Unlike the widely attended Summer Olympics， the Winter Games are almost a collection of wealthy athletes and nations. In fact， I’d suggest that the name of the Winter Games be changed. They could be more accurately branded the “The European and North American Expensive Sports Festival.”
Until as recently as 1994， fewer than a third of the planet’s countries took part. This year， in Turin， Italy， only 43 percent of the world’s total countries. Ethiopia， a nation of 73 million， will send its first “team” to a Winter Olympics this year – a single skier.
As always， the biggest teams， and the big winners， will come from a familiar pool. In the history of the winter competition， dating from its beginning in 1924， competitors from only six countries—including Norway， the United States， Austria and Finland， have won almost two-thirds of all the medals awarded. By contrast， the all-time list of summer winners is long and deep， extending to athletes from 143 countries.
It’s not just the presence or absence of snow and ice that determines Winter Olympics success， or even participation(参与). If it were， some of America’s best ice skaters and speedskaters wouldn’t live and train in Southern California or Florida. If it were， athletes from countries like Peru， Chile， Nepal， Moro
cco， Afghanistan and Ethiopia– all with snow-covered mountains—would be fighting for the medals.
Instead， the more telling factors are economic. Would-be Winter Olympians need years of training， coaching and competition. Most nations， even those with plenty of snow and cold， simply can’t afford the equipment.
Unlike the Winter Games， the Summer Olympics level many of the advantages of national wealth， as well as favorable geography and climate. Athletes from the poorest African and Caribbean nations have developed into some of the world’s greatest athletes with little cost.
Baron Pierre de Coubertin， the fonder of the modern Olympics， recognized some of the global sporting unfairness more than a century ago. De Coubertin objected to the creation of a separate Winter Olympics for many years， dismissing winter sports in 1921 as “the play of the rich.”
