Thousands of athletes representing more than 80 nations will compete in 15 winter sports that include alpine, cross-country and freestyle skiing, snowboarding, figure skating, speed skating and ice hockey at the XXII Olympic Winter Games, to be held Feb. 7-23 in Sochi, Russia. ASTM Committee F08 on Sports Equipment and Facilities includes Subcommittee F08.15 on Ice Hockey, a group that has developed important safety standards for helmets and eye and face protective equipment for hockey players and goaltenders. Subcommittee F08.53 on Headgear and Helmets has published standards for helmets used in speed ice skating and other recreational snow sports, while F08.57 provides standards for ski and snowboard goggles. F08.66 on Sports Facilities oversees standards that could be useful in preparing some game venues, including guides for ice hockey playing facilities and the layout of ice arenas. The Olympic Organizing Committee is committed to sustainability, and may want to look at ASTM's standards for green meetings and events, which focus on all facets of sustainable events planning and management. Not to be forgotten is Committee F27 on Snow Skiing, which has developed 15 standards that cover topics such as safe bindings and boots for both skis and snowboards, and is working on a proposed standard practice for freestyle terrain jumping. Best of luck to all of the athletes and organizers for a successful and safe 2014 Olympic Winter Games.
