Wish all the best to china 2022 Olympic games. Sport is a reflection of the social, cultural, and ecnomic norms of the country.
I am looking forward to witness the Chinese culture, the Chinese spirit, the way Chinese are doing things on the upcoming winter Olympic.. The road is still long, but, a confident and courage person has unlimited energy and power. When the warrior reach to the top of the mountain, he even doesn't realize he is on the top..

It is official by this week, I forgot to update here.
Cina decided to ban all foreign spectators in China.
It will be allowed only for mainland people with vaccines to watch the game and support the players.

at least there are some spectators that they are allowing now. remember the population of china is so huge, so even a small portion of their population will watch live, would already be better than no one inside.
maybe this time, would be more lively than the previous summer olympics in japan.
but they just placed lockdown in the 3rd chinese city owed to covid - source
let's see if they can contain this before the winter olympics

Do you know these athletes? What do you think of them?
I don't think that they're not the famous per se like a professional athlete, remember that not every good athlete doesn't have to be famous to be ablr to compete so sadly I don't know any of them but when this games finally happen, pretty sure that they're going to be renowned especially if they get the gold in their respective discipline.

I thought that all the Olympics including Winter Olympics is going to be hosted in the same country? Also, why is Winter delayed in about two years? Is it because of something about when it started or something much more historical reason?
For as long as I can remember the winter and summer games have always been held in different countries.
Both winter and summer games take place every 4 years this way every 2 years we will have either one or the other.
The only recent peculiarity occurred this year due to Covid and the postponement of the summer games for a year.

According to the small research that I have conducted the winter games were held at the same place and time than the summer games until 1992, it was decided by the Olympic Committee to change this and held an additional winter games in 1994 in order to bring more attention to those sports and since then there has been a two year difference between the games, also this was made possible because they wanted to obtain more revenue and they thought that this was a way to do it, so as you can see there is nothing historical about it.https://olympics.com/ioc/faq/history-and-origin-of-the-games/since-when-have-the-summer-and-winter-games-no-longer-been-held-in-the-same-year

Winter game... to enjoy the sports competitions that best represent that athletes-sports-nature symbiosis.
All winter sports in general entertain me, but I admit that Figure skating and speed skating captivate me.
Topic it makes you think that we are there just around the corner with some new Olympic games, 4 great sporting events in less than a year.

I was not really sure of the answer so I went on the Google and it said :
Norway
US
Germany
Are the top dogs in winter Olympics they have been winning a lot of medals since it started therefore we might be seeing these countries dominate in the same and at the same time they are followed by Soviet union apparently!? Which I do think is a bit weird to say right now then Canada and Austria.

Norway
US

It's not that weird. Just think about the modalities in which each country wins and its greatness for winter games.
It was strange not to see Norway with many medals. Much of the sports originates there, especially skiing. Who has 3 or 4 variations. And it is a country where this type of sports is highly valued.
The USA and Germany, due to their size and investment in these activities, turn out to be similar.
The Russia/Soviet Union did not invest much in these sports for a long time, but it has been gaining ground.
Already Canada, despite being a northern country of the world, they are very strong in two or three ways, but in others, seems to invest a lot.
Austria turns out to be a smaller country compared to others.

just curious, which country is usually a strong contender in the Winter Olympics and what sport they usually dominate? I don't really follow it since most of the sport that are in the winter Olympics is usually not well known in my country and my country hasn't really participated that much in it so my interest in the event is not that great(no offense to the huge fans of The Winter Olympic) compare to the Summer Olympics.

Winter and summer games are always in different locations.
The Winter Olympic Games are not late, they take place every 4 years, two years after the Olympic Games.
The Olympic Games in Tokyo were postponed to 2021, but they should have taken place in 2020.

Yess, finally! I'm much more fond of the Winter Olympics than Summer. I'm actually surprised that the Games will take place, considering that the pandemic still isn't over, and with delta spreading, who knows what will be in China in winter? But in any case, I'm really looking forward to it. My favorites are figure skating, freestyle skiing, cross-country skiing, and, of course, ski jumping.
I wonder who's going to nail it this year: the US, Norway, Germany, or maybe Russia?
It is not a surprising that the games are actually going to take place, taking into account that if the Olympic Games took place and they are bigger than the Winter Games then it makes sense for the Winter Games to be held as well, what I'm worried about is that the last games were not really transmitted where I live so I could not really watch them except for a few events and now if we add the difference in the time zone then this is probably going to be even harder now. I wonder who's going to nail it this year: the US, Norway, Germany, or maybe Russia?

Even if the pandemic still is not over, China will prepare for that and maybe they will use strict rules for the audience who wants to watch the Winter Olympics.I wonder who's going to nail it this year: the US, Norway, Germany, or maybe Russia?

Those two articles can be your guide to select the players or teams if you want to get more info to bet on the sports you like.
I am not too familiar with all sports, but I wonder which sports betting will add those events to their list as previous events.

Usually the host country is the one who always got a lead because of home country advantage and this time it's China. But as usual European country and US is a good contender on this Olympics because they specialise on this events too.

The last time I got interesting watching the Winter Olympics is way back when Apollo Ohno was the Golden Boy of the Olympics, the most decorated Winter Olympics athlete from the US if I'm not mistaken (already inducted to the US HOF.
Just imagine him the Michael Phelps of Summer Olympics when he was dominating the swimming events.
But maybe this time, I will try to follow and see how will be the next face of the American athletes.

Still USA, they dominate the winter Olympics as well.
I'm not usually in Winter Olympics, but when I was in Canada many years ago, I started to watch the Olympics and there are sports that I don't know personally, like the curling, Lol. It was really a good experience to see how this sports are being played.
And then there was this movie "Men in Broom", a romantic comedy about this sports.
Still very exciting games, same with the Summer games, but obviously, not all countries can join the winter olympics.
I remember watching Winter Olympics because of Yuna Kim, a South Korean figure skater. She's already retired as she's about 30 yrs old already. I guess, there is advantage for those countries that experience winter season. Because in some countries, they never have any winter so practicing these winter sports, they need to really go to cold countries if they don't have these facilities in their home country.

Japan Olympics made it and so I believe this Winter Olympics can do better.
As the vaccination is really in full force in most countries, I think, by next year, we will be more contained with the spread of this virus. Hopefully.
But let us see how China will approach regarding spectators. Are they going to be more open or not?
