Resumen del Recurso

Pregunta Respuesta
Biathlon Take the endurance test of cross-country skiing and shake it up every few kilometres by having athletes stop to shoot rifles at targets. Too many misses, and skiers must take a penalty lap.
Bobsled It consists of timed races down narrow, twisting, sloping and icy tracks on a gravity-powered sled. The four-rider sled, called a bobsled, bobsleigh or bob, carries two or four people.
Cross-Country Skiing Cross-Country skiing (part of the Nordic skiing family) is the endurance event of the Winter Olympics. In cross-country skiing, competitors use ski poles and strength to propel themselves across long (usually flat) distances.
Curling Two teams, each with four players, take turns sliding heavy, polished granite stones, also called rocks, across the ice curling sheet toward the house, a circular target marked on the ice.
Figure Skating Skaters, alone or in pairs, perform freestyle moves with jumps, spins, lifts and footwork in a graceful manner. There are several types of figure skating, such as freestyle, pairs, ice dance and synchronized team skating.
Freestyle Skiing Freestyle skiing is a skiing discipline comprising aerials, moguls, cross, half-pipe, slopestyle and big air. It can consist of a skier performing aerial flips and spins, and can include skiers sliding rails and boxes on their skis.
Ice Hockey Ice hockey is a contact sport played on ice skates on an ice skating rink with lines and markings specific to the sport. In ice hockey, two opposing teams use ice hockey sticks to control, advance and shoot a closed, vulcanized, rubber disc called a "puck" into the other team's goal.
Luge One or two athletes ride a flat sled in a supine (face up) position, feet first. The track is designed to descend slightly, so that gravity can pull the athlete and sled down the track.
Nordic Combined Athletes compete in cross-country skiing and ski jumping.
Skeleton Sport in which a person rides a small sled, known as a skeleton bobsled (or -sleigh), down a frozen track while lying face down and head-first.
Ski Jumping The aim of the competitors is to achieve the farthest jump after sliding on their skis from a specially designed curved ramp. Along with the length of the jump, the competitor's aerial style and other factors also affect the final score.
Snowboarding It involves descending a snow-covered slope standing on a snowboard that is almost always attached to the rider's feet.
Speedskating The competitors race each other in travelling a certain distance on skates. Types of speed skating are long track speed skating, short track speed skating, and marathon speed skating.
Alpine Skiing Competitors regularly reach speeds of up to 152 km/h (95mph), all while navigating a winding course full of sharp turns and soaring jumps. They're sliding down snow-covered slopes on skis with fixed-heel bindings.
