The Difference between The Winter Olympic Games and The Arctic Winter Games

Both the Arctic Winter Games ( AWG) and the Winter Olympic Games are important and international events for sports. But there are many differences between them.


First, where the participants come from is different. The Winter Olympic Games is for athletes from all over the world, while the AWG is for the northern and arctic athletes. So fewer countries participate in the AWG than in the Winter Olympic Games.


Second, the competitions are different. The AWG celebrates not only sports, but also social exchange and culture. The Winter Olympic Games feature winter sports held on snows or ice such as figure skating, cross-country skiing, bobsledding and ice hockey.


Finally, the frequency of the games is different. The AWG is held every two years, while the Winter Olympic Games happen every four years.


Although the two sport games have some differences, their main goals are to develop the sprit of sport all over the world.
