 Snowboarding

Snowboarding is an Olyimpc sport people compete in today. Snowboarding is one of those sports people wish they were in. Snowboarding was developed in the 1960's. In 1998 Snowboarding made its way to the Olympics. But before that in the 1970's Snowboarders did not not always share the mountains with skiers. They would snowboard on ski mountains. The skiers called it invading their mountain. In 1980 Snowboarding became a nation wide sport for people all around the world to do. Some athletes that compete in the Olympics for snowboarding tend to get very competitive. Some athletes today are: Seth Wescott, Lindsey Jacobellis, Kelly Clark, Gretchen Bleiler, Shaun White and Hannah Teter. They all work extremely hard to go for the gold. In fact one time when Lindsey Jacobellis was racing she had fell off her snowboard while trying to attempt a trick right at the finish line. She didn't give up and kept trying and ended up in second place. The winner from Switzerland was, Tanja Frieden. Snowboarding in the Olympics is all a race to the finish line. The point is to go on jumps, do tricks, and make it down the mountain in first place. Some of the equipment they use are: a Half pipe board, Half pipe boots an Alpine board, a helmet (it is required for all competitors participating in Half pipe competitions). Being a snowboarder takes a lot of balance and skill to do the things that experts in the Olympics do. People who snowboard must really enjoy to have the fun they have in the Olymipcs and they do it often.
