Skiing is a mode of transport, recreational activity and competitive winter sport in which the participant uses skis to glide on snow. Many types of competitive skiing events are recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), and the International Ski Federation (FIS).
Skiing has a history of almost five millennia. Although modern skiing has evolved from beginnings in Scandinavia, it may have been practiced as early as 600 BC in what is now China.
The word "ski" is one of a handful of words Norway has exported to the international community. It comes from the Old Norse word "skíð" which means "split piece of wood or firewood".
Asymmetrical skis were used at least in northern Finland and Sweden up until the late 19th century. On one leg the skier wore a long straight non-arching ski for sliding, and on the other a shorter ski for kicking. The bottom of the short ski was either plain or covered with animal skin to aid this use, while the long ski supporting the weight of the skier was treated with animal fat in similar manner to modern ski waxing.
É nítido, direto e inquietante
Eu diria totalmente extravagante
Nosso amor é agressivo no seu ímpeto lascivo
De amizade escarnada no desejo
Não tem calma o forte sim da tua presença
Fecundando minha mente e o fundo desse poço
Onde me jogo simplesmente por esporte boêmio
Mas é tão sério e maluco, tá por um fio de tensão
No universo das paixões
Amor assim é supernova
Certeiro na veia da carne
Da alma, na carne d'alma
Nosso amor é agressivo no seu ímpeto lascivo
De amizade escarnada no desejo
Obtém aquele máximo poder de um casal
Que é só mesmo destino de um pro outro
No universo das paixões
Amor assim é supernova
Certeiro na veia da carne
Da alma, na carne d'alma
