I am going to write my persuasive essay/ speech on the FIS ( International Ski Federation) ski regulations. For the season of 2011- 2012 FIS is going to have new ski minimum lengths and radius for all disciplines. I will be arguing against this.
Resolved: Increasing the length and radius of the ski for FIS racing will protect and make the sport safer.
FIS is making these changes because they think that it will slow done the racers and make the sport safer, but by making these changes it will ruin the sport. because the ski will have a bigger radius and be longer the coaches will set straighter courses which will not decrease the speed. And the racers will have a harder time turning the ski which may result in more crashes.
Top GS racer Ted Ligety is against this notion.
Naomi,
ReplyDeleteThis looks to be n interesting presentation. As we already discussed, I think it will be important for you to approach this as an informational, as well as a persuasive essay. You'll need to acquaint your reader with what is at stake in this issue before arguing for a new policy. Nonetheless, I look forward to hearing what you have to say!
THIS IS THE DUMBEST IDEA EVERRRRRR
ReplyDeleteI meant the fis regulations are dumb, not this topic. Brilliant topic
