The 2018 Winter Olympics

The Olympic Games are split into two competitions — both the Winter Olympics and the Summer Olympics. Both occur every four years, with two decades between them. The Winter Olympics is the smaller of the 2 competitions, but it still includes a number of distinct sports and events.
Somewhat the Winter Olympics are for sports which are practiced on snow and/or ice. They featured ski in a variety of forms, along with figure skating, speed skating and curling.
In the past several years sports are added to the schedule. These include some other kinds of skiing and skating, snowboarding, and skeleton (a kind of sledding).
The introduction of more sports has helped to expand the appeal of the Winter Olympics. They had been traditionally of interest mostly in North America and Europe, because the majority of the competing athletes came from these regions.
Throughout the last couple of years, however, athletes in nations such as South Korea and Australia have competed successfully in occasions. It has contributed to audiences around the globe.
Each Winter Olympics is held in a different host city. So far, they have been held in eleven states spread across the 3 continents. The United States has been home to the contest more times than any other country (4), most recently back in 2002.
The prior Winter Olympics were held in 2014, in Sochi, Russia. The following would be to be held in PyeongChang County, South Korea. Although they hosted the Summer Olympics in 1988, this is the first Winter Olympics of South Korea.
