As the 21st installment of the Winter Olympics arrives, we thought it would be fun to take a look at some of the sports that make the winter games what they are.
Now there’s plenty to know about the Olympics, and we could have quizzed you on the athletes, the history of the event, the host sites, or an endless count of other topics.
But aren’t the games themselves what we are really interested in? Does it really matter who’s doing the bobsledding, as long as there are cameras around and we can watch it on the television?
Are you concerned about where the ice arena that hosts figure skating is, or more worried about watching the athletes attempt a flawless performance?
