Excited to kick off 2024 with my third collaborative publication! 🌷 Embracing the spirit of Hurston's words: "Research is formalised curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose." Diving into the world of academia, I'm starting to find my rhythm as a researcher, and it feels like the perfect place to be. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dpfatEBa

How does my arena surface affect the soundness of my horse? 🤔 When measuring the impact of a surface on the horse's footfall, we look at three separate movements within a stride - the landing, loading, and push-off. 🚀 An ideal surface supports the horse's limbs throughout all of these phases! Providing a mixture of firmness, cushioning, and rebound to accomplish shock-absorbency for the landing, support during the loading, and a return of energy for the push-off. Frequently levelling your arena is vital for supporting these phases, providing an even, supportive surface with every stride. 🐎 https://lnkd.in/e8R2bCa3 #arenamaintenance #menage #arenasurface #levelling #levellingequipment #arenamate

Brazilian Olympian Gabriel Medina is one of the worlds top surfing athletes and his form coming out of this monumental, life-threatening wave, and challenge of a lifetime, will forever stay etched in my mind as an image to aspire to. Takeaways? Keep cool no matter how big the wave is, stay focused, be at one with the flow, have poise, and practice, practice, practice. Also, gravity can be defied?? 🌊 #Olympics #Surfing #Success #Inspiration https://lnkd.in/e-PFSugv

Lots of water in the canal Water once again played a major role in today's skeleton race in VELTINS-EisArena Winterberg. Good gliding is achieved when there is a super-thin film of water between the runner and the ice. We are talking about a few 10 nanometers here. However, if there is too much water in the track today at +7°C and rain, it can be dangerous, especially on the straights. As the runners are curved, the excess water gets into the wedge gap between the runner and the ice, which creates and uplifting force. In tribological terms, this condition is called hydrodynamics, which, when fully developed, separates the runner from the ice through the water film. In terms of friction, this is not bad. What is more difficult, however, is the controllability of the sled.
