  2. Bobsleigh winter sport in which a bobsled—a partially enclosed vehicle with steerable sled-like runners, accommodating two or four persons—hurtles down a course of iced, steeply banked, twisting inclines. A driver and three bobbers, the last one being the brakeman, compose a four-member crew. A two-person sled consists of a driver and the brakeman. http://youtu.be/S1fhLCs7A4A

  3. Curling played on an ice court by teams of four. Each player hurls a squat, circular stone—weighing 38 lbs., dished on bottom and top and having a top handle for the player's grip—at the tees, or fixed goals, which are placed 38 yds. apart. Around each tee a circle is drawn with a radius of 6 ft. Each player is provided with a crampit, or spiked metal plate, to get a foothold on the ice, and a broom to sweep the ice in front of the swerving stone. The players on both teams alternately send the stones toward one tee; the stones lying nearest the tee at the end of play count toward the score. The play is then made toward the opposite tee. http://youtu.be/CM5mFH3_Qhs

  4. Figure Skating Sport in which ice skaters, singly or in pairs, perform various jumps, spins, and footwork. The figure skate blade has a special serrated toe pick, or toe rake, at the front. http://youtu.be/H5pelOHTrdo

  5. Ice Hockey Game played on an ice rink by two teams of six players on skates. The object is to drive a puck (a small, hard rubber disk) into the opponents' goal with a hockey stick, thus scoring one point. A game consists of three 20-minute periods. http://youtu.be/OygmSwWfkBE

  6. Skeleton a type of small, very low, steel-frame sled, on which one person, lying face down, slides headfirst down snowy hillsides or down steeply banked, curving, iced chutes. Steering is accomplished by shifting weight or dragging the feet. http://youtu.be/A0XhTk-krAs

  7. Speed Skating Sport of racing on ice skates. Two types of track are used in international competition. The long track is about a one-quarter mile flattened oval (straight sides and curved ends) on which two skaters race simultaneously. In long track the race is against the clock rather than the opponent. The short track, a more recent development, is a 364-ft oval on which four to six skaters race during each heat. http://youtu.be/hR5XVlnxGjQ

  8. Luge a type of small sled on which one or two persons, lying face up, slide feet first down snowy hillsides or down steeply banked, curving, iced chutes. Steering is accomplished by shifting weight, pulling straps attached to the runners, or using the feet. http://youtu.be/Ainc8xl0ln4

  9. Alpine Skiing Class of competitive ski events consisting of speed events (the downhill and the supergiant slalom) and technical events (the slalom and giant slalom). Speed events are contested in single runs down longer, steeper, faster courses, with fewer turns than those featured in the technical events. http://youtu.be/TFnwPJxV_VA

  10. Snowboarding Sport of sliding downhill over snow on a snowboard, a wide ski ridden in a surfing position. http://youtu.be/OAfc-nj3bgM

  11. Biathlon sport in which cross-country skiers race across hilly terrain, occasionally stopping to shoot with rifles at sets of fixed targets. http://youtu.be/E0X10leXiBA

  12. Freestyle Skiing a form of skiing which originally encompassed two disciplines: aerials, and moguls. Besides those freestyle skiing now consists of ski cross, half-pipe and slope style. http://youtu.be/C-rZ5rfBtO8

  13. Cross Country Skiing participants propel themselves across snow-covered terrain using skis and poles. http://youtu.be/ax0XtXrd_Gg

  14. Ski Jumping a sport in which skiers go down a take-off ramp, jump and attempt to land as far as possible down the hill below. In addition to the length of the jump, judges give points for style. http://youtu.be/013m2BmrQLI

  15. Nordic Combined a winter sport in which athletes compete in both cross-country skiing and ski jumping. http://youtu.be/XPzgz4Kffuw

  16. Short Track a form of competitive ice skating similar to speed skating http://youtu.be/jd01B80vKKI
