French was first used in Beijing Winter Olympics. The broadcast language of the opening ceremony of Beijing Winter Olympics is French first, then English, and finally Chinese, because both English and French are official languages of the International Olympic Committee, but French takes precedence over English. Coubertin, a Frenchman, first proposed the establishment of the Olympic Games, and the International Olympic Committee was originally established at Sorbonne University in Paris. French naturally became the first official language of the Olympic Games.

The Origin of French First in Winter Olympics

This is because France has become the center of reviving the modern Olympic Games and successfully hosted the first Winter Olympics. At the same time, in order to commemorate the French, Coubertin, the father of modern Olympics, wrote French as the first language of the Olympic Games into the Olympic Charter, which is also the first broadcasting language. And not only French is the first language of this Beijing Winter Olympics, but also French is the first language of every Winter Olympics.
