His first order of business after starting the job in 2011 was to develop a standardized system. For connecting the athletes sid skis to their actual skis. So that it was easier to change the planks as snow conditions. Previously, the connection system had just been horrible. I walked around the bed first World Cup like a spy he says. And I literally took a picture of every single athletes, Sid ski frame. He finished that project before the games in Sochi in 2014.

Printed "managing", the speaker says "connecting"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "connecting the athletes". They start with different letters, but end the same, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "ranks", the speaker says "planks"

Explanation: The speaker says "planks as snow conditions", not "ranks". The words start with different letters, so wait for the first sound.

Printed "of", the speaker says "as"

Explanation: Listen for "planks as snow conditions". The printed word "of" begins differently, so follow the small word you hear.

Printed "jumbled", the speaker says "horrible"

Explanation: You will hear "had just been horrible". They start with different letters, and the printed word makes no sense here.

Printed "pictoral", the speaker says "picture"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "took a picture of". The printed word begins with the same letter, so listen to the rest of the word.

Printed "flicked", the speaker says "finished"

Explanation: Listen again to "finished that project before". They start with the same letter and end the same, so listen to the middle.

"Sochi" matches the audio

Explanation: "the games in Sochi in 2014" has a place name that looks unfamiliar. It is spoken exactly as printed, so do not click it.

"sid" matches the audio

Explanation: "every single athletes, Sid ski frame" has a short word next to the change. It matches the audio exactly, so do not click it.
