在美国“奋进”号航天飞机成功完成与国际空间站的对接后，11位宇航员在安装新仓的间隙举办了一场“太空冬奥会”，而价值1000亿美元的空间站就是他们的运动场地。不过，跟正在进行中的温哥华冬奥会不同的是，他们的比赛场地没有冰，也没有雪，花样滑冰、滑雪等比赛项目全部都是在太空零重力的环境下完成的。宇航员们还将他们比赛的视频发送到地面指挥中心，并表示一直都在关注温哥华冬奥会。[文章版权 禁止转载:考试与评价 http://www.trgroup.com.cn/te/ A%$ ` E&v%X5UkFroG]

They don't have snow or ice, but an international team of astronauts held their own weightless Winter Olympics this week. Their venue: a $100 billion space station.

The 11 astronauts aboard the linked shuttle Endeavour and International Space Station (ISS) tried their hand at several space Winter Olympics events this week during breaks from adding a new room and observation deck to the outpost.

Their events? Space skiing, the zero-G luge and a graceful weightless figure skating. The crew beamed some space sports video of their antics to Mission Control.

Japanese astronaut Soichi Noguchi, a space station resident, even donned a pair of short space skis for his slalom and jump events.

"I did send out my ski jump on ISS," Noguchi told reporters in Japan late Thursday.

Endeavour shuttle pilot Terry Virts took a shot at the luge, floating down a space station module feet first. His crewmate Kathryn "Kay" Hire twirled endlessly in what the spaceflyers called the ultimate "figure skating triple-lindys."

Virts said he and his crewmates have enjoyed looking down at Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada, where the 2010 Winter Olympic Games are in full swing.

"We've been having some really nice night passes over the Olympics," Virts radioed Mission Control early Friday.

They also squeezed in some zero gravity diving — basically somersaulting while floating in place — though admittedly they should probably save that for the Summer Olympics, the astronauts said.

And like the Olympics, the shuttle and station astronauts even have a special emblem. But instead of five interlocked rings, they have mission patches emblazoned on their space clothes and equipment.
