The Winter Olympics is an international sporting event that takes place every four years and features a variety of winter sports. Two of the most popular items featured in the Winter Olympics are LUGE and SKI. LUGE is a sport where a person rides a small sled down a track of ice while lying on their back. Skiing is a sport where a person uses skis to travel over snow-covered terrain. Both LUGE and skiing are popular events in the Winter Olympics and have been featured since the first Winter Olympics in 1924.
