Appearances
One is the correct answer.
They are synchronized speed skating, where two athletes have to race around a track as fast as they can while staying in lockstep.
Ski mountaineering, in which athletes ski and run uphill, then race back down to the bottom.
Or luge biathlon, where two-person teams have to hit targets with their rifles while on a fast-moving sled.
So that's synchronized speed skating, ski mountaineering, or luge biathlon.
The answer is ski mountaineering or ski-mo, luckily, because luge biathlon is a terrible idea.
And last question.
There are a handful of countries that traditionally dominate the Winter Olympics.
No surprise, they are countries with snow.
Can you name the top three countries that have won the most medals at the Winter Games ever?
The answer, in third place, Germany.
In second, it's the U.S.
And the country with the most Olympic winter medals, more than 400 of them, is Norway.
Norway, though, is going into this year's Olympics a little tarnished.
Some of the staff members of the country's ski jumping team were caught on video manipulating the suits their athletes wore during a recent competition.
Basically, they made the area between the legs of the skin-tight outfits larger to give the ski jumpers a little extra lift when they sail off the end of that huge ramp.
The scandal has become known as Crotchgate.
That is it for this week's news quiz.
I'm Tracey Mumford, currently with zero Olympic medals.
The headlines will be back on Monday.
