Olympics Overview
Every four years, the world’s best athletes gather to compete in either the Summer or Winter Olympic Games. Paris, France will host the next Summer Olympic Games in 2024, and Milano Cortina, Italy will host the next Winter Olympic Games in 2026.
Featured Sports
The most popular Winter and Summer sports in the Olympics are a mix of individual athletic feats and team competitions.
Curling
To outsiders, the Olympic sport of curling may resemble shuffleboard on ice. Some might even say frozen bocce ball. But among fans, curling is more often compared to “chess on ice”. That’s because this ancient game relies as much on strategy as it does on accurate throws and feverishly brushed, smooth ice.
Figure Skating
Figure skaters don’t exactly break the laws of physics. But they often appear to bend the rules a bit. Perennially popular, figure skating combines remarkable athleticism with stunning artistry. Since its introduction at the 1908 Summer Olympics, figure skating has evolved to become a favorite Winter Olympics sport.
Track and Field
Track and field is the core sport that most think of when the Summer Olympics come to mind. It includes athletic events that focus on running, jumping, and throwing. It’s one of the oldest sports that dates back to the ancient Olympic Games in Greece.
Gymnastics
Gymnastics have been a part of almost every modern Olympics. It consists of 18 events that are split between men and women. The combination of strength, flexibility, athleticism, and artistic movement has made the sport a much-watch. The United States has the second-most total medals of all nations competing in gymnastics.
