Unit1 冬奥历史 The Winter Olympics 02

ZM: The spectators were thrilled by the ski jumping and bobsleigh competitions, as well as several other events. All together there were 6 sports involved. Amazing, isn’t it? Can you imagine how popular winter sports were at that time, more than 90 years ago?

K: Actually, due to people’s interest, a few winter sports were included in the Summer Olympic Games; so, ultimately, it was natural for there to be an Olympics specifically for winter sports.
