Question 1 of 7

In 1980, the USA men’s hockey team beat the Soviet Union in a victory dubbed the “Miracle on Ice.” Where was the game played?

In January 2026, Lake Placid hosted a life-size hologram recreation of key moments from the game called “Run Back the Miracle.”

Question 2 of 7

The 2026 Milano Cortina Games are the first Winter Olympics Italy has hosted.

Italy has previously hosted the Winter Olympics, in 1956 in Cortina d’Ampezzo and in 2006 in Turin.

Question 3 of 7

What was the age of the oldest athlete to ever compete in a Winter Olympics event?

According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Carl August Kronlund of Sweden is the oldest Winter Olympics athlete. He played in Sweden’s 1924 curling victory over France, earning a silver medal, making him also the oldest Winter Olympics medalist.

Question 4 of 7

The Jamaican bobsleigh team became Olympic darlings when their warm-weather nation competed in the icy winter sport. What year did the team make its debut?

Though the movie Cool Runnings, about the Jamaican team, was released in 1993, the team first competed in 1988.

Question 5 of 7

Snowboarding became an official Olympic sport in 1998, adding X Games flair to the usual lineup of sports. Which Japanese city hosted the games that year?

American athletes Ross Powers and Shannon Dunn-Downing each won bronze medals in the half-pipe events at Nagano.

Question 6 of 7

Biathlon is one of the staples of the Winter Olympics. What two activities does the sport involve?

Biathlon got its start from Scandinavian hunting traditions, where athletes would ski long distances and stop at shooting ranges to fire rifles at targets.

Question 7 of 7

You may not be an Olympic athlete, but you still can enjoy the wintry weather. Which of these ski resort activities is popular among people who don’t ski, according to AARP travel?

Any ski area, whether a full-service resort or a limited-frills ski mountain, is set up for non-skiing winter visitors. Snowfall and frigid temperatures don’t hinder off-ski activities. They can enhance them.

You have unanswered questions. Please go back and complete those questions to finish the quiz.
