FAQs

Are figure skaters grouped under this Winter Sports athlete category?

No. Figure and speed skaters are grouped under Ice Skating Sports, since this category is reserved for snow-surface skiers.

This subcategory groups athletes who competed in alpine or Nordic skiing, the snow-surface skiing disciplines. Ice-surface winter sport athletes are excluded: ice hockey players are grouped under Hockey Codes, and figure and speed skaters are grouped under Ice Skating Sports.
