I know a bunch of people who go to Japan regularly for skiing/snowboarding. It's a fairly popular sport with Australians, but generally at a much lower level of seriousness than we're likely to take summer sports.

And of course, Steven Bradbury is an absolute legend for his 2002 Olympic Gold in speed skating.

Yea I can imagine! Still, I was impressed by the size of the Australian team during the opening ceremonies and the country has been doing pretty well at the medals so far :)

Yeah, this is already Australia's best performance at the Winter Olympics so far, with 3 golds. Passing our previous best, 2010's 2 golds.
