Winter Olympic Games
Snowy athletic competition
The Winter Olympic Games are an international athletic competition held every four years featuring sports practiced on snow and ice—skiing, skating, hockey, bobsled, and the like.
They began in 1924 as a counterpart to the Summer Olympics, which focus on warm-weather sports.
