Many types of competitive skiing events are recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), and the International Ski Federation (FIS). History Skiing has a history of almost five millennia. Although modern skiing has evolved from beginnings in Scandinavia, it may have been practiced more than 100 centuries ago in what is now China, according to an interpretation of ancient paintings.

The underside of the short ski was either plain or covered with animal s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
