Abstract:
Motivation, curiosity, as well as engagement and work in skiing led the authors to present the results of such analysis to the readers and the professional public, which could be important for practice. The paper analyzes the average age of professional alpine skiers who won medals at the World Cups, World Championships and Olympic Games in the 2015-2018 Olympic cycle, ie. from the 2014/2015 to 2017/2018 season. The following alpine events were analyzed: Slalom (SL), Giant Slalom (GS), Super G (SG), Downhill (DH) and Alpine Combined (AC). The aim of this paper was viewed through the causal relationships average age of athlete on the podium by seasons and events in which they performed. The basic descriptive statistics were applied, which, based on the calculated arithmetic mean and medians, indicated the average higher age of athletes in speed events (SG and DH) compared to technical ones (SL, GS), as well as the fact that the athletes' skiing career was prolonged. The age of athletes in the 2017/2018 is higher than in the 2014/2015 season for speed (DH, SG, AC) and 2016/2017 than 2014/2015 for tech (SL, GS).
