For many decades, Olympic Games included "demonstration sports." Some, like curling, became part of the permanent roster. But others, like skijoring, didn't stick around.

Inspired by the popular “NFL Red Zone,” NBC’s “Gold Zone” will deliver live, whip-around coverage of key events as they unfold during the Winter Games.

The Winter Olympics is our chance to check out sports that only appear on our radar every four years, the majority of which are only popular in Europe. It’s just the nature of the beast, and part of what makes the games so amazing.
