Introduction
Past Games
The Winter Olympic Games have been hosted on three continents by thirteen countries. There have been 25 Winter Olympics since they debuted in 1924.
Olympic Sports
The original five Winter Olympic Sports were bobsleigh, curling, ice hockey, Nordic skiing, and skating. Then other sports and disciplines have been added and some of them, such as luge and snowboarding, have earned a permanent spot on the Olympic program. Some others, including curling and bobsleigh, have been discontinued and later reintroduced; others have been permanently discontinued, such as military patrol.
