		Skis are made of strips of shaped wood, metal, or synthetic material that can be attached to a specially designed ski boot; the hard resistant surface of the skis, maintained by application of special ski waxes, produces high speed in moving over packed snow.
		Ski width also varies, from 7 to 10 cm (3 to 4 in) in the front, tapering slightly inward in the middle and widening at the rear; the front tip of the ski curves upwards.
		Ski poles, commonly 1.2 to 1.5 m (4 to 5 ft) in length, are used for balance and to facilitate movement; they are made of light metal tubing, with handgrips and straps and a small disc at the bottom that allows a firm hold in the snow.

		The Olympics organization is headed by a president, elected by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) members for an initial period of eight years.

		The Olympics were of fundamental religious importance, contests alternating with sacrifices and ceremonies honouring both Zeus (whose colossal statue stood at Olympia), and Pelops, divine hero and mythical king of Olympia famous for his legendary chariot race, in whose honor the games were held.
		The number of competitors at the Winter Olympics is much smaller than at the summer edition; 2,400 athletes competed at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City in 78 events.
		The growth of the Olympics also means that some less popular (modern pentathlon) or expensive (white water canoeing) sports have to fear for their place on the Olympic programme.
