A special edition for winter
sports A winter sport is a sport
commonly played during winter, usually a sport played on snow or ice.
The Winter Olympic Games, Winter Olympics for short but more
correctly The Olympic Winter Games, are the cold-weather counterpart to
the Summer Olympic Games. They feature winter sports held on ice or snow, such
as ice skating and skiing.
The Winter Olympics, established in 1924, are held every four years. In
1994, these are no longer held in the same year as the Games of the
Olympiad. The most recent celebration was in Salt Lake City, United States
in 2002. The Italian city of Turin (Torino) will host the next Winter Olympics
in 2006, and after that the games will be held in Vancouver, Canada in 2010.
