What events are there in the Winter Olympics?

Winter Olympics events include figure skating, speed skating, short track speed skating, ice hockey and curling.

1. Short track speed skating means that all the contestants stand on the same starting line with skates at a certain distance from the starting point and the finishing point indoors. The first round of competition is usually decided by drawing lots, and the subsequent competitions are arranged according to the results, and the best results are stuck in the inner circle.

2. Actually, speed skating is mainly about comparing speed. Within a certain distance, we can see who can reach the finish line fastest. According to the distance, speed skating is divided into four events: short distance, middle distance, long distance and all-around.

3. Figure skating is a skating performance performed on the field by athletes wearing skates based on technical movements, and then scored by the referee, and finally ranked.

Ice hockey is a combination of skating and hockey, that is, athletes wear skates and slide on the ice with popsicles to hit the ball and enter the goal. Whoever scores more points wins.

Curling is a skill sport with high IQ and elegance. Also called curling. It depends on which team's curling is far from the center of the circle. Athletes wear special curling shoes and need special skaters during this period. Brushing ice is to reduce the friction between curling and ice, and make it slide farther and closer to the destination.
