opportunity you’ll ever get to try this wide a range of

Olympic winter sports and learn what it takes to achieve

great results in each of them. Winter Games invites you

to actively engage yourself in a number of disciplines

and the science behind them.

WS10 Ski JumpingPlace yourself on the footprints. Be ready for

jumping. Jump up as high as you can exactly

when you reach the end of the slope. On the

screen you can see the length of your ski jump.

WS21 Curling You start by setting the curling stone rotating

a little. If the stone rotates anticlockwise, it will

curl to the left. If the stone rotates clockwise, it

will curl to the right.

WS22 Curling stone and brush Sweeping with a curling broom warms the

ice and allows a thin film of moisture to form

between the ice and stone.

Curling stones weigh 18.5 kg. All stones must

have the same temperature as the ice, -4.5° C.

WS30 Try slalomIn a downhill race the speed during the corners

reaches 80 km/h and on downhill slopes the

maximum speed is 145 km/h. A typical slalom

run takes about one minute. You can try it here!

WS31 Try Hahnenkamm! The legendary downhill race Hahnenkammren-

nen in Kitzbühel has a passage, where the incli-

nation of the slope is 40.4 degrees. The slope is

called the mousetrap.

Can you reach the top?

WS32 Downhill simulator Speed skiing is an extreme form of skiing,

where the goal is to ski as fast as possible down

a hill. The world record for men is 251 km/h and

women’s record is 242 km/h.

What’s your record?

WS40 Can you score in ice hockey?The slapshot is the hardest shot in ice hockey.

A good stroke can get the puck flying off at a

speed of 180 km/h. But the slap shot is also an

uncertain shot – both the shovel shot and the

wrist shot give greater accuracy. The situation

determines which shot to choose!

Winter Games

WS56 Optimize your skiSki waxingThe construction of the ski in combination with

your weight decides the camber of the ski. This

influences the zones where glide and grip wax are

to be applied.

Grip waxGrip wax should be soft enough to allow snow

crystals to get stuck on it when this part of the ski is

pressed against the snow.

Glide waxThe sole purpose of glide wax is to provide low

friction. The ski should slide as easily as possible.

WS60 Snowboard Try snowboard movements.

Move the board to the sides with the help of

your foot placed closest to the front of the

board.

WS51 Biathlon Biathlon is a combination of cross-country skiing

and shooting. You have to be both fast and a

good shot to win! If you miss the target, you are

given a time penalty or have to take a penalty

loop. To become a good biathlete, you must be

good at multi-tasking. A minor mistake can have

big consequences.

WS70 Bobsleigh track Bobsleigh is one of the most terrifying winter

sport disciplines. It’s a sled with runners,

enclosed in a fiber glass casing. The bobsleigh

shoots along at speeds of around 130 km/h on a

specially built track cast in concrete. The run is

over in less than a minute.

Good luck!
