Winter Sports

Winter sports refer to a range of competitive and recreational activities that take place on snow or ice during the winter season. These sports typically include events such as skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, ice hockey, and biathlon, among others. Winter sports can be categorized into two main types: snow sports, which are performed on snow (like skiing and snowboarding), and ice sports, which are conducted on ice surfaces (such as figure skating and ice hockey). These activities not only involve athletic skill but often also require specific equipment and conditions, including cold temperatures and appropriate winter gear. Winter sports are popular at the recreational level, as well as in professional competitions, including the Winter Olympics, where athletes from around the world compete in various disciplines.
