How often are the Winter Olympic Games held?

From 1924 to 20 1 8, it has been held for 23 times, once every four years. 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.

Development of Winter Olympics

The International Olympic Committee refused to accept nordic combined and added ice hockey. After joining the Olympic Games, figure skating and ice hockey attracted great interest from the audience. However, due to the weather conditions, the organizers feel inconvenient. Although both events were held in April in advance, most competitions and the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games were held in mid-August.

This makes an Olympic Games as long as five months, and the cost of manpower and material resources is too high. In view of this, people tend to separate the ice and snow events from the Olympic Games and hold them separately.
