What is the knowledge about the Winter Olympics?

Knowledge about the Winter Olympics includes:

1. Skiing originated and developed in Scandinavian countries. "Standing", "board", "snow" and "sliding" are the key elements of skiing. After long-term development, official skiing events include alpine skiing, Nordic skiing, freestyle skiing, biathlon skiing and snowboarding.

2. Biathlon actually belongs to the category of snow sports, but it is not only about snow, but combines the two different characteristics of cross-country skiing and shooting, so it requires athletes to have both the ability to turn from dynamic to static and the ability to turn from static.

3. Previous Winter Olympics were generally held in ski resorts with cold climate, often far away from big cities. Before Beijing, the only capital city that hosted the Winter Olympics was Oslo, Norway.

The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games will be jointly held in Beijing and Zhangjiakou. This is the first time in the history of China to host the Winter Olympics.

5. In the Winter Olympics, female athletes have long been refused to participate in some events, such as cross-country skiing and platform skiing, in which platform skiing was not allowed for female athletes until the Winter Olympics in Sochi in 20 14.
