The reason for this is that some countries don’t have the opportunity to do the games due to their climatic condition.The Winter Olympic Games are done every four years. These games are done in ice or snow and they are alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, figure skating, and ice hockey. This winter games are held since 1924.
