The stones weigh 19 kg, and the center of the target is only 30 cm (11 inches) across. In curling, teams use brooms and a “slider” and “gripper” shoe to strategically maneuver “stones” toward a target in the team’s goal end. CurlingĬurling is one of the more unique - and probably most odd-looking - sports to grace the Winter Olympics. The course for the 2022 Olympics is 1,615 m (about a mile), with 16 curves and a maximum gradient of 18%. In luge, athletes compete in single, double, or relay, and race around a track at speeds of 120-145 kph. Luge is one of the three sliding sports in the Olympics (similar to bobsled). Snowboard big air (along with freeski big air) will be held at Big Air Shougang, the world’s first permanent Olympic venue for big air, built on a former steel mill site (with a standing height over 60 m). Over 230 snowboarders will compete at the 2022 Winter Olympics. Snowboarders compete in big air, slopestyle, snowboard cross (new this year), and halfpipe.

Freestyle ski covers big air (new this year), slopestyle, halfpipe, ski cross, and aerials. The alpine ski discipline includes downhill, giant slalom, super-G, moguls, and parallel slalom. The rest of the Olympic venues are indoors or on artificial snow. Interestingly, the freestyle skiing, snowboarding, and alpine skiing events are the only ones held on real snow outdoors. Men’s events include sprint, 10km, 15km, and 50km distances women compete in sprint, 5km, 10km, and 30km distances. Both men and women compete in individual and relay formats.
