今天為大家介紹雪橇：
雪橇
Luge is one of the three sliding sports on the programme at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. It is the fastest of the three, with athletes racing at speeds averaging 120-145 km/h.
雪橇是北京2022年冬奧會(huì)三個(gè)滑行類(lèi)比賽項(xiàng)目之一，也是三個(gè)比賽項(xiàng)目中速度最快的一項(xiàng)比賽。比賽中運(yùn)動(dòng)員的平均速度能夠達(dá)到120-145公里/小時(shí)。
The origin of luge as a sport can be traced to Switzerland and the town of St Moritz. The first international meeting of the sport took place in 1883 in Davos, Switzerland, with competitors racing along an icy 4km road between Davos and the village of Klosters.
雪橇運(yùn)動(dòng)的起源可以追溯到瑞士圣莫里茨小鎮(zhèn)。第一屆雪橇國(guó)際賽事于1883年在達(dá)沃斯舉行，當(dāng)時(shí)運(yùn)動(dòng)員在達(dá)沃斯和克洛斯特斯之間4公里的賽道上進(jìn)行比賽。
In 1957, The International Luge Federation was founded, and in 1964, luge made its Olympic debut in Innsbruck. In 2014, a team relay event was added to the Olympic programme.
1957年國(guó)際雪橇聯(lián)合會(huì)成立。在1964年因斯布魯克冬奧會(huì)上，雪橇比賽首次亮相。2014年的冬奧會(huì)增加了雪橇團(tuán)體接力項(xiàng)目。
All sliding events will take place at the Yanqing National Sliding Centre, located in the Xiaohaituo mountain area in Yanqing, 74km northwest of Beijing. A total of 106 quota spots are available for athletes to qualify to compete in luge at the Games. There are 12 medals available in the luge competition at the Games.
北京冬奧會(huì)滑行項(xiàng)目的比賽都將在延慶國(guó)家雪車(chē)雪橇中心舉行，該場(chǎng)館位于北京西北74公里的延慶小海陀山區(qū)。北京冬奧會(huì)雪橇比賽共設(shè)106個(gè)參賽席位，將產(chǎn)生12枚獎(jiǎng)牌。
In the singles competition, athletes compete on the same track, with each rider getting four runs over the course of two days. These four rides are timed down to the thousandth of a second and the times are added together. The athlete with the fastest total time is the winner.
在單人雪橇比賽中，運(yùn)動(dòng)員在同一條賽道比賽，每位選手需要在兩天內(nèi)完成4次比賽，每次成績(jī)精確到千分之一秒。所有成績(jī)加在一起，用時(shí)最少的選手獲勝。
The doubles competition takes place in a single day, with each pair getting two runs. Again, the pair with the fastest cumulative time wins the gold.
雙人雪橇比賽在一天內(nèi)完成，每對(duì)選手完成兩次滑行。同樣，兩次總成績(jī)用時(shí)最少的選手獲勝。
The team relay involves three sledges from a single National Olympic Committee: women's singles, men's singles and doubles. The women's sledge is the first to race, with the athlete striking an overhead touchpad at the bottom of the track, which opens the gate and allows the next sledge (men's single) to begin. The men's double is the last sledge to race in the event. The winner is the team with the lowest time after all three sledges cross the finish line.
團(tuán)體接力賽中每個(gè)國(guó)家派出三組選手參賽：包括女子單人雪橇、男子單人雪橇和男子雙人雪橇。比賽過(guò)程中，女子單人雪橇率先登場(chǎng)，運(yùn)動(dòng)員在賽道終點(diǎn)敲擊頭頂上的觸摸板方可打開(kāi)大門(mén)，讓下一輪比賽的選手（男子單人雪橇）開(kāi)始比賽。男子雙人雪橇在該賽項(xiàng)目中最后出場(chǎng)。最終統(tǒng)計(jì)總成績(jī)，用時(shí)最少的團(tuán)隊(duì)獲勝。
