Heavy Medal

The 2010 Winter Olympics are just about at an end now. Canadians have distinguishedthemselves across the board as strong, competitive and successful athletes as well as personsof courage. Less than two weeks ago our media was telling us how disappointing they were.Typical Canadians; content to be there, polite to a fault but no overriding drive to win, thealso-rans of the world flying under the American wing. What foolish, empty and self-serving

journalism! The media is the one that lacks the commitment not the athletes.

The Olympics are about competition and performance. No athlete goes to compete without ahuge desire to win. The honour to participate in an Olympic event is a lifetime opportunity togo up against the best in the field. It is also the moment when every athlete mercilessly

judges himself. The push for personal best means to exceed every performance he or she hasever made before; to go beyond the limits of ability and endurance. No top competitor goeswith the expectation of being anything less than the absolute winner. Who puts in years of rigorous training and sacrifice with hopes of being second or third? Watching the LadiesFree Style Skating will tell you everything you ever need to know about commitment fromthe depths of your soul. A whole life focused down into one point of action that is stretchingfar past the bounds of pain and personal existence. That is where a human being becomes notsimply an athlete but a hero of true proportion. Those moments are the very essence of whatinspires us and why we can’t stop watching the events. The pressure of the competitionstretches our souls. The media talk it but the athletes really walk it. The judgement of themedia is blatantly superficial compared to what the athletes have to find within themselves inorder to give their very best in competition.

Owning the Podium is about the goal of competition … to win and keep winning. That focuswas the motivation used to bring financial and emotional support to every Canadian thattrained for an Olympic event. It set a standard in every mind and a focus for each day’s

Strength does not come from winning.Your struggles develop your strengths.

When you go through hardships and de-cide not to surrender, that is strength.

Victory in Competition

The ultimate victory in competition isderived from the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your bestand that you have gotten the most out of what you had to give.

concentration . Once we have backed people weneed to have the faith to let them go out and showshow their capabilities. They have an obligation tous but they are competing for something that is be-yond most of our understanding. Not personalbest, not pride, not nationalism but to give morethan they ever knew they had in them before. Inthis Canada has no need to take a back seat toanyone else.

Hockey is a direct contact event and one of the highlights of the Winter Games. Everybodyfeels the surge of competition and the desire to not just win but to show the other guys athing or two. The Men’s Hockey Team are pros at this and the performance of the CanadianWomen’s Hockey Team should leave no doubt that Canadians are there to fight it out forthe gold no quarter given. The sang froid and focus shown in the Curling events ought tomake it clear that Canadians aren’t personally satisfied with anything less than the top wins.There are no also-rans here.

There’s nothing overly polite and accommodating about our competitive edge. Let’s stoptalking about how “nice” we Canadians are. Nice isn’t our first quality but winning is. Ourstyle is to be civilized but that said we came to win and we won big. Everyone should takenotice. We can win and we can be big enough to be respectful, too. We’re not flying underthe shadow of anyone else and we don’t need to be humble about it. Canada rocks.

To an Athlete Dying Young

A.E. HousmanThe time you won your town the raceWe chaired you through the market-place;Man and boy stood cheering by,And home we brought you shoulder-high.

To-day, the road all runners come,Shoulder-high we bring you home,And set you at your threshold down,Townsman of a stiller town.

Smart lad, to slip betimes awayFrom fields were glory does not stayAnd early though the laurel growsIt withers quicker than the rose.

Eyes the shady night has shutCannot see the record cut,And silence sounds no worse than cheersAfter earth has stopped the ears.

Now you will not swell the routOf lads that wore their honours out,Runners whom renown outranAnd the name died before the man.

So set, before its echoes fade,The fleet foot on the sill of shade,And hold to the low lintel upThe still-defended challenge-cup.

And round that early-laurelled headWill flock to gaze the strengthless dead,And find unwithered on its curlsThe garland briefer than a girl's.

Physics of Luge

The physics concepts involved in a luge:

force and inertia - A great amount of force isrequired to get the slider moving at the startof the course.gravity - The force of gravity pulls the sliderand the sled down the track.friction - The amount of friction between thesled and the track works against gravity andis a prime determining factor in speed.aerodynamic drag : Aerodynamic drag actson the slider/sled combination to resist its

motion through the air. The lower the drag,the higher the speed.

g-force : A g is equal to the force exerted bygravity. It is the force acting on a body that isaccelerating. If a slider is facing 3 g's througha turn, his body feels three times heavierthan his actual weight when he is at rest.At the start of the course, the slider/sled unitis at rest. The slider's goal is to begin the runwith the utmost speed, so he needs to propelthe racing unit onto the course with as muchforce as possible to overcome its inertia (itsdesire to remain at rest). If the slider weighs198 pounds (89 kg), and the sled weighs

50.6 pounds (23 kg), that's a combined mass of about 247 pounds (112 kg). By rockingback and forth at the top of the track, theslider needs to generate enough momentumto propel 247 pounds through the first 10 feetof the course in something like 2 seconds toachieve a really good start.

As the slope begins, the slider lies down onthe sled and lets gravity take over. In luge,higher weight means greater speed. Thegreater the weight of the athlete, the greaterthe force of gravity pulling her down the track.To reduce the amount of friction betweenthe sled and the track, the steels are polishedwith numerous substances, including sand-paper and diamond paste.Another force acting against the pull of grav-ity throughout the run is aerodynamic drag .Aerodynamic drag consists of air friction »

« and form drag. In luge, when air runsover the top of the rider, it interacts with thematerials of the helmet and racing suit. To

reduce air friction , racing suits are slip-pery and skin-tight, and the visor on a lugehelmet is rounded and extends all the wayunder the slider's chin so there are no airpockets. The interaction between the airand the frontal shape of the slider/sledcombination results in form drag . In addi-tion to using the most aerodynamic shapesfor the sleds, the slider tries to further mini-mize form drag by maintaining an aerody-namic body position. The less area he pre-sents to the oncoming air, the better.

Probably the most physically batteringpoints on a luge run are the turns, and es-pecially the turn combinations, when g-forces increase. Acceleration and decel-eration throughout a luge course puts anaverage force of up to 3 g's on a slider'sbody. Forces can reach up to 5 g's inbanked turns, when centrifugal force adds another dimension to the forces act-ing on the slider.

Centrifugal force pulls the slider outward inthe turn. To maintain speed, the slidermust perfectly balance the centrifugal forcewith the force of gravity pulling him down-ward through the course. This means find-ing the "sweet spot" and staying there. Ifthe forces are balanced, the sled will

smoothly move through each turn and backinto the straightaways. If they are unbal-anced, the slider will have to steer toomuch, slowing down the run
