===Recreation and sports=== {{Main|Ice sports}} [[File:SCENEONICE.jpg|thumb|''Skating fun'' by 17th century Dutch painter [[Hendrick Avercamp]]]] Ice plays a central role in winter recreation and in many sports such as [[ice skating]], [[tour skating]], [[ice hockey]], [[bandy]], [[ice fishing]], [[ice climbing]], [[curling]], [[broomball]] and sled racing on [[bobsled]], [[luge]] and [[Skeleton (sport)|skeleton]]. Many of the different sports played on ice get international attention every four years during the [[Winter Olympic Games]].<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Dichter |first1=Heather L. |last2=Teetzel |first2=Sarah |date=23 March 2021 |title=The Winter Olympics: A Century of Games on Ice and Snow |journal=The International Journal of the History of Sport |volume=37 |issue=13 |pages=1215β1235 |doi=10.1080/09523367.2020.1866474 }}</ref> Small boat-like craft can be mounted on blades and be driven across the ice by [[sails]]. This sport is known as [[ice yachting]], and it had been practiced for centuries.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://hvmag.com/things-to-do/explore-the-history-of-ice-yachting-in-the-hudson-valley/|title=Explore the History of Ice Yachting in the Hudson Valley|last=Levine|first=David|website=www.hvmag.com|date=19 November 2013 |language=en|access-date=April 14, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ice.idniyra.org/|title=IDNIYRA {{!}} International DN Ice Yacht Racing Association|date=December 27, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171227121944/https://ice.idniyra.org/|access-date=April 15, 2020|archive-date=December 27, 2017}}</ref> Another vehicular sport is [[ice racing]], where drivers must speed on lake ice, while also controlling the skid of their vehicle (similar in some ways to [[dirt track racing]]). The sport has even been modified for [[ice rink]]s.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.motortrend.com/features/112_0407_ice_racing/index.html|title=Racing Fast 'n' Cheap: Ice Racing |last=Markus |first=Frank |publisher=[[Motor Trend]] |access-date=2008-09-30 |archive-date=2011-06-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110604072725/http://www.motortrend.com/features/112_0407_ice_racing/index.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>
