<\/i>Which word describes a rider falling but continuing the race?<\/a><\/h3>

Response: Case
\nA case can cost time and energy.

<\/i>What term is used for the team staff who help with equipment and herding?<\/a><\/h3>

Answer: Service team
\nService teams are responsible for skis and equipment.

<\/i>What word describes the grooved surface of the coating that adapts to snow?<\/a><\/h3>

Answer: Structure
\nStructure controls how water is channelled away under the ski.

<\/i>What expression is used when a rider is helped by someone outside the rules?<\/a><\/h3>

Answer: Unauthorised assistance
\nUnauthorised assistance is a violation of the competition rules.

<\/i>What word is used for the part of the race where skiers are allowed to change skis in certain formats?<\/a><\/h3>

Answer: Exchange zone
\nExchange zone is a marked place for equipment exchange.
\nIn competition formats with switching between techniques, the zone can be crucial, as a quick and correct switch saves time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>What term describes a race where you switch technologies halfway?<\/a><\/h3>

Answer: Skiathlon
\nSkiathlon is run with a change of technique mid-race.
\nFirst a section is ridden in classic and then freestyle, which requires planning of pace and a quick change in the zone.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>Which word describes when a rider loses grip and starts sliding uphill?<\/a><\/h3>

Answer: Ambush
\nAmbush makes the push-off ineffective.
\nThis is often due to the wrong tyre or snow cover, and can quickly cost time on climbs where grip is crucial.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i>What term is used when the snow gets wet and slows down the slide considerably?<\/a><\/h3>

Answer: Suction oars
\nSuction lining creates high friction under the ski.
\nWater film and snow structure make the ski \"stick\", and the right structure and waxing become extra important to maintain speed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
