The "tuck" position is more aerodynamic so there is less wind resistance. This makes a particularly big difference in downhill and super-g races when the skiers are reaching speeds well over 100km/h and every 0.01 of a second counts. It is also important in the slower disciplines giant slalom and slalom but it is not as important.
yes. you can enter in the juvenile/youth class in downhill
The combined time of the slalom and downhill race.
If you are referring to skiing, then this would be known as Alpine skiing. There is also slalom races which involves markers in the trail which the skiers have to ski around.
It depends upon the particular Olympics. There are summer and winter Olympics. Examples of races in the summer Olympics include competitions among the world's fastest runners and swimmers. Examples of races in the winter Olympics include competitions among the world's fastest skiers.

Due to the terrain being mostly downhill the half-marathon in is considered the most fun in America.
In cross-country skiing, there are various race formats that can be categorized as "blank races," which typically refer to races where no specific time or placement is recorded, often used for training or informal competitions. These races allow participants to focus on technique and endurance without the pressure of competition. They can be beneficial for skiers of all levels to develop their skills in a more relaxed environment. Additionally, blank races can foster camaraderie among participants and encourage a love for the sport.
Velocity, you divide distance/time Hi my names bob.
It really depends on what form of skiing they do. If they are back bowl mountain skiers, I do not know exactly, but it is fast by skiing standards. In the olympics, there's the downhill races. they may reach 95 mph depending on the course. There is also a type of skiing called speed skiing where people lock themselves in a nearly immobilizing suit and bomb down grooves straight down a steep mountain slope. In this, people have exceeded 150 mph. A crash in this could easily be deadly.
no go have them tuned at your local ski shop A. That depends. Most factory finishes are fine for novice-intermediate skiers (assuming the base is flat) but you will still need to hot wax your skies to obtain better glide, durability and longevity of the bases. Better skiers and races will always tune their skis the way they like them, and that generally means changing the base and side edge angels. Most skiers don't "detune" their edges any more with the newer shaped skis. A ski that grabs too much is more likely the fault of poor balance and not the tune.
There are many different races that are held besides foot races. These races include bike races, swimming races, and competence races.
