The Winter Olympics are the Winter Olympics, and what we usually call the "Olympics" refers to the Summer Olympics. Like the Olympics, the Winter Olympics is also hosted by the International Olympic Committee and is a world winter sports event.

　　With the increasing popularity of ice and snow sports in Europe and the United States, Coubertin, the founder of the Modern Olympic Games, suggested that the Winter Olympics be held separately. This proposal became a reality by 1924. Before that, figure skating was added to the 4th Olympic Games in 1908, and ice hockey was added to the 7th Olympic Games in 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 Olympic organizers. In view of this, the need to separate the ice and snow events from the Olympics and to host the Winter Olympics separately has been increasing.

　　According to the information provided by the official website of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics Bid Committee, the first Winter Olympics was held in Chamonix, France in 1924. At that time, there were 16 participating delegations with 258 participants. The competition had 6 major events and 16 minor events. In the end, Norway ranked first on the medal list.
