by The U.S. Ski Team Newsdesk Park City, Utah Feb. 25, 2002 (USSA)U.S. Ski and Snowboard athletes wrapped up the 2002 Olympic Winter Games with a list of record Olympic performances and achieved the organization's long-stated goal of winning a record 10 medals. "This was a team effort and we take a great deal of pride in the accomplishments of these athletes, especially in achieving our team goal," said U.S. Ski and Snowboard Team President and CEO Bill Marolt. Marolt established the ten-medal goal over three years ago, four more than the previous high mark of six set in Nagano. "We knew coming into these Games that ten medals was a stretch for us, but our athletes achieved it," he said. "Bode Miller's silvers in alpine skiing are a tremendous accomplishment," said Marolt. "And, much as we had expected, snowboard and freestyle continue to be very strong sports for us. We're also very pleased with the progress we saw in the nordic events, especially nordic combined where we had U.S. bests in all three of the events including a fourth in the team competition, and cross country skiing where we had Olympic bests on both the men's and women's side, including a fifth-place finish for the men in the relay!" It was a record-setting Olympics in nearly every sport for the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Team including:

Richard W. Moulton - Legends of American Skiing This program contains historic footage from twenty filmmakers with photographs and additional footage from over thirty private collections. In includes interviews with a remarkable array of ski pioneers. The program begins by describing skiing in the gold camps of California in the mid-1800s. Bill Berry discusses the Alturas Snowshoe Club, long-board racing, and the feats of Snowshoe Thompson. The Nansen Ski Club of Berlin, New Hampshire is described by Sel Hannah. The Hemmestvedt brothers of Norway introduced ski jumping to the Midwest in the mid-1880s. In 1904, the National Ski Association was formed at Ishpeming, Michigan. Lowell Thomas recalls learning to ski with mountain troops in Italy during World War I. Hannes Schneider was an instructor to the Austrian mountain troops and pioneered the Arlberg technique for downhill skiing. In 1922, British skiers invented the slalom race. Around the same time they developed standardized ski tests. Downhill skiing gradually spread to the U.S. and Canada. Collegiate skiing in the U.S. started in the 1910s at Dartmouth College. Charlie Proctor describes Dartmouth skiing and the first U.S. downhill race on Mt Moosilauke in 1927. Roger Langley describes the effort to convince the nordic-dominated National Ski Association to adopt alpine skiing events. The 1932 Lake Placid Olympic Games included nordic events only and the NSA finally sanctioned alpine skiing in 1933.

History:
Origins
People began strapping skis to their feet as far back as 5,000 years ago. It is believed that Norwegians were the first they used skis as a way of hunting across snow-covered terrain. From Norway, skiing expanded throughout Scandinavia and Russia as a mode of winter transportation and eventually as a sport similar to cross-country skiing. Alpine skiing evolved from cross-country skiing. The first alpine skiing competition, a primitive downhill, was held in the 1850s in Oslo. A few decades later, the sport spread to the remainder of Europe and to the United States, where miners held skiing competitions to entertain themselves during the winter. Inclusion as an Olympic sport
Modern alpine racing was invented by Englishman Sir Arnold Lunn and Austrian Hannes Schneider. Lunn, a son of a London travel agent, spent his years traveling through the Alps and envisioning racing through the majestic range. Lunn organized the first slalom in 1922 in Muerren, Switzerland, and joined forces with Schneider two years later to organize the race that would become the first Olympic alpine event. The Arlberg-Kandahar, a combined slalom and downhill event, is now referred to as the first legitimate alpine event the race that planted the seed for alpine's inclusion in the Olympic program.

Norwegian Hohan Grottumsbraaten took gold in 1:37:01, reflecting the lack of major trail preparations other than marking them in the ‘good old days’. Putnam concluded his Olympic thoughts with, "Although outclassed, Canada was by no means disgraced. Given a few more years, we will surely give our Norwegian friends a great run for premier honours."

Michigan's Long History of Ski Jumping
By Vivian M. Baulch The Detroit News Skiing quite possibly is the oldest sport known to man. (Picture a clever caveman tying some old mastadon ribs to his feet and scooting around the mountains.) Since the dawn of history, northern Europeans have looked on skiing as more efficient than walking. A museum in Stockholm, Sweden, claims to have a pair of skis that may be 5,000 years old. In the Middle Ages, armies proficient in the art of skiing controlled snow-covered areas of Europe. As skiing developed into a leisure-time activity, categories such as alpine and nordic skiing evolved. But the most spectacular forms of skiing clearly are ski jumping and ski flying, thrilling not only to the jumper but to those spectators who brave the cold to marvel at the sight. During the 1870s and 1880s the first ski-jumping tournaments in the country were held in Ishpeming, a tiny Michigan mining community near Lake Superior. Renegade skiiers seeking even greater thrills developed what became known as ski flying. In ski jumping, the jumper follows the curve of the hill, usually no more than 10 feet off the ground, while fliers aim for much greater heights and distances. The sport is considered so dangerous that ski jumping is a male-only sport in the Olympic games and ski flying is not recognized at all.

Olympic Winter Games Tormod Mobraaten, third from the left, with Canadian Olympic Ski Team prior to sailing for Germany to attend the 1936 Winter Games in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The first Winter Olympic Games were held in 1924 at Chamonix, France. Canada did not send athletes to the cross country events at these games, but did have representation at the following games in 1928. At these early Winter Olympics, there were only two cross country ski events, an 18 km "sprint" and a 50 km race. Canada’s first ever skiing contingent, two skiers from eastern Canada, entered the 18 km event and finished 37 th and 40 th respectively, a very satisfactory beginning to Canadian participation in Olympic cross country competition. In 1932, British Columbia had two skiers qualify for the Canadian Ski Team, Karl Lindaas and Kaare Engstad, both skiing for the Omineca Ski Club of Burns Lake. Unfortunately, naturalization requirements or financial obstacles prevented many qualifiers from representing Canada at these early events. Only Karre Engstad was able to raise the necessary support (most of it from the Burns Lake community, who even went so far as to make box lunches for his rail trip to the east)

About Biathlon
Description and history of Biathlon - how the sport evolved... This page was last updated 11 February 2000 - Under construction
What is Biathlon:
Biathlon is a Winter Olympic Sport which combines cross country skiing with precision target shooting. There is also a warm weather variant called Summer Biathlon which replaces skiing with running. In a typical Winter race, a Biathlete is required to ski with his or her rifle over a set distance to a shooting range, where five shots at five knockdown targets 50 m down range are taken from prone position. Depending on the format, either a time penalty or penalty laps are assessed for missed shots. The racer then skiis another loop, and comes back to the shooting range for another set of shots - this time from a standing stance. Again penalties are assessed for missed shots. The biathlete then skiis a final loop to complete the race. A more complete description of the various race formats may be found here Though a seemingly unlikely combination of events - one is an aerobic activity which requires strength, speed, and endurance; the other is a passive activity which requires concentration and a steady hand (difficult after you've been skiing all out!), the biathlon concept evolved from two activities which have a long history - hunting and winter warfare.
1994 Olympic Postcard
Hunting Origins
Rock paintings depicting hunters with bow and arrow moving on sliding timber have been found near Roedoey, Norway which date back to the Neolithic age (about 3000 BC). However, the first written descriptions of hunting on skiis come from Roman, Greek, and Chinese historical writings. These include such well known authors as the Roman poet Virgil, who described hunting on skiis in 400 BC.
