What is the origin of the Winter Olympics?

The origins of the Winter Olympics are as follows:

/kloc-At the end of 0/9 and the beginning of the 20th century, the shadow of the Olympic Games gradually formed.

1At the end of the 9th century and the beginning of the 20th century, some ice and snow sports such as skiing, sledding, skating and ice hockey gradually became popular and developed in Europe and America.

1887 Norway established the world's first ski club.

1890, Canada established the world's first ice hockey association.

1892 the international skating Federation was established in the Netherlands.

1893, the first men's speed skating championship was held in Amsterdam.

From 65438 to 0908, France established the International Ice Hockey Federation all over the world.

With the increasing popularity of ice and snow sports, Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games, suggested that the Winter Olympic Games should be held separately, but it was postponed because of the successful Nordic joint sports held in Scandinavia in Europe in 190 1.

1908 figure skating was added to the 4th Summer Olympic Games.

The 7th Summer Olympic Games will be held from June 438 to September 20.

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.

1924 constitutes the official Winter Olympics.
