The International Olympic Committee held the "Winter Sports Week" in Chamonix, France on 1924 to conduct pure winter sports competitions. 1925, the Prague meeting of the International Olympic Committee renamed it the "First Winter Olympic Games" and decided to hold it every four years, in the same year as the Summer Olympic Games, in the same country.

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. Because the time of the Winter Olympics and the Summer Olympics are staggered, only 1992 Winter Olympics and 1994 Winter Olympics are separated by two years.

Beijing successfully won the right to host the 24th Winter Olympics.

On July 3rd, 2065438, at the 28th plenary session of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, IOC President Bach announced that China was awarded the right to host the 24th Winter Olympic Games in 2022. Beijing has also made history, becoming the first city to host both the Summer Olympics and the Winter Olympics.

The three concepts of Beijing Zhangjiakou's bid to host the Winter Olympics are "athlete-centered, sustainable development and thrifty hosting". These three concepts are highly compatible with the Olympic Agenda 2020 and have left a deep impression on the international community.
