Classification of snow and ice movement
Ice and snow sports also refer to ice sports, including skating, skiing and curling with the help of ice and snow and ice tools. On the basis of skating and skiing, other sports have been developed: speed skating, figure skating, ice hockey on snow, skating, short track speed skating, alpine skiing, freestyle skiing, cross-country skiing, nordic combined, platform skiing and so on.
The earliest human ice sports can be traced back to the Netherlands in the Neolithic Age. At that time, people used wooden sledges as a tool to transport goods on ice, and later replaced wood with wild animal bones. By tying polished horse bones to shoes and gliding with a cane, they gradually developed into the earliest skates.
In modern times, ice sports have become a special form of competition, mainly with the help of professional skates and other ice and snow equipment in natural or artificial ice rinks, and even independent Olympic Games. Although speed skiing is not officially included in the Winter Olympic Games, it is also a kind of ice and snow show that people usually like to enjoy.
Figure skating and ice dancing are the ice and snow sports that became official events in the first Olympic Games in 1924.
