Sports and snow sports are all outdoor sports. How does the weather affect sports events?

The influence of weather on sports events

Weather forecast is particularly important for large-scale sports meetings. It is one of the important links to ensure the normal operation of various competitions. Sports snow events are all outdoor sports, and the dependence on the weather can be imagined: TV stations need accurate competition time to facilitate the broadcast of events; Advertisers and sponsors are more concerned about when and in what competitions their advertisements are broadcast. Sports teams pay more attention to the weather.

Temperature, whether it snows, snow thickness, visibility, humidity, wind speed, etc. , has become an important parameter for each team to specify tactics in the game. The geographical environment of each ski resort is different. Even in the same ski resort, the weather conditions are changing every day or even at different times. Humidity, temperature, wind direction and other factors will directly determine the initial speed and height, tumbling speed, flying time and final landing quality of the skater, and sometimes even affect the safety of the skater.

At the beginning of 2006, in a game in Salt Lake City, an excellent Russian athlete who won the world championship was smashed into a fracture because of the strong wind. However, in 2005, when a Chinese male aerobatic athlete participated in a competition in Europe, a strong wind suddenly blew after taking off. Fortunately, he received the forecast from the meteorological department before the game, and he was already mentally prepared. With rich experience, he immediately reduced the difficulty and saved the day.

In the 2006 Turin Olympic Games, many competitions originally held due to weather turned into disasters under the accurate forecast of the meteorological department. At the Saoze Duerks Ski Resort of freestyle skiing aerial skill competition, there is fog every evening, which makes the competition more difficult. The women's preliminaries were also postponed because the meteorological conditions could not meet the competition conditions. On the 22nd, the women's final can be held as scheduled. While thanking the beautiful weather, I really want to thank the meteorological department for its accurate forecast.
