Summer Olympic Game

Winter Olympic Game

Hye, now lets discuss about the differences between summer and winter Olympic game. the first modern summer Olympic was held on 1896 and 28 years later on 1924 first winter Olympic was held at France same venue with the summer Olympic. Interestingly, both these editions were held in the same years, until the year 1992, before the IOC (International Olympic committee) decided to organize the two events at a gap of every two years. As a consequence, the next Winter Olympics was held in the year 1994, instead of being held in the year 1996. Summer Olympics are the Olympic Games which are mainly held in the summer season. The games and sporting events organized at the Summer Olympics are totally in contrast to the ones held at Winter Olympics. It is also fair to say that this is the competition which stages the most competitive and the most widely followed sporting events of the world. These events include the likes of athletics, football, basketball, swimming, weightlifting, hockey, volleyball, badminton, gymnastics, etc. The Summer Olympic Games also enjoy a wider fan base and an enormous television audience than its winter counterpart. The Winter Olympics, as the name suggests, are held particularly in the winter season. The games played are specific to this kind of season, and are also called as winter sports. Some of the most popular winter sports such as ice-skating, figure skating, ice hockey, snowboarding, skiing, etc.Like Winter Olympics, the Summer Olympics too are held over a time frame of two to three weeks. The process of awarding the medals also remains the same. The upcoming Summer Olympics are going to be held in the year 2016, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
