The article "Mastering Winter Sports: The Science Behind Winning on Ice and Snow!" from BBC's Science Focus takes a look at how athletes use scientific principles to gain an edge in winter sports. It covers techniques and equipment used in speed skating, bobsledding, curling, ski jumping, snowboard cross, and giant slalom.
In Sarah and Duck Go Bobsledding, Sarah and Duck see a bobsleigh (bobsled) team on the computer and want to try it for themselves. They aren’t able to get momentum until they create a team and apply teamwork. Then…whee! This video is excerpted from BBC’s Sarah & Duck, a kids' show about the adventures between seven-year-old Sarah and her quacky, flappy best friend, Duck.
