The Influence of Polymers on Athletics in Winter Olympics

Abstract

Nowadays, polymers play a crucial role in the Winter Olympics, from the equipment used by athletes to the infrastructure of the event. Skis, snowboards, and ice skates are all made from advanced polymer materials that offer high strength. These materials are also designed to withstand extreme temperatures and harsh weather conditions, making them ideal for winter sports. In addition, polymers provide excellent insulation and can withstand the weight and pressure of heavy equipment and crowds. Furthermore, polymers are used in the production of clothing and protective gear for athletes, such as helmet, goggles, and gloves. These materials offer superior performance, comfort, and protection against impact and injury. In summary, polymers have revolutionized the Winter Olympics by providing athletes with the equipment and infrastructure necessary to compete at the highest level. This paper gives information about what are the polymers materials which used in the Winter Olympics and how they can apply in the different fields of the sports.
