[Olympic games 2018] Directly from South Korea - I
The emblem of the first winter Olympic Games The first Winter Olympic Games were held in 1924 in the French city of Chamonix. 16 countries and 258 athletes took part in 9 sports. Initially, the competition was not considered an Olympiad, it was just a competition that was held during the International Winter Sports Week . The financial performance of the first winter Olympic Games was far from inspiring, but the interest from not only the athletes themselves, but also the fans and spectators, exceeded all expectations. Subsequently, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) decided to hold such competitions regularly. Winter Olympics were held in the same year as the Summer Olympic Games, and in 1994 it was decided to conduct winter and summer Olympics with an interval of 2 years. Well, now, back in our time, to the XXIII Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang. The choice of the venue for the Olympic Games is also a competition. In 2014, South Korea applied to the IOC, but then she lacked 4 votes. Having gained 51 votes, Russia became the venue for the 2014 Olympic Games. But in the summer of 2011, during the IOC meeting, Pyeongchang was selected as the capital of 23 winter Olympics, beating Germany and France. The emblem symbolizes a world that is open to all. The logo shows the letter of the Korean alphabet ㅍ , which means the city of the Olympics itself - Pyeongchang is the city of harmony between heaven and earth. And the asterisk in the upper right corner is snow and ice.
