Thorwartl&#8217;s work earned him second place in the Young Investigator Award. The prize was awarded by a jury of six professors from different universities among 33 young researchers. The published study &#8220;Beyond the Carving-Skidding Dichotomy: Sensor-assisted Measurement of Angle of Attack in Skiing&#8221; (Thorwartl, Sch\u00fctz, Holzer, Resch, 2025) significantly extends the current understanding of skiing dynamics. Until now, skiing has been roughly divided into carving and drifting, but Thorwartl&#8217;s sensor-based approach allows for a more precise and continuous analysis of skiing behavior. From the lab to the ski slope As part of the study, four inertial measurement units (IMUs) and a GNSS module were mounted on a ski. The tests were conducted [&hellip;]"}
