Description

Alpine skiing has been inextricably linked with European culture for the last few centuries, with the sport quickly gaining traction in the Americas and in Japan. It is one of the most healthy sports to spend time on: for both calorie reduction and muscle tone, it is hard to beat it
It has been an integral part of the Winter Olympics for many years. With almost a dozen events under the umbrella of alpine skiing, it is one of the most important disciplines at the Games, in addition to being visually stunning.
Health and safety have become a very important aspect of skiing over the past few years, with the backup and safety standards on piste being the best they have ever been.
In this book, you will test your memory of the greatest winter athletes ever to put on a pair of skis, and of the countries they represented proudly over the years.
