Development course:
/kloc-At the end of 0/9 and the beginning of the 20th century, the shadow of the Olympic Games gradually formed.
1At the end of the 9th century and the beginning of the 20th century, some ice and snow sports, such as skiing, sledding, skating and ice hockey, were gradually popularized and developed in Europe and America.
1887 Norway established the world's first ski club.
1890, Canada established the world's first ice hockey association.
1892 the international skating Federation was established in the Netherlands.
1893, the first men's speed skating championship was held in Amsterdam.
From 65438 to 0908, France established the International Ice Hockey Federation all over the world.
With the increasing popularity of ice and snow sports, Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games, suggested that the Winter Olympic Games should be held separately, but it was postponed because of the successful Nordic joint sports held in Scandinavia in Europe in 190 1.
1908 figure skating was added to the 4th Summer Olympic Games.
The 7th Summer Olympic Games will be held in 1920.
The International Olympic Committee refused to accept nordic combined and added ice hockey. After joining the Olympic Games, figure skating and ice hockey attracted great interest from the audience. However, due to the weather conditions, the organizers feel inconvenient. Although both events were held in April in advance, most competitions and the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games were held in mid-August. This makes an Olympic Games as long as five months, and the cost of manpower and material resources is too high. In view of this, people tend to separate the ice and snow events from the Olympic Games and hold them separately.
1924 constitutes the official Winter Olympics.
At that time, Chamonix, France hosted what was then called "Winter Sports Week". Two years later, the IOC officially renamed it 1 Winter Olympics.
Originally, the Winter Olympic Games was held every four years, and it was held in the same country as the Summer Olympic Games. Since the second Winter Olympics in 1928, the venues of the Winter Olympics and the Summer Olympics have been changed to different countries. Starting from 1994, the Winter Olympics and the Summer Olympics are held alternately, with an interval of two years. In order to stagger the time of the Winter Olympics and the Summer Olympics, only 1992 Winter Olympics and 1994 Winter Olympics are separated by two years.

The upper part of the emblem shows the shape of skaters, while the lower part shows the heroic attitude of skiers. The dance lines in the middle are smooth and rhythmic, representing the rolling hills, stadiums, snow slides and festive ribbons in the venue, adding a festive visual feeling to the emblem and symbolizing that the Beijing Winter Olympics will be held during the Spring Festival in China.
The emblem is dominated by blue, symbolizing dreams and the future, and also symbolizing the brightness and purity of ice and snow. Red and yellow are derived from the national flag of China, representing the passion, youth and vitality of sports.
In the form of "Beijing 2022" font, it absorbs the characteristics of China's calligraphy and paper-cutting, enhances the cultural connotation and expressive force of the font, and also embodies the sense of integrity and unity with the emblem graphics.
