We’re going to get crazy!
The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics officially kicked off with the Opening Ceremony on Friday, Feb. 4, a.k.a. This is the beginning of your quadrennial obsession with figure skating and skiing for two weeks. Do you not just love the fresh scent of snow on your sofa?
These three sports are the most popular at the Beijing Games. But they’re not the only ones you can see Team USA competing in. And some of the other offerings sound so random that you might just want to tune in to see what exactly they are like the biathlon, which requires an athlete to shoot a rifle—on skis. It’s impossible to even get down the bunny hill.
You might also be interested to know that in the past Games, athletes participated in tug-of-war and ballooning. Yes, It is really.
