Fun Facts about the Olympics Curling is one of four winter Olympic sports contested indoors. The other three are hockey, figure skating and speed skating. German luge master Georg Hackl will attempt to add to his legend and win a medal in his sixth straight games at Turin. Hackl is already the only athlete to medal in the same event in five straight games. Nordic combined is one of three current Olympic Winter Games events in which the United States has never won a medal. Biathlon and curling are the others. Ice hockey made its Olympic debut at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp, Belgium. The first Winter Olympics did not take place until 1924. American skier and Turin gold medal threat, Lindsey Kildow, was awarded a cow by some local dairy farmers for her World Cup win in Val D’lsere France in 2005. She had a choice between the cow or an additional $1,200 in prize money. She went with the cow. It has been 18 years since the Jamaican bobsled team made its debut at the Olympics.
