No that's for practice on multi-storey car-parking station ramps when there is no ice.
Lots of those athletes live at or below the poverty line while chasing their Olympic dream.
Like when I watch the Van Cliburn piano competition where everyone competing are the best pianists in the world and blows my mind but some judge can hear a missed note.
That is how I played it the 1st time. I got sucked into the crowd at the bar on their way to play. I went along just to watch. Well, they were a few people short and the rest is history. I have a scar to prove it. 😉
As an old guy, curling has its attractions: it's the only sport I can get up and go take a pee and still not miss any of the action.
Then ski-jumping is for you - any steeply sloped roof facing a swimming pool will do to practice on.
I have a similar pic - 2 eagles k****d and ate a goose right on my frozen lake. Apparently they only do it in winter when food is scarce. Pic below since it will get hidden.

I had classmates who did that. They were so cool. They had an attendance exemption because they participated in international competitions. So they hardly showed up in class during the winter months. Either they were travelling to some ski slope, in training sessions or they were partying hard with their mates. All for the sake of winning some medals. One of these guys had a street in our small town named after him after he won the ski championship (I don't know which one). Of course all the girls in school were in love with them, but they were too aloof.

You get started in this sport by sledding with your younger sibling on your lap. 😁
That part of the opening ceremony was SO bad. It was a skit where her microphone wasn't working so she had to communicate by hand gestures. We get the stereotype, but it really wasn't funny.
One of the guys needed stitches in his face after he slipped and fell on the ice. Can't remember which country.
Nothing about the dog coming in third in the women's cross country skiing qualifier. He deserves the Bronze!
