Figure skating is a sport in which individuals, duos, or groups perform on figure skates on ice. Non-Olympic disciplines include synchronized skating and four skating. The International Skating Union (ISU) regulates international figure skating judging and competitions.
The four Olympic disciplines are men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating and ice dancing. Figure skaters competing at the highest levels of international competition are not "professional" skaters. It was the first winter sport included in the Olympics, in 1908.

A winter sport or winter activity is a recreational activity or sport which is played during cold weather months. Indoor ice rinks with artificial ice allow ice skating and hockey to be played in hot climates.
Most such sports are variations of skiing, ice skating and sledding.
The Asian Winter Games is a multi-sport event held every four years for members of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) which features winter events. In the 2007 Asian Winter Games in Changchun, 27 out of the 45 members fielded a record number of competitors, while all 45 NOCs sent delegations for the first time ever in Winter Asian history. The Japanese Olympic Committee first suggested the idea of holding a winter version of the Asian Games in 1982.
The Winter Olympic Games (French: Jeux olympiques d'hiver ) is a major international sporting event that occurs once every four years. Unlike the Summer Olympics, the Winter Olympics feature sports practised on snow and ice. The first Winter Olympics, the 1924 Winter Olympics, was held in Chamonix, France. The original five sports (broken into nine disciplines) were bobsleigh, curling, ice hockey, Nordic skiing (consisting of the disciplines military patrol, cross-country skiing, Nordic combined, and ski jumping), and skating (consisting of the disciplines figure skating and speed skating). The Games were held every four years from 1924 until 1936, after which they were interrupted by World War II. The Olympics resumed in 1948 and was again held every four years. Until 1992, the Winter and Summer Olympic Games were held in the same years, but in accordance with a 1986 decision by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to place the Summer and Winter Games on separate four-year cycles in alternating even-numbered years, the next Winter Olympics after 1992 was in 1994.

The 2016 Summer Olympics included 28 sports, with five additional sports due to be added to the 2020 Summer Olympics. Olympic sports are sports contested in the Summer and Winter Olympic Games. The 2014 Winter Olympics included seven sports.
Each Olympic sport is represented by an international governing body, namely an International Federation (IF). Examples include swimming and water polo (disciplines of aquatics, represented by the International Swimming Federation), or figure skating and speed skating (disciplines of skating, represented by the International Skating Union).
Ice skating is the act of moving on ice by using ice skates. Ice skating occurs both on specially prepared ice surfaces (arenas, tracks, parks), both indoors and outdoors, as well as on naturally occurring bodies of frozen water, such as ponds, lakes and rivers. In the Netherlands, ice skating was considered proper for all classes of people, as shown in many pictures by the Old Masters.
An early contemporary reference to the club appeared in the second edition (1783) of the Encyclopædia Britannica:
From this description and others, it is apparent that the form of skating practiced by club members was indeed an early form of figure skating rather than speed skating. The first organised skating club was the Edinburgh Skating Club, formed in the 1740s, (some claim the club was established as early as 1642). The construction of modern ice skates has stayed largely the same since then.

The biathlon is a winter sport that combines cross-country skiing and rifle shooting. 20th century variants include Forsvarsrennet (the military contest) – a 17 km cross-country race with shooting, and the military cross-country race at 30 km including marksmanship. According to Encyclopædia Britannica, the biathlon "is rooted in the skiing traditions of Scandinavia, where early inhabitants revered the Norse god Ullr as both the ski god and the hunting god".
Norwegian skiing regiments organized military skiing contests in the 18th century, divided in four classes: shooting at mark while skiing at top speed, downhill race among trees, downhill race on big hills without falling, and a long race on flat ground while carrying rifle and military pack.
Types of speed skating are long track speed skating, short track speed skating, and marathon speed skating. Speed skating is a competitive form of ice skating in which the competitors race each other in travelling a certain distance on skates. The ISU, the governing body of both ice sports, refers to long track as "speed skating" and short track as "short track skating".
Among them are elimination races, where one or more competitors are eliminated at fixed points during the course; simple distance races, which may include preliminary knockout races; endurance races with time limits instead of a fixed distance; points races; and individual pursuits. In the Olympic Games, long-track speed skating is usually referred to as just "speed skating", while short-track speed skating is known as "short track".
Sapporo (札幌市 , Sapporo-shi, listen ) is the fourth largest city in Japan by population, and the largest city on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido. The city closely followed a grid plan with streets at right-angles to form city blocks. During 1870–1871, Kuroda Kiyotaka, vice-chairman of the Hokkaido Development Commission (Kaitaku-shi), approached the American government for assistance in developing the land.
Construction began around Odori Park, which still remains as a green ribbon of recreational land bisecting the central area of the city.
