Quiz: Engineers at the Winter Games
Test your knowledge about engineer-athletes competing at the highest level of sport.
The mindset necessary to study engineering lends itself well to competitive sports, from the NCAA to the NFL. We’ve profiled many such athletes, including a group of eight engineers who competed at the 2024 Paris Olympics, and even taken a closer look at the engineering necessary to create Olympic sports equipment, plus some of the equipment that makes several Paralympic sports possible.
As the 2026 Winter Olympic Games begin today in Milano Cortina, Italy, there are once again engineers who are set to compete, this time on the slopes, rinks, and snow. See what you know about this group of athletes with this ASME quiz.
