What is the origin of the Winter Olympics?

Introduction to the origin of the Winter Olympics: With the increasing popularity of ice and snow sports in Europe and the United States at the end of 19 and the beginning of the 20th century, Coubertin, the "father of the Olympics", proposed to the International Olympic Committee to hold the Winter Olympics alone, and the 1924 Winter Olympics was formally formed.

The Winter Olympics, referred to as Winter Olympics, is mainly held around the world and is the largest comprehensive winter sports meeting in the world.

The countries participating in the Winter Olympics are mainly distributed all over the world, including Europe, Africa, America, Asia and Oceania, and are sponsored by the International Olympic Committee.

When will the Winter Olympics be held?

Originally, the Winter Olympic Games was held every four years, and it was held in the same country as the Summer Olympic Games. Since the second Winter Olympics in 1928, the venues of the Winter Olympics and the Summer Olympics have been changed to different countries.

Starting from 1994, the Winter Olympics and the Summer Olympics are held alternately, with an interval of two years. Because the time of the Winter Olympics and the Summer Olympics are staggered, only 1992 Winter Olympics and 1994 Winter Olympics are separated by two years.
