Beijing Winter Olympics 2022

When every Winter Olympics passes, the conversation quickly turns to how dangerous everything seems to be. Well, almost everything.To get more news about olympic winter games 2022 beijing, you can visit shine news official website.

The Winter Olympics is largely about speed at extreme temperatures, trying to tame conditions that maybe shouldn't always be tamed.

Four athletes have died during the Winter Olympics in the history of the games. Two deaths have come in luge, one in alpine skiing and one in the demonstration sport of speed skiing.

The alpine skier who died was Australian Ross Milne, a young speed specialist at his first Olympics in 1964. Milne's brother, Malcolm, would later be the Australian flag bearer and compete at two Olympics. Malcolm would also be the first non-European to win a World Cup downhill race, breaking ground for skiers internationally.

For experts, these are still likely the most dangerous disciplines on show, but what about for the beginners and intermediates.

These are how the sports rank in terms of danger from the perspective of those on the couch at home.This is a balanced rating – it's all pretty dangerous by this point. As a brake in the two or four-person bobsleigh, not much is required beyond the push. From there, it's all in the pilot's hands.

But what if you are a pilot, or in the monobob? It's extremely challenging. Would not try.This one could easily be higher, but they are all pretty dangerous from here.

The sled also protects the body to some degree, and keeps it from shooting off the track.The mitigating factor here is the safety measures in the range and how many people would quit before even getting to the range. If things go poorly, however, it's pretty dangerous.

Yes, there may be giant knives on the feet of these athletes. But long track sees plenty of space between opponents, and the knives are a fair way away from the body.

Most would crash within metres of the start line, but if you can get going, you should be safe from your opponent.
Maybe you will be bad enough in your first shift that it is your last. And you shouldn't be hit hard off the puck, which you surely will be considering a lack of any skill.

Anyone who has seen a beginner snowboarder knows how unpleasant an experience it is to watch.Thankfully, true beginners would be unlikely to gain enough speed to damage themselves on the jumps of the slopestyle, big air or halfpipe.

Intermediates have a fair chance of holding up enough to go over the edge, but most would figure it's a bad idea.And in the snowboard cross, Markus Schairer broke his neck after crashing at the 2018 Winter Olympics. So pretty dangerous all up.
Again, another sport where the potential for harm increases the better you are at the sport.True beginners would likely crash and eliminate themselves before they could get into real trouble.

Intermediates who try to compete might get themselves into real trouble, especially in the downhill and super-G. And this event has killed Olympians before.
Yes, this is the event that Steven Bradbury nearly died in. Yes, it has many people with super sharp blades going around the track, close to each other.

But for a beginner or intermediate, it'd be hard to be in that mix. Accidents are pretty common in the sport, but dangerous ones are less so and you have to be good enough to be put in that position.
