How much cold knowledge do you know about the Winter Olympics and how much do you understand?

1, who was the first to propose a bid to host the Winter Olympics? That's right, or him! The father of the modern Olympics, Coubertin. in the early 20th century, with the growing popularity of ice sports, figure skating and ice hockey were included in the Summer Olympic Games competition events, loved by the audience. However, as most of the Summer Olympics events were held in August, figure skating and ice hockey had to be held earlier in April, which made it necessary to hold a Summer Olympics for nearly half a year. In view of this, Coubertin suggested that a separate Winter Olympics be organized, and in 1924 the first Winter Olympics were successfully held.

2. The story of the Winter Olympics was made into a movie. Jamaica is a tropical rainforest climate, never snow. Such a climate environment naturally makes Jamaica and the Winter Olympics is not much of a destiny, but four Jamaican youth with Olympic dreams after unremitting efforts but formed a snow team, and successfully mounted the 1988 Winter Olympics. Although they finished last in the competition, their spirit of not giving up proved the Olympic Charter that "every individual should enjoy the possibility of practicing sports". 1993, the story of these four people was adapted by Disney into an inspirational movie "Lightning on Ice".

3, the first Olympic and Winter Olympic double champion. The first person to win the Olympic Games, Winter Olympics double champion is the American athlete Eagan Edward, who won the gold medal in boxing 175 pounds in the 1920 Antwerp Olympics, 12 years later in the 1932 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid won the gold medal in the men's four-person snowmobile, but also so far is the only athlete to reach this achievement.

4. The last Winter Olympics to be held in the same year as the Olympic Games. 1986, the IOC Plenary Session decided to separate the Winter Olympics and the Olympic Games from 1994 onwards, holding them at two-year intervals, making the 16th Winter Olympics in Albertville, France, in 1992 the last Winter Olympics to be held in the same year as the Olympic Games. Only 18 of the 57 events were held locally in Albertville, with the rest of the games taking place in 13 venues spread across the Olympic Park, 1000km southeast of Albertville, making it the most decentralized Winter Olympics ever.
