Winter sports have been around for a long time, starting in places with lots of snow and ice. People in cold regions like Europe, North America, and the mountains of Asia came up with fun ways to enjoy winter, from skiing down hills to skating on frozen lakes. Over time, these sports became competitions, like the Winter Olympics, where athletes from all over the world show their amazing skills.

I’ve shared pictures of cute animals enjoying winter sports as a fun quiz on Twitter/X. Check them out and see how many sports you can name!

Thank you for playing the #AnipalHB #Nipclub Winter Sports Quiz. Stay warm and have fun!
