The difference between Winter Olympics and Olympic Games

The Winter Olympics also belongs to the Olympic Games, but over time we used to regard the Summer Olympics as the Olympic Games. When it comes to the Olympic Games, our first thought is the Summer Olympics. It is easy to know from the name that the Winter Olympics and the Olympic Games (Summer Olympics) were held at different times, but there are still many differences between them.

1, held in different seasons:

Summer Olympics: Summer Olympics will be held in summer;

Winter Olympics: The Winter Olympics is held in winter.

2. Different start times:

Summer Olympic Games: 1 The summer Olympic Games will start from 1896.

Winter Olympics: The Winter Olympics started at 1924.

3. Different projects:

There are many events in the Summer Olympic Games. There are 26 sports, which basically cover the most common sports, such as ball games, swimming, high jump and long jump. There are only five major events in the Winter Olympics, namely skiing, skating, sledding, ice hockey and curling, all related to ice and snow.

Summer Olympic Games: water sports, archery, track and field, badminton, baseball, basketball, golf, boxing, kayaking, cycling, equestrian, archery, fencing, football, gymnastics, handball, hockey, judo, modern pentathlon, rowing, sailing, shooting, softball, equestrian, table tennis, taekwondo, tennis, triathlon, etc.

Winter Olympics: skiing (alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, platform skiing, synchronized skiing, biathlon and skateboarding), sledding (luge, luge and steel frame sledding), skating (speed skating, short track speed skating and figure skating), curling and ice hockey.

4. Different impacts:

Affected by natural conditions, people in many tropical countries have never seen snow at all, so these countries have basically never participated in the Winter Olympics, but the summer Olympic Games are not greatly affected by natural conditions. Basically, all countries in the world have participated in the Summer Olympics, so the influence of the Summer Olympics is much higher than that of the Winter Olympics.

5. Different levels of attention:

Because the number of participants in the Winter Olympics is much lower than that in the Summer Olympics, and the events in the Winter Olympics are far less than that in the Summer Olympics, countries attach much more importance to the Summer Olympics than the Winter Olympics.

6, different levels of participation

Compared with the Summer Olympic Games, the competition form of the Winter Olympic Games needs all kinds of equipment and a lot of money, and the usual practice environment is more strict and harsh, so there are not as many participating countries as the Summer Olympic Games.
