The Winter Olympic Games 2018 will be held in Pyeongchang from February 9 to February 25. About 2,500 athletes will take part in them. They will compete for 102 sets of medals in 15 disciplines.
Story
The Winter Olympic Games have been held since 1924. Formerly two winter sports - figure skating and hockey - were featured on Summer Olympics. But at first, the 1924 Winter Olympics in Chamonix was timed Summer Games and was called "International sports week on the occasion of the VIII Olympiad". The success of the competition was so great that it was decided to hold and Winter Games with the same frequency as the Summer Olympics - once every four years.
This rule has been broken twice. The 1940 and 1944 Olympics were canceled due to World War II. The second time the frequency has changed for a pleasant reason. International Olympic Committee decided that it was not very good to hold both the Summer and Winter Games in the same year. And then the “white” Olympics were shifted for two years: so that the XVI and XVII Winter Games in Albertville -92 and Lillehammer -94 were separated by only two years.
Disciplines and awards
At the first Winter Olympics in 1924, only 14 sets of medals were played. But with each Games, both the number of participants and the number of disciplines has grown, and there will already be more than 100 award ceremonies in Pyeongchang.
For 2018 in the number of winter Olympic sports sports include:
Skiing
Ski race
ski jumping
Nordic combined
Freestyle
Snowboard
Figure skating
Skating
Short track
Skeleton
luge
Hockey
Venues
Since winter sports require special infrastructure such as ice rinks, trampolines, ski slopes and so on, the "white" Olympics were held only on three continents - in Europe, North America and Asia. And the Asians got into this company. Only in 1972, when the Games were held in Sapporo, Japan. In fact, Asia should have appeared on this list much earlier. But in 1940, the Olympics in the same Sapporo was canceled due to World War II.
Russia and the USSR at the Winter Olympics
This is a paradox, but the first gold medal in winter activities sports Russia won at the Summer Olympics. And it was the first in the history of the country Olympic gold. At the 1908 Games in London, figure skater Nikolai Panin-Kolmenkin became the champion in the "special figures" discipline, which was no longer represented in the program at subsequent Olympiads. It is noteworthy that Panin-Kolmenkin also participated in the 2012 Summer Olympics, but already in pistol shooting competitions.
The USSR national team took part in the Winter Olympics for the first time in 1956. And immediately won 7 gold medals, 3 silver and 6 bronze, becoming the first in the unofficial team standings.
In 1992 after the collapse of the USSR Russian athletes competed as part of the unified CIS team under the Olympic flag. And since 1994, the Russian team has already been an independent team.
Winter Olympic records
Olympic records in winter competitions are recorded only in two sports: speed skating and short track. Because in all other disciplines, where the time or flight distance is fixed, for example, in ski jumping, a lot depends on the terrain of the tracks or the very design of the sports facility.
Russian luger Albert Demchenko took part in seven Olympics! This is a kind of absolute Olympic record. Albertville-92 was his first Games, and he finished his performances in Sochi -2014. True, Demchenko did not manage to win gold - he only has three "silver".
Lydia Skoblikova won two golds at the 1960 games, and four more four years later, and is the only 6-time Olympic champion in speed skating.
Norwegian Ole Einar Bjorndalen - 8 times Olympic champion. In Sochi, at the age of 40, he won three gold medals.
Karl-August Kronlund of Sweden is the oldest medalist Winter Olympics. He won silver in kreling with Sweden at the age of 59 years and 155 days.
Athlete from South Korea Kim Yoon Mi is the youngest champion. In the short track skating competition in 1994, she won the 3000 meters relay at the age of 13 years and 85 days.
