The origin of the Winter Olympic Games

The Winter Olympics is the Winter Olympics, and what we usually call "Olympic Games" refers to the Summer Olympics. The Winter Olympics, like the Olympic Games, is also sponsored by the International Olympic Committee and is a world-wide winter sports meeting.

With the increasing popularity of ice and snow sports in Europe and America, Coubertin, the founder of modern Olympic Games, suggested holding the Winter Olympic Games alone, and 1924 became a reality. Previously, figure skating joined the 4th Olympic Games on 1908 and ice hockey joined the 7th Olympic Games on 1920.

After figure skating and ice hockey joined the Olympic Games, they aroused great interest from the audience, but the weather conditions and other factors also brought a lot of inconvenience to the organizers of the Olympic Games. In view of this, the voice of separating the ice and snow events from the Olympic Games and holding the Winter Olympics alone is getting higher and higher.
