I'll Be Hella Impressed If You Can Name 8 Of The 15 Winter Olympics Sports

Name The 2022 Winter Olympics Sports Quiz

There Are 15 Sports In The Winter Olympics, But I Bet You Can't Name 8

An athlete in a sparkly uniform performing a choreographed routine on ice

Not only has figure skating been a sport in every Winter Olympics, but it was also a sport in two SUMMER Olympics, in 1908 and 1920.

It's figure skating!

Which sport is this?

An athlete pushing a circular weight on ice while holding a broom

Fun fact: Curling was in the inaugural 1924 Winter Olympics but didn't appear again as an official sport until 1998 in Nagano, Japan.

It's curling!

An athlete in midair doing a halfpipe trick on a board

Snowboarding has been an Olympic sport since 1998.

It's snowboarding!

Four athletes racing on an ice track wearing skates

Technically, speedskating and short track speedskating are two separate sports, but it'd be hard to tell them apart from a single photo, so you get credit for BOTH if you got this right.

It's speedskating!

An athlete wearing ice skates and pads and holding a stick attempting to put a puck in a net past a goalie

Ice hockey has been a sport at every Winter Olympics and was even a sport at one Summer Olympics in 1920!

It's ice hockey!

Two athletes seated in a large sled going down an icy downhill course

Also known as bobsledding, this sport was in every Winter Olympics except for 1960, when the committee in Squaw Valley, California, decided not to build the course in order to reduce expenses.

It's bobsleigh!

A skiier going downhill and making a sharp turn around a gate

Also known colloquially as downhill skiing, this sport has been part of the Winter Olympics since 1936. That means it wasn't a sport for the first three Winter Olympics!

It's Alpine skiing!

From here on in, due to ambiguity or difficulty, you'll have multiple choice options. Which sport is this?

This sport originated as a military exercise in Scandinavia and involves shooting at targets in between cross-country ski races.

It's the biathlon!

An athlete on skis racing along flat ground

This sport, which is basically a race on flat(ish) ground on skis, has been a sport since the first Winter Olympics in 1924. Norway has won the most medals in this sport of any country.

It's cross-country skiing!

An athlete on long, wide skis in midair during a big jump

Ski jumping has been a sport since the first Winter Olympics, but it wasn't until the 2014 Games in Sochi, Russia, that a women's division was included in the games.

It's ski jumping!

A ski jumper in mid-jump and a cross-country skier on the course

You race in a cross-country skiing event, and then you do a ski jump. It's all about those ski skills.

It's Nordic combined!

Now, if you combine those two — ski jumping and cross-country skiing — that makes its own sport. What sport is it?

An athlete lying facedown on a board and sliding down an ice track headfirst

Skeleton was only featured twice before taking a long break and then becoming an Olympic sport again in 2002. It involved going down an ice track headfirst on a small sled while lying belly-down.

It's skeleton!

An athlete racing down an ice track on a small sled feet-first

Luge is distinctive from skeleton because the athletes go down the course feetfirst, and their sleds have a different shape.

It's luge!

Which sport is this? Notice it's slightly different from the last one...

An athlete in midair doing a trick on short skis

There are a bunch of different freestyle skiing events, including slopestyle, halfpipe, moguls, and more.

It's freestyle skiing!

And finally, which sport is this?

Looks like you need to watch more Olympics! Of course, maybe you already watch a ton, but you only watch one or two sports. I get it; I love figure skating too.

Not bad at all! You definitely have a wide knowledge of Winter Olympics sports, but there might have been one or two of the obscure ones that you missed.

Well done! You really know your stuff. I think it's safe to call yourself an Olympics expert!

Can you name all six of the freestyle skiing events in one minute?

You got $score out of $total! Share your score or try again!

Can you name every current event in figure skating in two minutes?

Can you name all the snowboarding events in two minutes?

And finally, can you name all the Alpine skiing events in two minutes?
