The Olympics through history:

are multidisciplinary sporting events involving athletes from around the world, in ancient Greece were dedicated to the god Zeus. There are two types of Olympics: Summer Olympics and Winter Olympics, which take place in a range, including four years. The organization responsible for conducting them is the International Olympic Committee (for short, IOC).

The first edition of the so-called Olympics of the modern era was held in Athens, capital of Greece. Since that time, the Olympics have been held every four years in various parts of the planet, the only exceptions being the editions of 1916, 1940 and 1944, due to the outbreak of the First and Second World War.

The Winter Olympics were first held in 1924 in the French town of Chamonix. Subsequently, in order to foster the development of winter events, the IOC decided to delay the implementation of the Winter Olympics in Lillehammer 1994.
