English translation:change of radius
Explanation:



Change radius of turns to suit snow conditions and terrain

Athlete can perform long, medium and short radius turns

Athlete is not able to change the radius smoothly


http://sports.specialolympics.org/specialo.org/Special_/Engl...

Look for a distinct change of radius from up-unweighted long turns into short turns. The large radius turns should be at speed with at least a strong refined turn before entering the short turns. Turns must be round showing leg steering and edge performance.

Reference information:
Hoe zijn de ski's beoordeeld:

A. Het ‘eigen stuurvermogen’. Dit is misschien wel de belangrijkste eigenschap van de moderne ski. Als de ski ingekant wordt wil deze vanwege de taillering direct een bocht maken. Beoordeeld is of dit bochtengedrag goed (+) was of niet (-) op vier onderdelen. De inzet van de bocht, hoe snijdt de ski de bocht aan (1); het doorlopen van de bocht, breekt de ski uit, vraagt de ski doorlopend aandacht (2); de stabiliteit in de bocht, de ‘wegligging’ (3); de dynamiek of levendigheid van de ski. Ondanks een rustige wegligging moet de ski wel dynamisch zijn (4).

B. De ‘handling’ van de ski. Hoe makkelijk kan je met de ski omgaan. Kan ik makkelijk invloed uitoefenen? Dit onderdeel is gesplitst in radiuswissel en kantenwissel.

Bij de radiuswissel zit de bocht als het ware in de ski geprogrammeerd. Hoe makkelijk (+) of niet (-) laat de ski zich beïnvloeden?
Bij de kantenwissel: is de ski makkelijk (+) of moeilijk (-) van de ene kant op de andere te krijgen?
