In the men's ski jumping event Simon Ammann of Switzerland won the large hill event in the 2010 Olympic games in Vancouver 2010. He is determined to take over the world record held by Bjorn Einer Romoren of Norway. If the world record is 239 meters and Ammann has only reached 144 meters, how much farther must he sore to beat the record by at least .1 meter?
We are the Olympic Mathletes! There are just too many cool ways to connect math to our favorite event in the entire world! So we decided to make a blog post with all the examples of math we do when we're watching the Olympics every two years!!!
Will you be ready for 2012!? Try our problems out and see if you can qualify to become an OLYMPIC MATHLETE!!!!
