Will there ever be more team sports in the Wnter Olympics?
March 72010
I do not like the idea that hockey is the only team sport in the winter olympics, compared to how many team sports are in the summer olympics like Basketball, Volleyball, Soccer, etc.
Curling is a team sport in the Winter Olympics.
The only other team sport played on snow or ice, the IOC definition of a winter sport, is bandy. This is essentially field hockey on ice – soccer field sized rink, eleven players per side, uses a ball instead of a puck. This sport isn’t played enough globally to be considered.
