Ice hockey and curling
Ice hockey and curling don't seem to be quite the same as other Winter Olympic sports. The goal of most ice/snow sports are to do one thing and do it better than others. Just like encountering a bear in the wild, as long as you out run the others, you are the winner in life.
Not so with ice hockey and curling. First, ice hockey is like moving the battlefield to the ice. Both sides are holding spears, attacking and defending as well. They try to excel in strength and speed to beat each other. And what about curling? Don't look at the gentleness of the two sides, they don't contact each other, but all the do is that rack their brains to hurt the other, like shooting each other with arrows in the dark. If you want to win, you have to hurt others and benefit yourself. If I will survive, then you won’t.
冰球和冰壶
冰球和冰壶好象和其它冬奥会竞技项目不大相同。大多冰雪竞技的目标是做一件事并只求比别人做得好。就象在野外遇到熊，只要比别人跑得快，你就是人生赢家。
而冰球和冰壶则不然。首先，冰球就象是把战场搬到冰上。双方手持兵刃，亦攻亦防，力量与速度的真刀真枪，毫不相让。而冰壶呢？别看双方文质彬彬，互不接触，那绞尽脑汁的暗箭互伤。要想赢不免要损人利己，我存你亡。
