What is the origin of the Winter Olympics?

Generally speaking, the Olympic Games are held in summer, but due to the weather and facilities, such as skiing competition, it can't be held. However, because ice and snow sports are loved by more and more people in Europe and America, the president of the Olympic Games decided to hold an Olympic Games in winter, and all ice and snow-related projects were held separately, so the Winter Olympics came into being.

The full name of the Winter Olympics is the Winter Olympic Games. Like the Summer Olympics, it is held every four years. Many ice and snow sports originated in western countries, so hosting the Winter Olympics can fully promote cultural exchanges between the East and the West. As a global large-scale event, the Olympic Games can provide their own stage for sports talents from all countries to show their competitive style.
