Olympic Games (Greek: O? uurlakoi A? Four? c; French: Jeuxolympiques Chinese: The Olympic Games, referred to as the Olympic Games, is the largest comprehensive sports meeting in the world sponsored by the International Olympic Committee. Held once every four years, the duration shall not exceed 16 days. It is divided into Summer Olympics (Olympic Games), Winter Olympics (Winter Olympics), Summer Paralympics (Paralympic Games), Winter Paralympics, Summer Youth Olympic Games (YOG) and Winter Youth Olympic Games. The Olympic Games originated in ancient Greece more than 2,000 years ago and got its name because it was held in Olympia. After the closure of the ancient Olympic Games 1500 years, Coubertin, a Frenchman, put forward an initiative to host the modern Olympic Games at the end of 19.

At that time, the Olympic Games referred to the Summer Olympics. Its history can be traced back to ancient Greece more than two thousand years ago. For various reasons, after the ancient Olympic Games closed 1 0,000 years, in order to follow the spirit of the ancient Olympic Games, it was not until 1 0,896 that the modern summer Olympic Games was held in Athens for the first time. As an important part of the Olympic Games, the Winter Olympics began in 1924, with a history of less than 100.

Although two world-class Olympic Games are also held around the world, the summer Olympic Games far exceeds the winter Olympic Games in terms of the number of athletes, the number of events and their influence. Judging from the number of gold medals produced, the Summer Olympic Games will produce more than 400 gold medals each time, while the Winter Olympic Games will only have about 100. It can be seen from this that the scale of the Summer Olympic Games has great influence. In addition, there are more events in the Summer Olympics than in the Winter Olympics, and there are almost no weather restrictions. However, due to the influence of the season, extra efforts and plans will be made in the site selection of the Winter Olympics.

Therefore, in everyone's impression, the Olympic Games are all summer, and the Winter Olympics are often ignored.
