Why does the climate have a great influence on sailing competition?
The start time of this event depends on the weather. There is no world record, and there is no specific start time. When to start depends on the weather. Do you know what such a wonderful Olympic event is? Yes, it's a sailboat. When the sailing competition will start, we have to wait for the referee and decide according to the meteorological data provided by the meteorological support team. It can be said that sailing is the most demanding sport for meteorological conditions. Sailing boats are driven by the wind, so the wind is too weak to race.
For example, in the 11th National Games in 29, the medal round competition of sailing and windsurfing failed to meet the competition requirements because the wind was too weak, so all the medal round competitions of eight events were cancelled, and the ranking after the previous day's competition was the final result. However, it doesn't mean that you can compete with the wind, and you can't compete when the wind is too strong, the fog is too thick, and the tidal range has changed, which may affect the personal safety of athletes. The sailing competition of the first Olympic Games in 1896 was cancelled because of the bad weather conditions. In a word, sailing is a project that moves with the wind. Only when there is wind can gong. If there is no wind, you have to wait. If the wind is too strong or too small, you have to cancel the race.
as the saying goes, sailing boats can only go out to sea if they rely on mountains and seas to eat the sea. As one of the Olympic Games events closely related to meteorology, sailing has very strict requirements on meteorological conditions, not only when the wind is strong, but also when it is small. Only the wind keeps between 3 and 2 meters per second, the wind swings less than 5 degrees, and the visibility exceeds 15 meters. Only when the three conditions are met at the same time can the game be played. Although very picky about meteorological conditions.
For example, Britain and Norway are the big gold medals in sailing competitions, including the temperate maritime climate countries in which these two countries participated, with a total of 11 gold medals, accounting for more than half of the total gold medals. Why do countries with temperate maritime climate get good results in sailing competitions? Think about it. It is controlled by the west wind all year round, which is mild and humid, warm in winter and cool in summer. The average temperature in Leng Yue is above zero, while it is below 22 degrees in the hottest month. Appropriate wind and comfortable temperature conditions are just like tailor-made for sailing training. ?
