They’re icy, they’re fast, and they involve people willingly hurtling downhill head-first at motorway speeds.
This is your Squiz Kids Shortcut to the Winter Olympics and Paralympics — the podcast where we explore the who, what, where, when, why and how behind one of the world’s biggest sporting events.
In this episode, Christie and Bryce head back to the very first Winter Olympics in 1924, before racing forward to the most spread-out Games ever, hosted across cities and mountains in Italy. Along the way, they explain the wild winter sports you’ll see on snow and ice, from skeleton and snowboarding to the brand-new Olympic sport of ski mountaineering — plus the Aussie athletes taking part.
Listen carefully — there’s a S’Quiz at the end! ❄️🏅
