The four most popular sports in Canada

Canadians like sports, and almost all sports are popular, but if you only choose four, it should be: ice hockey, curling, skating and skinning.

1, hockey hockey

Ice hockey is a collective competitive sport with skates and hockey sticks as tools. It consists of men's and women's events, and it is an independent winter sport in international sports taxonomy. The important international organizations of ice hockey are the National Ice Hockey League and the International Ice Hockey Federation.

2. Curling

Curling, also known as curling and curling, is a throwing competition on the ice with a team as the unit. It is a Winter Olympics competition and has a curling world champion. There are two events for men and women, with four people in each team. Curling is round and made of natural granite in Scotland, without mica.

Step 3 skate

Skating, also known as "skating", many people think that skating is a "foreign thing" from abroad. In fact, as early as the Song Dynasty, there was skating in China, but it was not called skating at that time, it was called "skating". Skating includes speed skating, figure skating and ice acrobatics.

Step 4 peel

Skiing is a competitive sport. Athletes put their skis under their boots and accelerate, jump and slide in the snow. Snowboards are made of wood, metal and plastic. Alpine skiing includes downhill, slalom and slalom (slalom). People slide on the snow in a standing position, with ski pole in their hands and skis on their feet. "Standing", "board", "snow" and "sliding" are the key elements of skiing.
