The Winter Olympics are almost here! What are you most excited for? We've compiled a list of some of the most memorable moments from Winter Olympics past. Do you remember any of them?

  • Jamaica entered a four man bob sledding team in 1988 at the Calgary Olympics. During one race, they crashed, but carried their sled to the finish line. That's true heart! 
  • Figure skater Nancy Kerrigan's knee cap was purposely smashed by an apponant's partner. She ended up still being able to compete in the Olympic games, and won second place. 
  •  The 4x10km relay in 1994 ... Bjorn Daehlie of Norway and Silvio Fauner of Italy, the anchor-leg skiers, were separated by the little more than the length of a ski as they crossed the finish line. Silvio Fauner ended with the Gold Medal. 
  • Steven Bradbury couldn't keep pace with his rivals in the 1,000m race at the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City, but when they all crashed ahead of him on the final bend Bradbury claimed the gold medal. 
  • The US team, comprising amateur and collegiate players, beat the favourites, the USSR, 4-3 and went on to win gold at Lake Placid in 1980
