US Winter Olympians Go Shirtless For Cosmopolitan

When it comes to the Olympics, the summer edition is more my jam. Gymnastics, swimming, diving… need I go on. After watching this clip, I might have to change my tune.

Ten sexy athletes from Team USA get half-naked to deliver some Olympic-themed pick-up lines. “I wanted the gold medal in Sochi, but I settled for silver because I wanted to make sure you come first,” Gus Kenworthysays in the…

Your guide to snowboard cross at the 2018 Winter Olympics

What time is snowboard snowcross on at the Olympics? Plus all the rules, streaming information, listings, and more you need.

For the fourth time in Winter Olympic history, snowboard cross will be a featured freestyle snowboard event, and Team USA will send four men and four women to compete in the event. Making its Olympic debut in 2006, snowboard cross has grown in popularity, especially among younger athletes — more than half of the American freestyle delegates in Pyeongchang are under the age of 21.

Racing for the American men are Jonathan Cheever, Nick Baumgartner, Hagen Kearney, and Mick Dierdorff. Cheever was the only teammate to qualify through objective criteria, with the other three riders being named as discretionary picks. Baumgartner is the only racer with past Olympic experience, having competed in the last two Winter Games — although, his best finish was No. 20.

The women’s team is stacked heading into the 2018 games, especially with the return of legend Lindsey Jacobellis, who will compete in her fourth Winter Olympics. During the event’s debut in 2006, Jacobellis won a silver medal despite wiping out whole in the lead during the final race. She’s crashed out in the last two Olympics��� semifinal runs, but is still favored to medal in Pyeongchang.

It’s not just Jacobellis bringing experience to women’s snowboard cross group, Faye Gulini is preparing to compete in her third Olympic games. She finished fourth in Sochi in 2014, and is looking to snag a spot on the medal podium this time around. The rest of Team USA includes rookies Meghan Tierney and Rosie Mancari.

What time and how can I watch?

Men’s heat

Date: Feb. 15, 2018

Time: 9 p.m. ET (finals expected 12:41 a.m. ET)

Location: Phoenix Snow Park, Pyeongchang, South Korea

TV: NBC

Streaming: NBC Sports | FuboTV

Women’s heat

Date: Feb. 16, 2018

Time: 8 p.m. ET (finals expected 10:52 p.m. ET)

Location: Phoenix Snow Park, Pyeongchang, South Korea

TV: NBC

Streaming: NBC Sports | FuboTV

Why should I quit my job and become a lifelong devotee of snowboard cross?

One of the best things about this event is that you don’t have to wait days in between heats to get to the finals. Running one right after another, you can settle in for a few hours of intense viewing, filled with both incredible tricks landed in spectacular fashion and wipe outs that you can feel from thousands of miles away.

What are the rules of snowboard cross?

Each heat consists of six snowboarders racing on a downhill course, and the top three finishers in each heat advance to the next round. The downhill course is inspired by motocross tracks and features jumps, banked turns, and rollers. With the various obstacles, there are some rules on the mountain, including automatic disqualification for any intentional contact by pushing or pulling, or anything else that might cause an opposing rider to slow down or fall. First one over the finish line in the medal round will claim gold — the event has occasionally had to rely on a photo finish to name a winner.

What can I talk about to impress the snowboard cross enthusiast in my life?

During each heat, the six riders wear different color bibs indicating their seeding/qualification run ranking. The top-ranked rider wears a red bib, with No. 2 wearing green, No. 3 blue, No. 4 yellow, No. 5 white, and No. 6 black. Riders get to choose which of the six starting gates they will use based on their ranking.

You just have to practice this one sentence, “Oh look, the rider wearing the red bib finished in the lead of their last heat.”

Whose jersey should I buy?

The women are the heroes for the United States in this event, and if you’re looking to put money on a medal winner, you should look no further than Lindsey Jacobellis and/or Faye Gulini. Both women are experienced riders and no stranger to the Winter Olympics. They have the experience to rise above the pressure of competing on the World’s biggest stage, and as they each inch closer to the end of their career, will look to claim a medal before hanging up their boots.

What is the sport’s AMERICA RATING?

The United States hasn’t had the most success on the medal podium in this event, but it’s ultimately the grown-up version of racing your friends down a hill on a snow day, which is super “America.” The event gets three out of five bald eagles, because it’s not something everyone gets into, but people would still be mad if they didn’t include it in the Winter Olympics moving forward.

What’s the best GIF I can watch from snowboard cross?

Ficha bibliográfica: “Movimiento y aprendizaje”

Referencia

Jensen, E. (2010). Movimiento y aprendizaje. En E. Jensen, Cerebro y aprendizaje (117-127). Madrid, España: Narcea.

Síntesis y principales conclusiones:

En el capítulo se comienza señalando que recurrentemente se tiende a relegar la educación física y las artes como algo ajeno al aprendizaje al hacer la separación mente y cuerpo, dejando las actividades físicas como algo más bien accesorio. Sin embargo, investigaciones más recientes sobre el cerebro y su funcionamiento nos dicen que esto es un error. El cerebelo, una zona relacionada con el movimiento, a pesar de ser una zona más bien pequeña, tiene más de la mitad de  las neuronas del cerebro, al respecto se menciona el caso de un doctor que tenía un paciente con una lesión cerebelar y  una función cognitiva debilitada, por lo que se hizo necesario vincular el movimiento y el pensamiento. Así mismo se menciona que el cerebelo está implicado en diversos procesos cerebrales que son fundamentales para el sistema de atención, para mantener el equilibrio, para transformar el pensamiento en acciones, para coordinar los movimientos y  que además se conecta con áreas relacionadas a la memoria, la percepción espacial y la filtración e integración de datos, por lo que la misma área que procesa el movimiento esta también involucrada en el aprendizaje. De esta manera, no hay un centro de movimientos en el cerebro, sino que el movimiento y el aprendizaje están en interacción constante. Hallazgos de esta índole sugieren el valor de la educación física, el movimiento y los juegos en la potenciación de la cognición.

Por otra parte, el autor señala  el vínculo existente entre desarrollo motor y aprendizaje. En esta oportunidad menciona la zona cingulada anterior como la responsable de unir los movimientos con el aprendizaje, ya que esta se activa cuando se aprenden nuevos movimientos. Estos al no estar en la memoria activan otros lugares del cerebro además del cerebelo y la zona cingulada anterior, lo que cambia el centro de atención del cerebro. De esta manera menciona que la integración sensoriomotriz en fundamental en los procesos de aprendizaje

El deporte del mismo modo que mejora el estado del corazón, los músculos y los pulmones, también fortalece zonas clave en el cerebro tales como los ganglios basales, el cerebelo y el cuerpo calloso, ya que el ejercicio aporta nutrientes a al cerebro, lo cual mejora sus conexiones y su crecimiento preparándolo para responder con rapidez a nuevos retos. Es por esto que el autor señala la importancia del ejercicio físico en las escuelas, ya que se ha mostrado que los niños que participan en actividades físicas diariamente, tienen mejoras en sus resultados académicos y una actitud más favorable hacia la escuela, lo cual es fundamental a la hora de enseñar.

Al respecto del punto anterior el autor menciona casos en los cuales se han implementado clases artísticas que involucren el movimiento, tales como la música,  el arte y las actividades lúdicas. Dichos casos llegan a la conclusión de que el practicar este tipo de actividades genera una mayor riqueza del lenguaje, un mejor pensamiento visual, una mejor resolución de problemas, un aumento en la creatividad, entre otros. Además hace hincapié en una actividad en particular: el girar. Esta actividad física fomenta el estado de alerta, la atención y la relajación en el aula, por lo cual es importante dar tiempos dentro de la clase para realizar actividades que permitan el movimiento, ya que, además disminuye el estrés y mejora el funcionamiento del sistema inmunitario y la mayoría de los niños disfruta el juego, por lo que aparte de ser beneficioso para su salud y aprendizaje, se sienten bien al hacerlo, lo cual por otra parte estimula sus centros de placer en el sistema emocional, lo que finalmente hace que se mantengan motivados por aprender.

Finalmente el autor señala que dadas las investigaciones actuales se establece un vínculo importante entre el movimiento y el aprendizaje para lo cual sugiere algunas actividades que incluyen el movimiento dentro de la sala de clases, tales como: estiramientos, paseos, danza, teatro, interpretación educación física, juegos de rol, etc. Todos con el fin de hacer más lúdicas las clases y también de potenciar las actividades cognitivas mediante el movimiento. Por ultimo señala la importancia de concederle un rol importante a estas actividades dentro del aula, ya que se ha probado que no son banales ni accesorias y es tiempo de que los educadores asuman esta realidad.

Breve comentario:

El capítulo permite comprender que la actividad física es muy importante para el desarrollo de los niños, lo que implica un giro en los métodos prácticos de la enseñanza. Al respecto creo que es un gran paso a la hora de hablar de inclusión, ya que actividades de esta índole fomentan el compañerismo, estimulan a los niños dentro de la sala de clases, potencian y posibilitan sus habilidades y contribuyen al bienestar en términos físicos, pero también emocionales. Por lo que es un desafío que hay que tomar en cuenta a la hora de hacer cambios en el funcionamiento del sistema educativo dentro de la sala de clases.

Citas textuales:

“La parte del cerebro que procesa el movimiento es la misma que procesa el aprendizaje” (p .119)

“Los niños que participan en educación física diariamente muestran una mejora motriz, un mejor rendimiento académico y una actitud más favorable hacia la escuela, respecto de sus compañeros que no hacen ejercicio físico todos los días” (Pollatschek y Hagen, 1996, p. 2, en Jensen 2005 p. 122)

“Un intenso currículo en artes es el núcleo creativo de la excelencia académica y no una mayor disciplina, niveles más altos o leer, escribir y contar” (Kearney 1996 en Jensen 2005, p. 124)

“Las artes y las actividades deportivas no son banalidades. Son formas importantes de pensamiento y modos acertados de comunicarse con el mundo. Merecen una parte  mayor y no menor, de tiempo y de presupuestos para su enseñanza” (Hannaford" 1195 p. 88, en Jensen 2005, p. 126)

“La educación en las artes facilita el desarrollo del lenguaje, mejora la creatividad, refuerza la disposición a la lectura, ayuda al desarrollo social y éxito académico general y fomenta las actitudes positivas hacia la escuela” (Weiberger 1995 p. 6, en Jensen 2005 p. 127)
