With suitable backing, support and venues, wintertime athletes might clamor for a chance to vie for a Frozen Games podium!
Autorenporträt
Wayne D. Cottrell, Ph.D. has published cycling guides, a series of books entitled Charting the Music, and Engineering: Facts, Fields, Foundations, & Fundamentals. His pastimes include running and cycling (both road and trail), orienteering, snowshoeing, and piano. The inspiration for this book came in part from snowshoeing, and the curiosity associated with that sport's exclusion from the Winter Olympic Games.
