What countries have withdrawn from the Winter Olympics?

At present, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and Lithuania have stated that they will not send officials to attend the Beijing Winter Olympics, but athletes will still participate normally.

The number of countries participating in each Winter Olympics is different. Only 16 countries participated in the first Winter Olympics in Chamonix, France. By the 17th Lillehammer Winter Olympics in Norway, the number of participating countries had increased to 67. ?

The Chinese delegation has a total number of 387 people and 176 athletes. This is also the largest Winter Olympics in the history of Chinese sports delegation! As the Chinese delegation came on stage for the last time, a big snowflake also formed in the Bird's Nest. This big snowflake is composed of the names of all participating countries (regions) and is shaped like an olive branch, which means "harmony among all nations".

The only Double Olympic City.

There is only one Double Olympics country, because Beijing once hosted the Beijing Summer Olympics. After hosting the Beijing Winter Olympics, the city of Beijing has hosted the Olympic Games twice.

Before Beijing hosted the Beijing Winter Olympics, no city had ever been able to host two Olympic Games. Although some countries were able to host two or even three Olympic Games, no city alone hosted two Olympic Games. Because of this, after Beijing hosted the Beijing Winter Olympics, Beijing was also the only city in the world that was able to host two Olympic Games.
