The topic of Matsumi Ladies Clinic Mita English blog in March is about the Winter Olympics.

In the final part, I create an article about a new trend in this Winter Olympics.

 

Now forty-five per cent of athletes are female, which has quadrupled since 1980.

A notable trend in the 2022 Winter Olympics was the rise of mixed team sports.

They include Short Track Speed Skating Mixed Relay, Mixed Team Ski Jumping and Mixed Team Snowboard Cross.

New sports, that women can compete in, are increasing in the recent Olympics.

 

I will add some explanations into two sports among them.

①：Women’s Monobob

Technology has been taken out of the equation unlike other bobsled events.

However, their sledge and aerodynamics play essential roles to lead to winning.

 

②：Women’s Big Air Skiing

The format is similar to big snowboard air.

The course requires a single big jump.

Competitors can attempt three times to show their best tricks with different performances.

The individual’s best two attempts are added to the team’s total score.

 

The Winter Olympics and Paralympics in this season were over with full of thrilling and mesmerizing performances.

Next Winter Olympics and Paralympics will be held at Milano in Italy.
