Top 5 Winter Olympic Sports You've Never Heard of But Should Watch!

Tags: Olympics, winter, best
So the winter Olympics are here. Everyone knows about the figure skating and after Cool Runnings bobsledding. Well here are the top 5 winter Olympic sports most people have never heard of.
| 1. | Biathlon - The biathlon requires skiing combined with precision shooting. That's right, ski with your rifle and shoot a target. That is the sort of thing my mom told me to never do, and it's an Olympic sport! |
| 2. | Skeleton - the name is enough to make me want to watch! Imagine hopping on the fastest sled you can buy, climbing to the top of the tallest hill, then going down it.... Head First! I'm there. |
| 3. | Snowboarding - yeah, it really is an Olympic sport. Out of the shadows of Xgames and truely regognized as Olympians. Totally Dude! |
| 4. | Curling - think shuffle board on ice, with teams. Easy to watch and to score, anyone can enjoy and follow along. No opinion/scoring either you win or not, much easier than grading a jump and spin thing in figure skating. |
| 5. | Womens Hockey - Okay, most may have known it existed, what amazed me was the scoring. A typical mens hockey game is high scoring at 3 to 4. In womens we are talking in the tens and twenties. Eveyone loves a high scoring game. This is something to watch. |
